    • To develop a method for specific and irreversible kinase inhibition.
    • To quantify the minimum kinase activity necessary for downstream signaling.

    Main Methods:

    • Introduction of two point mutations into the ATP-binding pockets of target kinases.
    • Assessment of enzyme inhibition and downstream signaling effects.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved specific and irreversible inhibition of kinases via engineered mutations.
    • Quantified the precise levels of kinase activity required for effective downstream signal transduction.

    Conclusions:

    • Engineered kinase mutations offer a precise tool for studying enzyme function.
    • This approach elucidates the quantitative requirements of kinase activity in signaling.
