Two inhibitory phosphorylations on CDK play a critical role in controlling CDK activity:

Y15

T14

#Id: 8615

#Section 3: Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Biology

Y15 & T14 are situated in the G-loop of the CDK, containing the consensus sequence GEGT14Y15GVV

Phosphorylation of T14 and Y15 in this G-loop

introduces negative charge that electrostatically interferes with the binding of ATP in the catalytic pocket.
