Abstract

The APS, SH2-B and LNK proteins are adapters that activate and modulate receptor tyrosine kinase and JAK/STAT signaling. We now show that a conserved N-terminal domain mediates APS homodimerization. We determined the crystal structure of the dimerization domain at a resolution of 1.7 A using bromide ion MAD phasing. Each molecule contributes two helices to a compact four-helix bundle having a bisecting-U topology. Its most conspicuous feature is a stack of interdigitated phenylalanine side chains at the domain core. These residues create a new motif we refer to as a 'phenylalanine zipper,' which is critical to dimerization. A newly developed bridging yeast tri-hybrid assay showed that APS dimerizes JAK2, insulin receptor and IGF1 receptor kinases using its SH2 and dimerization domains. Dimerization via the phenylalanine zipper domain provides a mechanism for activating and modulating tyrosine kinase activity even in the absence of extracellular ligands.

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected. Discover the latest research on autoimmune polyendocrinopathies here.

Cell Signaling by Tyrosine Kinases

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are the high-affinity cell surface receptors for many polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. RTKs have been shown not only to be key regulators of normal cellular processes but also to have a critical role in the development and progression of many types of cancer. Discover the latest research on cell signaling and RTK here.
