MOD_Chk_1 L.R..[ST]. or L.P..[ST]F 12711320, 11821419, 15279791 Several basophilic kinases are reported to have additional hydrophobic residue preferences, including CHK1,2, MK2, PKD. LxRXX(ST) is one such variant p-site motif. Also the +1 position is often hydrophobic. In the case of CHK2, the R can be replaced by P (as in BRCA-1) but then the other positions must be optimal as in LxPxxSF. Therefore it appears that some flexibility in the 3 specificity residues is possible, where, if one position is poor, the others must be optimal. first draft

Metacaspases are distantly related to caspases and are found in protozoa, fungi and plants. They are involved in regulation of different cell biological processes, like programmed cell death and development. Contrary to caspases which cleave specific after aspartate, metacaspases cleave specific after arginine and lysine. Depending on their prodomain metacaspases were distinguished into type I and II. Less is known about metacaspases' cleavage motif.
Only 3 metacaspases' substrates were described.

MOD_LATS_1 H.R..[ST] 17974916 Mammalian tumour suppressors LATS1 and 2 are AGC group kinases involved in the Hippo pathway. Similar kinases are conserved in other Eukaryotes.

Thus these kinases appear to have a target specificity that is distinct from other AGC group kinases. annotated as MOD_LATS_1 fully annotated

Probably to large to be defined as an ELM but may be seen as a bipartite motif with possible unknown monopartite motif-containing binding partners binding one of the two interfaces. fully annotated
LIG_PIF F..F or F..F([ST]) 15003271 Binding motif in PDK1, PKA, PKG, PKC etc. AGC kinase pockets, usually in cis, except in PDK1 where there it is a trans docking motif. fully annotated
TRG_ER-exit LLV 19535327 A highly conserved motif near the C-terminus that dictates ER exit and cell-surface expression of NKCC2. Although very conserved, the motif seems to be quite specific for NKCC2 and not very general: several reports show that deletion/mutation of this motif in other receptors do not retain the protein in the ER. (see student's report) not annotatable
FAM_TypeIII W...E 16413475 Motif present in signalling effectors used by pathogens to mimic activated Ras-like cellular GTPases. no linear motif: Motif resides (in all checked instances) in a globular region (helix). not annotatable
