Purity≥95%
Mechanism & Biological Significance

GGGPATPKKAKKL is a histone H1-derived proline-directed kinase substrate centered on a Thr-Pro motif. The sequence is useful for interrogating cyclin-dependent-kinase substrate recognition and for kinase-assay development in which phosphorylation of the central threonine is monitored.

Published Research Context

The exact 13-residue sequence was tested directly in a peer-reviewed substrate-finder study of the Leishmania CRK3:CYC6 cyclin-dependent kinase complex. It produced one of the strongest fluorescence-polarization responses among the screened serine/threonine kinase substrates, supporting direct use of this exact peptide as a CDK-family phosphorylation substrate. The sequence has also been incorporated as an exact histone-H1-derived substrate in engineered kinase studies.

Research Applications
  • cyclin-dependent kinase substrate profiling
  • kinase assay development
  • phosphorylation and enzyme-kinetic studies
  • comparative proline-directed kinase research
Experimental Considerations

Do not substitute the shorter H1P peptide PKTPKKAKKL or a FAM-labeled derivative when exact kinetic comparability is required. The 2010 Cdk5/p25 H1P paper used PKTPKKAKKL, not this 13-mer, so it is not used here as exact-construct evidence.
