چکیده

The effect of C-terminal tyrosine phosphorylation on molecular motions in the Src kinases Hck and c-Src is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. The SH2 and SH3 domains of the inactive kinases are seen to be tightly coupled by the connector between them, impeding activation. Dephosphorylation of the tail reduces the coupling between the SH2 and SH3 domains in the simulations, as does replacement of connector residues with glycine. A mutational analysis of c-Src expressed in Schizosaccharomyces pombe demonstrates that replacement of residues in the SH2-SH3 connector with glycine activates c-Src. The SH2-SH3 connector appears to be an inducible "snap lock" that clamps the SH2 and SH3 domains upon tail phosphorylation, but which allows flexibility when the tail is released.

Intramolecular regulatory interactions in the Src family kinase Hck probed by mutagenesis of a conserved tryptophan residue.

Intramolecular interactions between the Src homology domains (SH2 and SH3) and the catalytic domains of Src family kinases result in repression of catalytic activity. The crystal structure of the Src family kinase Hck, with its regulatory domains intact, has been solved. It predicts that a conserved residue, Trp260, at the end of the linker between the SH2 and the catalytic domains plays an imp...

Reciprocal regulation of Hck activity by phosphorylation of Tyr(527) and Tyr(416). Effect of introducing a high affinity intramolecular SH2 ligand.

The Src family tyrosine kinase Hck possesses two phosphorylation sites, Tyr(527) and Tyr(416), that affect the catalytic activity in opposite ways. When phosphorylated, Tyr(527) and residues C-terminal to it are involved in an inhibitory intramolecular interaction with the SH2 domain. However, this sequence does not conform to the sequence of the high affinity SH2 ligand, pYEEI. We mutated this...

Activation of STAT3 by the Src family kinase Hck requires a functional SH3 domain.

STAT3 is a member of a family of transcription factors with Src homology 2 (SH2) domains that are activated by tyrosine phosphorylation in response to a wide variety of cytokines and growth factors. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of STAT3 activation by the Src family of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, which have been linked to STAT activation in both normal and transformed cell type...

SH2-Catalytic Domain Linker Heterogeneity Influences Allosteric Coupling across the SFK Family

Src-family kinases (SFKs) make up a family of nine homologous multidomain tyrosine kinases whose misregulation is responsible for human disease (cancer, diabetes, inflammation, etc.). Despite overall sequence homology and identical domain architecture, differences in SH3 and SH2 regulatory domain accessibility and ability to allosterically autoinhibit the ATP-binding site have been observed for...

Reengineering the signaling properties of a Src family kinase.

Src family kinases (SFKs) are modular signaling proteins possessing SH3, SH2, and tyrosine kinase domains. The SH3 and SH2 domains of SFKs have dual roles: they regulate the activity of the kinases, and they also target SFKs to their cellular substrates. We generated a series of novel SFKs by replacing the SH2 and SH3 domains of Hck with the syntrophin PDZ domain. In some constructs, the negati...
