SH3GLB, a new endophilin-related protein family featuring an SH3 domain   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
A new cDNA encoding a protein of 362 amino acids designated SH3GLB1, for SH3 domain GRB2-like endophilin B1, was identified in a yeast two-hybrid screen devoted to the identification of new partners interacting with the apoptosis inducer Bax. SH3GLB1 shows strong similarities to the SH3 domain-containing proteins of the endophilin family and presumably represents the human homologue of the potential Caenorhabditis elegans SH3 containing-protein identified by systematic translation of the C. elegans genome (GenBank Accession No. U46675). Reversing prey to bait in the yeast screen, a second protein, SH3GLB2, of 395 amino acids showing 65% identity to SH3GLB1 was identified as an interacting partner of SH3GLB1. The discovery of SH3GLB1 itself in the screening with SH3GLB1 as a bait and further mapping experiments demonstrated that a core coiled-coil-type region is required for the formation of SH3GLB homo- and/or heterodimers, whereas the SH3 domain is not involved in these interactions. Interestingly, the similarities with the endophilin proteins cover the entire sequence of the SH3GLB family, suggesting a common fold and presumably a common mode of action. Furthermore, SH3GLB members colocalize to the cytoplasmic compartment of the cell together with Bax and are excluded from the nucleus. SH3GLB1 and SH3GLB2 do not significantly influence the onset and time course of Bax-mediated apoptosis in HeLa or 293T cells.  相似文献

Signalling through SH2 and SH3 domains   总被引:46,自引:0,他引:46  
In 1986, Pawson's group recognized a region of homology between two oncogenic tyrosine kinases that lay outside the catalytic domain. They termed this the Src homology 2, or SH2, domain. In the ensuing years, SH2 domains have been found in an impressive variety of proteins, as has a second region of homology, inevitably termed SH3. These domains appear to mediate controlled protein-protein interactions. Many proteins that contain SH2 and SH3 domains are involved in signal transduction, suggesting a new paradigm for regulation of intracellular signalling pathways.  相似文献

The core of the Abelson tyrosine kinase (c-Abl) is structurally similar to Src-family kinases where SH3 and SH2 domains pack against the backside of the kinase domain in the down-regulated conformation. Both kinase families depend upon intramolecular association of SH3 with the linker joining the SH2 and kinase domains for suppression of kinase activity. Hydrogen deuterium exchange (HX) and mass spectrometry (MS) were used to probe intramolecular interaction of the c-Abl SH3 domain with the linker in recombinant constructs lacking the kinase domain. Under physiological conditions, the c-Abl SH3 domain undergoes partial unfolding, which is stabilized by ligand binding, providing a unique assay for SH3:linker interaction in solution. Using this approach, we observed dynamic association of the SH3 domain with the linker in the absence of the kinase domain. Truncation of the linker before W254 completely prevented cis-interaction with SH3, while constructs containing amino acids past this point showed SH3:linker interactions. The observation that the Abl linker sequence exhibits SH3-binding activity in the absence of the kinase domain is unique to Abl and was not observed with Src-family kinases. These results suggest that SH3:linker interactions may have a more prominent role in Abl regulation than in Src kinases, where the down-regulated conformation is further stabilized by a second intramolecular interaction between the C-terminal tail and the SH2 domain.  相似文献

Using 26 restriction endonucleases, a cleavage site survey was undertaken for DNAs of several unrelated Streptomyces phages SH3, SH5, SH10 and SH13. Only EcoRI was found to produce single cleavage in SH3 and SH10 DNA. The complete maps were prepared for the 2, 9 and 11 fragments of SH10 DNA, as generated by EcoRI, KpnI and BglII, respectively. The evidence is presented that SH10 DNA contains cohesive ends. Moreover, a clearplaque mutant of SH10 was shown to contain a deletion of 790 bp in the right part of the genome, including two KpnI sites.  相似文献

Summary Some physico-chemical properties of the DNAs released from the actinophages SH3, SH10, SH11, and SH12 are described. The four phage DNAs have a linear double-stranded secondary structure and are unique with respect to their high G·C contents which, from melting studies and buoyant density experiments, were found to be in the range of 68–73 mol-%. The DNA molecular weights were determined by sedimentation velocity experiments and by electron microscopic length measurements, the mean values of the two corresponding data sets being 34.0·106 (SH3), 26.7·106 (SH10), 26.1·106 (SH11), and 28.7·106 (SH12) with a mean relative error of ±5%. From different observations it was concluded that SH10 DNA, and possibly also SH11 and SH12 DNA, have cohesive ends and can undergo intramolecular or intermolecular association to form ring-like monomers or linear and ring-like multimers. Cleavage of the DNAs of SH3, SH10, SH11, and SH12 by EcoRI restriction endonuclease delivered two, one, zero, and two cleavage sites, respectively, and by BamHI restriction endonuclease eight, zero, zero, and zero cleavage sites, respectively.  相似文献

