Pseudokinases lack kinase activity, yet they impact cellular physiology through the regulation of bona fide signaling kinases. Here the authors describe the structure of the SgK223 pseudokinase and its adjacent domains, and identify regulatory interfaces required for self-assembly and downstream signaling.
