Protein cis-regulatory elements (CREs) are regions that modulate the activity of a protein through intramolecular interactions. Kinases, pivotal enzymes in numerous biological processes, often undergo regulatory control via inhibitory interactions in cis. This study delves into the mechanisms of cis regulation in kinases mediated by CREs, employing a combined structural and sequence analysis. To accomplish this, we curated an extensive dataset of kinases featuring annotated CREs, organized …
