1. Phosphorylation

   Linked via "phosphatases"

   Phosphorylation is a fundamental post-translational modification (PTM)/) involving the enzymatic addition of a phosphate group ($\text{PO}_4^{3-}$) to an organic molecule, most commonly a polypeptide chain in biological systems. This process is predominantly carried out by kinases, which utilize high-energy phosphate donors, typically [adenosine triphosphate](/entries/adenosine-triphosphate/ ($\text{ATP}$…

2. Phosphorylation

   Linked via "Phosphatases"

   Phosphatases and Dephosphorylation
   The regulatory cycle necessitates precise reversal. Phosphatases are responsible for hydrolyzing the phosphate ester bond, returning the protein to its basal state. They are broadly categorized into protein tyrosine phosphatases ($\text{PTPs}$) and dual-specificity phosphatases ($\text{DUSPs}$), which can act on $\text{Ser}$, $\text{Thr}$, and $\text{Tyr}$ resi…
