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.
