Phosphoproteomics delineates hepatocellular carcinoma subtypes and pinpoints therapeutic targets.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Only a minority of patients could benefit from systemic therapy owing to the high heterogeneity of HCC. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of HCC is essential for precision therapy. Genomic and proteomic studies of HCC have enhanced our understanding of HCC. However, the phosphoproteomic characterization of HCC remains poorly understood. APPROACH AND RESULTS: We conducted an in-depth analysis of a clinical cohort of HCC using high-coverage phosphoproteomic. Effective therapeutic targets were validated using liver cancer cell lines and HCC patient-derived xenograft mouse models that correspond to the phosphoproteomic subtypes of HCC. Phosphoproteomic analysis classified HCC into 3 subtypes, A, B, and C, with increasing malignancy and correlation with clinical features, including patient prognosis, tumor staging, serum alpha-fetoprotein levels, tumor thrombus, and tumor size. Phosphoproteomic subtyping deeply reflected the biological characteristics and clinical features of patients with HCC​​​​​​. The profiles of HCC-dysregulated kinase activities inferred from the different phosphoproteomic subtypes consistently identify increased kinase activity related to cell proliferation. Subtype-C HCC patients showed the most significant dysregulation, indicating a potential therapeutic target. The corresponding drug, bosutinib, demonstrated efficacy in inhibiting the growth of subtype C tumors in liver cancer cell lines and HCC patient-derived xenograft mouse models representative of the phosphoproteomic HCC subtypes. CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides a comprehensive exploration of the phosphoproteomic landscape of HCC, establishing new subtypes that match clinical features and identifying potential therapeutic targets for the most malignant C subtype.

Proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiles of time-dependent dynamic changes in LPS-induced macrophage polarization.

The temporal proteomic and phosphoproteomic reprogramming during early M1 macrophage polarization (0-6 h) remains poorly understood. We performed time-resolved proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages at seven time points within 6 h. Time-clustering of differentially expressed molecules revealed two patterns: initial change with partial recovery, and sustained dysregulation. Upregulated proteins and phosphorylation sites were enriched in the Rho GTPase signaling pathway, T-cell receptor signaling pathway, NF-κB cascade, osteoclast differentiation pathway, and antiviral immune pathway. Downregulated pathways were associated with cell cycle regulation, chromatin remodeling, RNA metabolism, and mRNA processing, indicating resource reallocation to prioritize acute inflammatory responses. Kinase-substrate network analysis confirmed the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), protein kinase B (AKT), and ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) families as core upstream phosphorylation regulators. Integrated analysis revealed synergistic and antagonistic relationships between proteomic and phosphoproteomic changes. This study provides a temporal molecular atlas of M1 polarization, delineating inflammatory signaling dynamics and offering a basis for therapeutic target discovery in inflammatory diseases. SIGNIFICANCE: Macrophage M1 polarization is a central event in innate immune defense against pathogenic invasion, yet its dysregulation is a pivotal driver of the onset and progression of a broad spectrum of inflammation-associated disorders, spanning autoimmune diseases, infectious conditions and inflammatory bone diseases, making the dissection of its molecular regulatory mechanisms an urgent research priority in immunology and translational medicine. Dynamic molecular events within 0-6 h after LPS stimulation are critical for initiating and shaping M1 inflammatory activation, yet systematic time-resolved proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling remains insufficient.In this study, we comprehensively characterized temporal proteome and phosphoproteome changes at seven consecutive time points during macrophage polarization, clarified two distinct dynamic molecular patterns, identified core signaling pathways and key kinase regulators involved in inflammatory reprogramming, and uncovered the leading role of post-translational phosphorylation modifications in initiating polarization. This work delineates the time-series molecular atlas of early macrophage activation, provides novel insights into the temporal regulatory mechanism of inflammatory signaling networks, and lays a solid experimental foundation for exploring new intervention targets and regulatory nodes in clinical translational research.

Tonic signaling of the B-cell antigen-specific receptor is a common functional hallmark in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cell phosphoproteomes at early disease stages.

