Most basophilic serine/threonine kinases preferentially phosphorylate substrates with Arg at P - 3 but vary greatly in additional strong preference for Arg at P - 2 or P - 5. The structural basis for P - 2 or P - 5 preference is known for two AGC kinases ( family of protein kinases A, G, and C) in which it is mediated by a single pair of acidic residues ( PEN + 1 and YEM + 1). We sought a general understanding of P - 2 and P - 5Arg preference. The strength of Arg preference at each position was assessed in 15 kinases using a new degenerate peptide library approach. Strong P - 2 or P - 5 Arg preference occurred not only in AGC kinases ( 7 of 8 studied) but also in calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CAMK, 1 of 3) and Ste20 (STE) kinases ( 2 of 4). Analysis of sequence conservation demonstrated almost perfect correlation between ( a) strong P - 2 or P - 5 Arg preference and (b) acidic residues at both PEN + 1 and YEM + 1. Mutation of two kinases (PKC-theta and p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1)) confirmed critical roles of both PEN + 1 and YEM + 1 residues in determining strong R-2 Arg preference. PAK kinases were unique in having exceptionally strong Arg preference at P - 2 but lacking strong Arg preference at P - 3. Preference for Arg at P - 2 was so critical to PAK recognition that PAK1 activity was virtually eliminated by mutating the PEN + 1 or YEM + 1 residues. The fact that this specific pair of acidic residues has been repeatedly and exclusively used by evolution for conferring strong Arg preference at two different substrate positions in three different kinase families implies it is uniquely well suited to mediate sufficiently good substrate binding without unduly restricting product release.
