What does 'S 368 phosphorylation' mean?
I'm looking at a particular molecule on NCI's PID website, and down beneath it says 'S 368 phosphorylation' under post-translational modifications.
My question is, what does this mean? I looked up the protein sequence for this molecule (RELB_HUMAN) and the 368th amino acid is 'D' or aspartic acid, as opposed to 'S' / Serine.
I was expecting to find 'S' at position 368 in the sequence. So I suppose I don't know what the phrase means in the first place. I was curious if anyone on here could help me understand.

Hello rolyata47!
We believe that this post does not fit the main topic of this site.
From Devon: This is more appropriate for a molecular biology forum. BTW, check the mouse sequence (the human coordinate is actually S390). It's often the case that people refer to positions in mouse proteins even if they're working with human proteins and the position is different. Yes, this can be quite confusing if you're unfamiliar with the protein in question.
For this reason we have closed your question. This allows us to keep the site focused on the topics that the community can help with.
If you disagree please tell us why in a reply below, we'll be happy to talk about it.
Cheers!