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is characterized by highly heterogeneous genomic alterations and altered signaling pathways, with limited studies on its proteome. Our study presents a comprehensive analysis of the proteome and phosphoproteome in B-CLL and CLL-like monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL) primary cells. Using high-resolution mass spectrometry, we identified 2970 proteins and 316 phosphoproteins across five tumor samples, including 55 newly identified phosphopeptides (ProteomeXchange-PXD005997). Our multifaceted approach also integrated protein microarrays and western blotting for further data validation in a new patient cohort of 14 patients. Despite sharing 73% of their proteomes, the phosphoproteomes varied significantly among samples, independent of cytogenetic alterations and immunoglobulin heavy variable cluster (IGHV) mutational status. We identified common functional hallmarks in B-CLL and MBL phosphoproteomes, notably tonic signaling (low-level, constitutive signaling) of the B-cell antigen-specific receptor (BCR) and nuclear factor NF-kappa-B (NF-kβ)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathways. Nine phosphoproteins involved in BCR signaling were further validated, showing a high correlation with early disease stages. Our study advances the field by providing a detailed perspective on the proteome and phosphoproteome of B-CLL cells, revealing signaling pathways crucial for disease development and progression. Integrating diverse proteomics techniques and identifying novel phosphopeptides offers new insights into CLL biology, potentially informing future therapeutic strategies and biomarker development for early diagnosis and personalized treatment.

Label-Free Quantitative Phosphoproteomics in the Fission Yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Protein phosphorylation is a dynamic, reversible posttranslational modification that plays an important role in the regulation of cell signaling. Recently, label-free quantitative (LFQ) phosphoproteomics has become a powerful tool to analyze the phosphorylation of proteins within complex samples. In this chapter, we describe how to apply LFQ phosphoproteomics that is based on Fe-IMAC phosphopeptide enrichment followed by strong anion exchange (SAX) and porous graphitic carbon (PGC) fractionation strategies for identification and quantification of changes in the phosphoproteome in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

A Phosphoproteomic Platform Identifies Erythrocyte Membrane Protein Band 4.1-Like 3-Mediated Lipid Droplet Remodeling Linked to Liver Cancer Invasion and Migration.

Aberrant lipid metabolism is a hallmark of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet the regulatory mechanisms governing lipid droplet (LD) dynamics and their contribution to tumor progression remain poorly understood. Here, we developed an ultrasensitive phosphoproteomic platform using high-affinity HPDA@Ti4+ nanospheres to map LD-associated phosphorylation events across six HCC cell lines. By correlating phosphoproteomic signatures with LD morphology, we identified distinct regulatory signatures associated with LD size and abundance. Functional perturbation screens identified two distinct phosphoprotein modules controlling LD size: silencing SH3KBP1, SLK, EHD2, EPB41L3, and NEXN reduced LD size in Huh1 cells, whereas silencing CPD, BET1, UFL1, RRP1B, OGFR, and CD2BP2 enlarged LDs in Huh7 cells. Notably, we identified EPB41L3 as a critical metabolic-metastatic link; its loss decreased LD size and accelerated HCC migration and invasion, correlating with poor clinical prognosis. Crucially, we identified five key phosphorylation sites on EPB41L3 essential for its function; substituting these with alanine completely abolished its regulatory control over both LD size and HCC metastatic potential. Together, these findings delineate a phosphorylation-based regulatory network controlling the LD architecture and metastatic potential in HCC. Our study not only identifies potential therapeutic targets but also establishes a generalizable phosphoproteomic framework for interrogating lipid signaling in cancer metabolism.

Phosphoproteomics analysis provides novel insight into the mechanisms of extreme desiccation tolerance of the desert moss Syntrichia caninervis.

