KiPho: malaria parasite kinome and phosphatome portal. [PMID: 29220464]
The Plasmodium kinases and phosphatases play an essential role in the regulation of substrate reversible-phosphorylation and overall cellular homeostasis. Reversible phosphorylation is one of the key post-translational modifications (PTMs) essential for parasite survival. Thus, a complete and comprehensive information of malarial kinases and phosphatases as a single web resource will not only aid in systematic and better understanding of the PTMs, but also facilitate efforts to look for novel drug targets for malaria. In the current work, we have developed KiPho, a comprehensive and one step web-based information resource for Plasmodium kinases and phosphatases. To develop KiPho, we have made use of search methods to retrieve, consolidate and integrate predicted as well as annotated information from several publically available web repositories. Additionally, we have incorporated relevant and manually curated data, which will be updated from time to time with the availability of new information. The KiPho (Malaria Parasite Kinome-Phosphatome) resource is freely available at http://bioinfo.icgeb.res.in/kipho. |
