RESUMO
Protein phosphatases and kinases play critical roles in a host of biological processes and diseases via the removal and addition of phosphoryl groups. While kinases have been extensively studied for decades, recent findings regarding the specificity and activities of phosphatases have generated an increased interest in targeting phosphatases for pharmaceutical development. This increased focus has created a need for methods to visualize this important class of proteins within the context of the entire phosphatase protein family. Here, we present CoralP, an interactive web application for the generation of customizable, publication-quality representations of human phosphatome data. Phosphatase attributes can be encoded through edge colors, node colors, and node sizes. CoralP is the first and currently the only tool designed for phosphatome visualization and should be of great use to the signaling community.