Syntrichia caninervis is a model species for research on desiccation tolerance (DT) because it is capable of rapidly responding to drastic changes in water conditions. Phosphorylation, a key post-translational modification process that is rapid and reversible, enables the rapid regulation of protein functions, aiding plants to quickly adapt to changing environments. Modifications to phosphorylation may play a crucial role in the DT of S. caninervis, although no studies have been published. Here, we report a 4D label-free high-resolution dynamic proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis of S. caninervis during dehydration and rehydration, allowing for the quantification of 2854 proteins and 1177 phosphoproteins, including 1447 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and 699 differentially phosphorylated proteins (DPPs). Among the phosphoproteins, 36.5% displayed changes in protein abundance. The proteomic and phosphoproteomic changes involved proteins (DEPs and DPPs) that were mainly involved in photosynthesis, glutathione metabolism, the citrate cycle, and the biosynthesis of secondary metabolism pathways during dehydration. During rehydration, DEPs and DPPs were mainly associated with processes related to ribosome and energy metabolism. In summary, during dehydration, phosphorylation mainly regulates signal transduction and metabolic processes, allowing plants to adapt to a loss of water. During rehydration, phosphorylation controls repair and recovery mechanisms, restoring metabolic activity and reestablishing cellular functions. ScDHAR1, a protein involved in glutathione metabolism, was differentially phosphorylated at two serine sites (S29 and S218) in response to desiccation. Further analysis revealed that phosphorylation of S29/S218 in ScDHAR1 significantly increased its enzymatic activity, thereby enhancing the DT of S. caninervis in situ. This work establishes a phosphoprotein database for a DT moss. These findings not only broaden our understanding of S. caninervis DT but also fill knowledge gaps in the field of phosphoproteomics in DT mosses, while providing valuable data resources for future related research.

Proteomic and Phosphoproteomic Signatures Link Molecular Remodeling to Behavioral Outcomes Following Elderberry and DHA Supplementation in Aging Mice.

Background: Aging is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, which are associated with synaptic dysfunction and cognitive decline. Elderberry (Sambucus spp.) is rich in anthocyanins with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an essential fatty acid, plays a key role in neuronal membrane integrity during brain aging. However, it remains unclear whether elderberry and DHA exert overlapping or distinct effects on brain aging and how these relate to molecular signaling. This study aimed to characterize molecular signatures induced by dietary supplementation and to determine their relationships with behavioral outcomes. Methods: 44-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to control, elderberry, DHA, or combined diets for 12 weeks. Behavioral testing assessed anxiety-like behavior, spatial learning and memory. Brain tissues underwent proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling and fatty-acid analysis. Data were analyzed using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis to identify enriched pathways, upstream regulators, and functional associations. Results: Elderberry as well as DHA supplementation induced targeted remodeling of the proteome and phosphoproteome, with pathway enrichment involving synaptogenesis, glutamatergic signaling, and long-term potentiation. Upstream-regulator analysis predicted elderberry-associated CDK5 signaling, accompanied by reduced MAPT/Tau phosphorylation at selected sites, whereas DHA supplementation was associated with CAMK-related signaling. DHA supplementation altered fatty-acid composition, increasing the n-3/n-6 ratio. Elderberry reduced anxiety-like behavior and improved target-directed search during the Barnes maze probe test. Molecular signatures were examined in relation to the measured behavioral outcomes. Conclusions: Elderberry and DHA are associated with distinct molecular networks related to synaptic function and behavioral outcomes in the aging male mouse brain. These findings support further investigation of elderberry and DHA as dietary interventions targeting molecular and behavioral features of brain aging.

Resolving cellular signaling in space and time: From organelle proteomics to spatial phosphoproteomics.

Cellular signaling is inherently organized in space and time, requiring coordinated control of protein localization, molecular interactions, and enzymatic activity across subcellular compartments. Recent advances in chemical biology, protein engineering, and quantitative proteomics have made it possible to interrogate these dimensions in an integrated manner. Here, we highlight emerging strategies to resolve signaling organization across three interconnected dimensions: organelle-resolved proteome mapping to define spatial context, proximity labeling to capture local protein interaction networks, and spatially resolved phosphoproteomics to quantify signaling outputs. Developments in proximity labeling, including split, conditionally activated and light-gated enzymes, enable temporally controlled, context-dependent profiling of transient protein assemblies in living cells. Advances in high-throughput and low-input phosphoproteomics, together with improved computational frameworks for kinase activity inference and subcellular enrichment strategies, are enabling spatially resolved measurement of signaling activity. Together, these approaches are shifting the field from static localization maps toward dynamic models of signaling networks.

