The mechanisms guiding the substrate specificity of kinases are still poorly understood. Two recent reports provide further insights into how the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase recognizes targets by identifying a new consensus motif that requires a Src-mediated priming phosphorylation.