The process generally termed signal transduction involves the coordinated relay of information from extracellular cues to intracellular effectors, subsequently leading to a specified cellular response. The formation of multimeric protein complexes is a critical step in the activation of most intracellular signal transduction cascades. In many cases, these processes are initiated by a family of molecules consisting of protein association motifs known as src homology 2 and 3 (SH2 and SH3) domains. This review focuses on a group of proteins within this family that lack intrinsic enzymatic functions and consist almost entirely of SH2 and SH3 domains. Termed “adaptors,” these proteins serve to physically bridge activated cell surface receptors to various intracellular signal transduction pathways. Here, I briefly summarize current knowledge concerning the various adaptor proteins and place a particular emphasis on Nck. Various data are discussed which collectively support a role for Nck in the regulation of multiple intracellular signaling events. BioEssays 20:913–921, 1998. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.  相似文献

SH2 and SH3 adapter proteins connect cell surface tyrosine kinases to intracellular signaling networks. For instance, the SH3-SH2-SH3 adapter Grb2 links receptor tyrosine kinases to the Ras pathway. Nck, composed of three SH3 domains and one SH2 domain, represents a two-gene (alpha and beta) family in mammals. Nckalpha and Nckbeta are expressed in the same cells and appear to have distinct signaling specificity. Studies show that Nck plays a role in cell mitogenesis and morphogenesis. The former uses Ras-dependent and Ras-independent pathways. The latter appears to coordinate with the Cdc42/Rac>PAK1/WASp>actin cytoskeleton pathway. Understanding the specificity of Nckalpha and Nckbeta signal transduction will provide answers for the previously often conflicting observations.  相似文献

Domain database is essential for domain property research. Eliminating redundant information in database query is very important for database quality. Here we report the manual construction of a non-redundant human SH2 domain database. There are 119 human SH2 domains in 110 SH2-containing proteins. Human SH2s were aligned with ClustalX, and a homologous tree was generated. In this tree, proteins with similar known function were classified into the same group. Some proteins in the same group have been reported to have similar binding motifs experimentally. The tree might provide clues about possible functions of hypothetical proteins for further experimental verification.  相似文献

We have used a bifunctional spin label (BSL) to cross-link Cys707 (SH1) and Cys697 (SH2) in the catalytic domain of myosin subfragment 1 (S1). BSL induces the same weakened ATPase activity and actin-binding affinity that is observed when SH1 and SH2 are cross-linked with pPDM, which traps an analog of the post-hydrolysis state A·M·ADP·P. Electron paramagnetic resonance showed that BSL reports the global orientation and dynamics of S1. When bound to actin in oriented muscle fibers in the absence of ATP, BSL-S1 showed almost complete orientational disorder, as reported previously for the weakly bound A·M·ADP. In contrast, helical order is observed for the strongly bound state A·M. Saturation transfer electron paramagnetic resonance showed that the disorder of cross-linked S1 on actin is nearly static on the microsecond timescale, at least 30 times slower than that of A·M·ADP. We conclude that cross-linked S1 exhibits rotational disorder comparable to that of A·M·ADP, slow rotational mobility comparable to that of A·M, and intermediate actin affinity. These results support the hypothesis that the catalytic domain of myosin is orientationally disordered on actin in a post-hydrolysis state in the early stages of force generation.  相似文献

Many cellular signaling proteins contain SH3 (Src homology 3) domains that mediate protein interactions via specific proline-containing peptides. Unlike SH2 domains, whose interactions with tyrosine-containing peptides are promoted by phosphorylation of the SH2 binding site, the regulatory mechanism for SH3 interactions is unclear. p120 RasGAP (GTPase-activating protein), which contains an SH3 domain flanked by two SH2 domains, forms an abundant SH2-mediated complex with p190 RhoGAP in cells expressing activated tyrosine kinases. We have identified two closely linked tyrosine-containing peptides in p190 that bind simultaneously to the RasGAP SH2 domains upon p190 phosphorylation. This interaction is expected to bring the two SH2 domains into close proximity. Consequently, RasGAP undergoes a conformational change that results in a 100-fold increase in the accessibility of the target binding surface of its SH3 domain. These results indicate that the tandem arrangement of SH2 and SH3 domains found in a variety of cellular signaling proteins can provide a conformational mechanism for regulating SH3-dependent interactions through tyrosine phosphorylation. In addition, it appears that the role of p190 in the RasGAP signaling complex is to promote additional protein interactions with RasGAP via its SH3 domain.  相似文献