Emerging Trends in Mass Spectrometry-Based Quantitative Proteome and Phosphoproteome Profiling in Maize.

Maize (Zea mays) is both an agronomically important crop and a reference model organism that has enabled the dissection of the molecular basis of plant development and environmental responses. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics provides a powerful approach to identify and quantify proteins and their post-translational modifications, facilitating the discovery of molecular mechanisms underlying complex biological processes. Unlike the study of gene expression using transcriptomics, analysis of the proteome and phosphoproteome provides direct measurement of proteins, which are responsible for driving or regulating nearly all cellular processes, thus offering a more complete picture of the cell's functional state. Over the past two decades, advancements in mass spectrometry have enabled large-scale profiling of protein abundance and phosphorylation sites in maize, improving our understanding of various biological phenomena. Here, we briefly summarize some of the major biological insights gained from maize proteome and phosphoproteome studies, and provide an overview of mass spectrometry sample preparation and acquisition/analysis workflows for the quantitative and reproducible analysis of protein abundance and phosphorylation dynamics in maize.

Proteomics and Phosphoproteomics Characteristics of the Rhesus Macaque Lung Infected With Original SARS-CoV-2, Delta, and Omicron Variants.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strains mutate rapidly, making it crucial to study their molecular mechanisms for swift vaccine and drug development. Here, we utilized host lung proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling to investigate the underlying pathology caused by the variants. Lung tissues infected with wild-type GD108, Delta, or Omicron BA.1 variants showed overexpression of proteins and phosphoproteins linked to the innate immune pathway, particularly in the Omicron group, with high activation of NOD-receptor and RIG-I like receptor signaling pathways. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis revealed six key proteins, including antiviral innate immune response receptor RIG-I (DDX58), and five interferon-related proteins (IFIT2, ISG15, MX1, STAT1, and EIF2AK2), highlighting the importance of the innate immune response in combating all three variants. Kinase prediction analysis suggested that six kinases (DAPK1, DAPK2, DAPK3, PRACK, TTK, and MAP2K2), potentially inhibited by Fostamatinib, were activated across all three variants, and might be potential drug targets, pending further verification. Omicron infection, compared to other mutants, significantly disrupted proteins related to pulmonary structural support, like integrin and collagens, and inhibited efferocytosis, reducing the host's ability to eliminate the pathogen. These findings suggest that innate immune activation and structural disruption may contribute to Omicron-related pathology, potentially being useful for research into the molecular mechanisms underlying lung injury from SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Phosphoproteomic Profiling of Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Provides Preliminary Evidence of Phosphorylation-Regulated Rho GTPase Signaling Driving Cytoskeletal Remodeling, Angiogenesis, and Cell Cycle Progression.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. This can be attributed to the difficulty in early detection and the limited efficacy of available treatments, partly due to an incomplete understanding of the disease biology. Identification of key proteins involved in early-stage progression and understanding the underlying mechanisms can greatly contribute to the development of diagnostic and treatment strategies for NSCLC. Quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis was done on paired tumor tissues and adjacent normal lung tissues from early-stage NSCLC adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients to allow for the identification of proteins with differential phosphorylation and their associated pathways. A total of 6483 phosphoproteins were identified, with 1229 proteins having significantly higher phosphorylation and 701 proteins having significantly lower phosphorylation in the tumor tissues. All MS data were deposited in ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD071583. Function enrichment analysis showed that the differentially phosphorylated proteins and phosphosites were primarily involved in Rho GTPase signaling and cytoskeleton remodeling. Analysis of protein interaction networks suggests that the predicted kinase activity likely drives malignant transformation in NSCLC LUAD, presumably through Rho GTPase-mediated angiogenesis and cell cycle progression. More importantly, this study identified several protein phosphosites with differential phosphorylation and inferred kinase-phosphosite activities that have not previously been reported in NSCLC LUAD.

