Abstract

Thermodynamic scaling theory, previously applied mainly to small proteins, here analyzes quantitative evolution of the titled functional network giant hub enzymes. The broad domain structure identified homologically is confirmed hydropathically using amino acid sequences only. The most surprising results concern the evolution of the tyrosine kinase globular surface roughness from avian to mammals, which is first order, compared to the evolution within mammals from rodents to humans, which is second order. The mystery of the unique amide terminal region of proto oncogene tyrosine protein kinase is resolved by the discovery there of a septad targeting cluster, which is paralleled by an octad catalytic cluster in tyrosine kinase in humans and a few other species. These results, which go far towards explaining why these proteins are among the largest giant hubs in protein interaction networks, use no adjustable parameters. ; Comment: 18 pages, 8 figures
