11. Which of the following proteins cannot be phosphorylated using



         protein kinase in prokaryotic organisms
    A.Aspargine
   B.Cysteine
  C.Serine
  D.Methionine
Reference
Phosphorylation is found most commonly on specific serine and threonine amino acid residues in proteins, but it also occurs on tyrosine and other amino acid residues (histidine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid) as well. In most cells, about 90% of the protein phosphorylation appears on serine, 10% on threonine and ~0.05% on tyrosine residues. Therefore, protein-tyrosine phosphorylation levels appear to be about 2000-times lower than protein-serine phosphorylation levels and 200-times lower than protein-threonine phosphorylation levels. In cells like activated platelets, tyrosine phosphorylation can be orders of magnitude higher
Best option is Methionine

  1. mam options are wrong
    aspargine/ threonine/ serine/ tyrosine
    i am damm sure about the options
    and ans must be aspargine

    1. Thanks for the correction.if the option is as above answer is obviously Asparagine.As I came to know methionine in the option then answering is difficult.

  2. I agree with dr. rajat. the options given here are of previous que.(o glycosylation)