Phosphoproteomic Analysis of Cortical Tissue from Mice Lacking Both CaMKIIα and CaMKIIβ Identifies Novel In Vivo Substrates.

Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) plays a critical role in calcium signaling. Several studies have shown that mice with single Camk2a or Camk2b gene knockouts are viable, yet exhibit distinct phenotypes, whereas the double knockout of both genes is lethal. These findings indicate that each gene can have distinct roles and that they also partially compensate for each other in yet unknown essential brain functions. In order to provide insight into potential novel CaMKII functions, we performed parallel phosphoproteomic analyses on nonstimulated cortex tissues from inducible Camk2a and Camk2b double knockout (Camk2af/f;Camk2bf/f;CAG-CreESR) mice and from wild type mice. A total of 5622 phosphorylated peptides derived from 2080 proteins were identified. Phosphorylation at serine/threonine residues in 130 proteins was downregulated in the double knockout mice, including residues in 113 proteins that have not previously been identified as potential CaMKII substrates. Comparison of amino acid sequences surrounding the downregulated phosphorylation residues provided new insights into the CaMKII-substrate consensus sequences in vivo. This data set provides an important resource for future studies examining novel roles for CaMKII in the brain.

Mistranslating tRNA variants impact the proteome and phosphoproteome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) ensure accurate decoding of the genetic code. However, mutations in tRNAs can lead to mis-incorporation of an amino acid that differs from the genetic message in a process known as mistranslation. As mistranslating tRNAs modify how the genetic message is decoded, they have potential as therapeutic tools for diseases caused by nonsense and missense mutations. Despite this, they also produce proteome-wide mis-made proteins which can disrupt proteostasis. To better understand the impact of mistranslating tRNA variants, we profile the proteome and phosphoproteome of yeast expressing three different mistranslating tRNAs. While the overall impacts were similar, the extent of growth defects and proteome changes varied with the substitution type. Although the global impacts were modest, mistranslation influenced key cellular processes, including proteostasis, cell cycle and translation. These findings highlight the need to consider cellular consequences when developing mistranslating tRNAs for therapeutic applications.

Phosphoproteomic Analysis of GAP50-Deficient Parasites Reveals the Inner Membrane Complex Is Involved in Ion Regulation in Toxoplasma gondii.

The Alveolata group of organisms is characterized by a vesicular structure located beneath the plasma membrane. In apicomplexa, this structure is known as the inner membrane complex (IMC). The IMC acts as a scaffold during the budding of the daughter parasite and is utilized as a rigid base for the glideosome. In this study, we discovered that the phosphatase activity of GAP50 is crucial for its function in the biogenesis of the IMC. Through further phosphoproteomic analysis of parasites lacking GAP50, we identified that an NIPA family transporter is localized in the IMC. Knocking out TgNIPA1 significantly impairs the robust growth of the parasites. Additionally, expressing TgNIPA1 in a Salmonella strain lacking magnesium transporters could rescue the growth phenotype of bacteria under low magnesium conditions, indicating that it functions as an active magnesium transporter. Our results strongly suggest that the flattened vesicles of the IMC may play important roles in ion regulation in T. gondii.

Unraveling the molecular choreography of C3 to CAM transition in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum using phosphoproteomics.

Climate change and population growth threaten global freshwater resources and food security. Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a specialized photosynthetic adaptation that exhibits superior water use efficiency (WUE) compared to C3 and C4 photosynthesis. Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (common ice plant) is capable of shifting from C3 to CAM, making it a key model for investigating photosynthesis plasticity and its potential to enhance crop stress resilience. To date, the molecular mechanisms underlying this high-WUE photosynthetic transition remain largely unknown. Using mass spectrometry-based proteomics and phosphoproteomics, we quantified 4233 phosphopeptides containing 4758 phosphorylation sites, including the well-characterized Serine 11 of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase 1 (PEPC1). It is a critical phosphorylation site facilitating nocturnal CO2 fixation during CAM. Our analysis revealed many phosphorylation sites that exhibited similar diel patterns as the PEPC1 pS11, and they may be part of the regulatory network involved in CAM induction. Glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and carbon storage/breakdown modules exhibited extensive phosphorylation regulation, and vesicle trafficking could play a role in nocturnal carbon fixation. Furthermore, glycine-rich RNA-binding protein 7 (GRP7) in association with cold shock protein 1 (CSP1) emerged as a potential transcriptional switch for nocturnal stomatal opening. On the other hand, ABI5-binding protein 1 (AFP1) and oxidative stress 3 (OXS3)-activated ABA signaling, along with high CO2 signaling and suppressed blue light signaling, may contribute to diurnal stomatal closure. These findings shed light on the protein phosphorylation changes and provide valuable targets for functional characterization of their roles in CAM induction.

