The Hallmark of AGC Kinase Functional Divergence is Its C-terminal Tail, a Cis-acting Regulatory Module

An elegant dissection of how the C-terminal tail (C-tail) in AGC kinases serves as a cis-acting regulatory module, driving functional divergence from other kinase families. Through conserved interactions and structural specialization, the C-tail orchestrates key regulatory processes, acting as a unique hallmark of AGC kinases.
