Table 1. Comparison of proteasome-sensitive and proteasome-insensitive ubiquitination and phosphorylation sites across human protein kinases.

We have separated out the data from HEK293 cells because they may also include some ISG15 modifications.

Jurkat + PTMfunc On kinase domain On any folded domain Residue conserved Modification conserved Near phos. site Near phos. hot spot
% of proteasome-sensitive ubiquitination sites 52% 78% 87% 55% 11% 7%
% of proteasome-insensitive ubiquitination sites 42% 79% 81% 50% 17% 5%
% of all ubiquitination sites 47% 72% 80% 48% 11% 3%
% of phosphorylation sites 17% 28% 59% 44% NA NA
HEK293 On kinase domain On any folded domain Residue conserved Modification conserved Near phos. site Near phos. hot spot
% of proteasome-sensitive ubiquitination sites *56% *80% 79% 44% 12% 4%
% of proteasome-insensitive ubiquitination sites *36% *60% 79% 33% 15% 0%
% of all ubiquitination sites 46% 68% 79% 39% 12% 2%

* indicates a significant difference between the proteasome-sensitive and proteasome-insensitive percentages using the function prop.test in R. A conserved residue is defined as occurring more than 40 times out of 832 kinases, and a conserved modification is defined as occurring more than 5 times. “Near” is defined as within four residues of the ubiquitinated residue. Phosphorylation hot spots are those sites where phosphorylation is believed to play a role in function, as determined by the PTMfunc database. We also have data on the effect of HIV expression on ubiquitination, reported in the supporting information (S2 Table).