SAP (or SH2D1A), an adaptor-like molecule expressed in immune cells, is composed almost exclusively of a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain. In humans, SAP is mutated and either absent or non-functional in X-linked lymphoproliferative (XLP) syndrome, a disease characterized by an inappropriate response to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Through its SH2 domain, SAP associates with tyrosines in the cytoplasmic domain of the SLAM family of immune cell receptors, and is absolutely required for the function of these receptors. This property results from the ability of SAP to promote the selective recruitment and activation of FynT, a cytoplasmic Src-related protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). Here, we demonstrate that SAP operates in this pathway by binding to the SH3 domain of FynT, through a second region in the SAP SH2 domain distinct from the phosphotyrosine-binding motif. We demonstrate that this interaction is essential for SAP-mediated signalling in T cells, and for the capacity of SAP to modulate immune cell function. These observations characterize a biologically important signalling mechanism in which an adaptor molecule composed only of an SH2 domain links a receptor devoid of intrinsic catalytic activity to the kinase required for its function.  相似文献

SH3 domains are a conserved feature of many nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinases, such as Hck, and often function in substrate recruitment and regulation of kinase activity. SH3 domains modulate kinase activity by binding to polyproline helices (PPII helix) either intramolecularly or in target proteins. The preponderance of bimolecular and distal interactions between SH3 domains and PPII helices led us to investigate whether proximal placement of a PPII helix relative to an SH3 domain would result in tight, intramolecular binding. We have fused the PPII helix region of human GAP to the C-terminus of Hck SH3 and expressed the recombinant fusion protein in Eschericheria coli. The fusion protein, SH3Hck: PPIIhGAP, folded spontaneously into a structure in which the PPII helix was bound intramolecularly to the hydrophobic crevice of the SH3 domain. The SH3Hck: PPIIhGAP fusion protein is useful for investigating SH3: PPII helix interactions, for studying concepts in protein folding and design, and may represent a protein structural motif that is widely distributed in nature.  相似文献

SH2/SH3 domain-containing adaptor proteins play a critical role in regulating tyrosine kinase signalling pathways. The major function of these adaptors, such as Grb2, Nck, and Crk, is to recruit proline-rich effector molecules to tyrosine-phosphorylated kinases or their substrates. In recent years dozens of novel proteins have emerged that are capable of associating with the SH2 and the SH3 domains of adaptors. In this review, the author attempts to summarise these novel binding partners of Grb2, Nck, and Crk, and to discuss current controversies regarding function and regulation of protein multicomplexes held together by SH2/SH3 adaptor molecules at the plasma membrane.  相似文献

Recruitment of cellular signaling proteins by the CD3 polypeptides of the TCR complex mediates T cell activation. We have screened a human Src homology 3 (SH3) domain phage display library for proteins that can bind to the proline-rich region of CD3epsilon. This screening identified Eps8L1 (epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate 8-like 1) together with the N-terminal SH3 domain of Nck1 and Nck2 as its preferred SH3 partners. Studies with recombinant proteins confirmed strong binding of CD3epsilon to Eps8L1 and Nck SH3 domains. CD3epsilon bound well also to Eps8 and Eps8L3, and modestly to Eps8L2, but not detectably to other SH3 domains tested. Interestingly, binding of Nck and Eps8L1 SH3 domains was mapped to a PxxDY motif that shared its tyrosine residue (Y166) with the ITAM of CD3epsilon. Phosphorylation of this residue abolished binding of Eps/Nck SH3 domains in peptide spot filter assays, as well as in cells cotransfected with a dominantly active Lck kinase. TCR ligation-induced binding and phosphorylation-dependent loss of binding were also demonstrated between Eps8L1 and endogenous CD3epsilon in Jurkat T cells. Thus, phosphorylation of Y166 serves as a molecular switch during T cell activation that determines the capacity of CD3epsilon to interact with either SH3 or SH2 domain-containing proteins.  相似文献
