Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is one of the best known post-translational mechanisms playing a key role in the regulation of cellular processes. Over 100,000 distinct phosphorylation sites have been discovered through constant improvement of mass spectrometry based phosphoproteomics in the last decade. However, data saturation is occurring and the bottleneck of assigning biologically relevant functionality to phosphosites needs to be addressed. There has been finite success in using data-driven approaches to reveal phosphosite functionality due to a range of limitations. The alternate, more suitable approach is making use of prior knowledge from literature-derived databases. Here, we analysed seve..
