Computational prediction of phosphorylation sites with their cognate protein kinases (PKs) is greatly helpful for further experimental design. Although ~10 online predictors were developed, the PK classification and control of false positive rate (FPR ) were not well addressed. Here we adopted a well-established rule to classify PKs into a hierarchical structure with four levels. Also, we developed a simple approach to estimate the theoretically maximal FPRs. Then GPS 2.0 (Group-based Prediction System , ver 2.0 ) software was implemented in JAVA and could predict kinase-specific phosphorylation sites for 408 human PKs in hierarchy. As an application, we performed a large-scale prediction of >13,000 mammalian phosphorylation sites with high performances. In addition, we also provided a proteome-wide prediction of Aurora-B specific substrates including protein-protein interaction information. As the first stand-alone software for computational phosphorylation, GPS 2.0 will be an excellent tool for further experimental consideration and construction of phosphorylation networks.
