چکیده

Sixteen-amino-acid-long peptides, corresponding to the optimal ligand preferences of the Src homology 3 (SH3) domains of Abl, Cortactin, Crk, p53BP2, and Src, were fused to the N-terminus of Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase (AP). These secreted fusion proteins have been used as one-step detection probes of peptide ligand-SH3 domain interactions on microtiter plates and membranes. The binding of both the class I and II SH3 ligand-AP fusion proteins to their targets is robust and specific in comparison to chemically synthesized biotinylated peptides, used either in monovalent or tetravalent formats. p53BP2 and Cortactin SH3 ligand-AP fusions have been used to screen a mouse embryo lambda cDNA expression library and resulted in the cloning of p53BP2 and several known proteins with SH3 domains similar to that of Cortactin, respectively. In addition, the approximately 60-amino-acid-long SH3 domains of Src and Abl were fused to AP and the resulting fusion proteins were found to bind specifically to their respective peptide ligands in microtiter plates and proteins containing proline-rich regions in screens of a lambda cDNA expression library. Thus, SH3 peptide ligand- and SH3 domain-AP fusion proteins are convenient and sensitive reagents for examining the specificity of SH3 domain-ligand interactions, identifying potentially interacting proteins, and establishing high-throughput screens of combinatorial chemical libraries.

Identification of Src, Fyn, and Lyn SH3-binding proteins: implications for a function of SH3 domains.

Src homology 3 (SH3) domains mediate protein-protein interactions necessary for the coupling of cellular proteins involved in intracellular signal transduction. We previously established solution-binding conditions that allow affinity isolation of Src SH3-binding proteins from cellular extracts (Z. Weng, J. A. Taylor, C. E. Turner, J. S. Brugge, and C. Seidel-Dugan, J. Biol. Chem. 268:14956-149...

Affinity Capillary Electrophoresis: Insights into the Binding of SH3 Domains by Peptides Derived from an SIIS-Binding Protein

Src Homology III (SHB) domains are small (55-?0 amino acids) receptor domains that are found in many signaling proteins and are involved in intracellular signaling events.t2 For example, the SH3 domain in the adaptor protein GRB-2 facilitates the coupling of growth factor receptors to an essential switch in growth-related signaling pathways-the guanine nucleotide binding protein Ras.3 Another e...

Ligand binding to inhibitory killer cell Ig-like receptors induce colocalization with Src homology domain 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 and interruption of ongoing activation signals.

Interaction of NK cells with target cells leads to formation of an immunological synapse (IS) at the contact site. NK cells form two distinctly different IS, the inhibitory NK cell IS (NKIS) and the cytolytic NKIS. Cognate ligand binding is sufficient to induce clustering of inhibitory killer cell Ig-like receptors (KIR) and phosphorylation of both the receptor and the phosphatase Src homology ...

Phage display selection of ligand residues important for Src homology 3 domain binding specificity.

The Src homology 3 (SH3) domain is a 50-aa modular unit present in many cellular proteins involved in intracellular signal transduction. It functions to direct protein-protein interactions through the recognition of proline-rich motifs on associated proteins. SH3 domains are important regulatory elements that have been demonstrated to specify distinct regulatory pathways important for cell grow...