Phosphoproteomics identifies the DYRK1B protein kinase as a regulator of processing bodies.

Dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1B (DYRK1B) modulates the cell cycle and cell fate during development, and is deregulated in cancer and metabolic syndrome. However, only a few DYRK1B substrates have been defined, so we undertook a phosphoproteomics screen in cells that exhibit inducible DYRK1B expression. Motif analysis revealed enrichment for proline-directed serine or threonine phosphorylation sites (pSer-Pro or pThr-Pro), consistent with the consensus motif of class I DYRKs. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed enrichment of proteins involved in mRNA binding, mRNA processing and ribonucleoprotein complexes. Several processing body (PB) components, including DCP1A, PATL1 (PAT1B), EDC3 and 4E-T (also known as EIF4ENIF1), were identified as DYRK1B-inducible phosphoproteins. DYRK1B also co-immunoprecipitated with DCP1A, PAT1B, EDC3, EDC4, DDX6 and XRN1. Super-resolution microscopy demonstrated that DYRK1B co-localised with DCP1A, DCP1B and DDX6 in PBs. Expression of DYRK1B increased PB abundance, whereas inhibition, depletion or knockout of DYRK1B reduced phosphorylation of DCP1A and 4E-T and decreased PB number. Re-expression of wild-type but not kinase-dead DYRK1B restored PB numbers in knockout cells. These findings reveal novel DYRK1B targets and establish DYRK1B as a regulator of PB abundance.

Multi-omic analyses of the same sample using metabolomics, lipidomics, proteomics, phosphoproteomics, and glycoproteomics.

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based multi-omics offers powerful tools to comprehensively characterize proteins, post-translational modifications, metabolites, and lipids. However, these measurements are typically performed using separate sample preparation workflows and modality-specific liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) platforms, limiting integration and constraining applications to small amounts of sample materials, especially scarce clinical specimens. Here, we describe a unified nano-LC-MS framework that enables metabolomic, lipidomic, proteomic, phosphoproteomic, and glycoproteomic analyses from the same starting material using a single nano-LC-MS platform, with only the chromatographic conditions, acquisition methods, and enrichment procedures tailored to each omics. This integrated strategy reduces workflow complexity and sample consumption while improves analytical continuity across molecular layers. By enabling deep multi-omics characterization from the same sample, this platform provides a practical foundation for comprehensive analysis of precious clinical samples.

KINAID: an orthology-based kinase-substrate prediction and analysis tool for phosphoproteomics.

SUMMARY: Proteome-wide datasets of phosphorylated peptides, either measured in a condition of interest or in response to perturbations, are increasingly becoming available for model organisms across the evolutionary spectrum. We introduce KINAID (KINase Activity and Inference Dashboard), an interactive and extensible tool written in Dash/Plotly, that predicts kinase-substrate interactions, uncovers and displays kinases whose substrates are enriched amongst phosphorylated peptides, interactively illustrates kinase-substrate interactions, and clusters phosphopeptides targeted by similar kinases. KINAID is the first tool of its kind that can analyze data from not only Homo sapiens but also 10 additional model organisms (including Mus musculus, Danio rerio, Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae). We demonstrate KINAID's utility by applying it to recently published S. cerevisiae phosphoproteomics data. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Webserver is available at https://kinaid.princeton.edu; open-source python library is available at https://github.com/Singh-Lab/kinaid; archive is available at https://doi.org/10.24433/CO.8460107.v1.
