Neurotrophins are essential for the survival and differentiation of neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The binding of neurotrophins to their Trk receptors induces autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues and activation of several signaling components. However, the downstream signaling cascades remain to be fully elucidated. Here we describe molecular cloning of human SH2-B alpha, PH and SH2-domain-containing adaptor protein, as a TrkB binding protein, and how SH2-B alpha associate with the cytoplasmic domain of TrkB at phosphorylated tyrosine residues in the kinase activation loop. There was no distinct inhibitory or inducing effect on kinase activity detected by either a full-length or an SH2 domain of SH2-B alpha in vitro, even though the regulation mechanism of the activation loop on tyrosine kinase activity has been described. In addition to SH2-B alpha, the expression of three SH2-B alternative splice variants, SH2-B beta, gamma and delta, was detected in human cell lines. These splicing variants have unique carboxyl-terminal amino acid sequences due to insertion sequences as well as reading frameshifts.

Background And Purpose: Our previous studies have shown that Src homology 2 (SH2) B adaptor protein 1 (SH2B1) plays an important role in cardiac hypertrophy, but the specific mechanism remains to be studied. Through bioinformatics and related research, it is found that miR-14 2-3 p is closely related to SH2B1. Exploring the relationship between miR-14 2-3 p and gene SH2B1 expression is beneficial for the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy.

We have previously reported rare variants in sarcoma (Src) homology 2 (SH2) B adaptor protein 1 (SH2B1) in individuals with obesity, insulin resistance, and maladaptive behavior. Here, we identify 4 additional SH2B1 variants by sequencing 500 individuals with severe early-onset obesity. SH2B1 has 4 alternatively spliced isoforms.

The positive regulatory role of PSM/SH2-B downstream of various mitogenic receptor tyrosine kinases or gene disruption experiments in mice support a role of PSM in the regulation of insulin action. Here, four alternative PSM splice variants and individual functional domains were compared for their role in the regulation of specific metabolic insulin responses. We found that individual PSM variants in 3T3-L1 adipocytes potentiated insulin-mediated glucose and amino acid transport, glycogenesis, lipogenesis, and key components in the metabolic insulin response including p70 S6 kinase, glycogen synthase, glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3), Akt, Cbl, and IRS-1.

SH2B1 (previously named SH2-B), a cytoplasmic adaptor protein, binds via its Src homology 2 (SH2) domain to a variety of protein tyrosine kinases, including JAK2 and the insulin receptor. SH2B1-deficient mice are obese and diabetic. Here we demonstrated that multiple isoforms of SH2B1 (alpha, beta, gamma, and/or delta) were expressed in numerous tissues, including the brain, hypothalamus, liver, muscle, adipose tissue, heart, and pancreas.

Lnk, with APS and SH2-B (Src homology 2-B), belongs to a family of SH2-containing proteins with potential adaptor functions. Lnk regulates growth factor and cytokine receptor-mediated pathways implicated in lymphoid, myeloid, and platelet homeostasis. We have previously shown that Lnk is expressed and up-regulated in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) in response to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha).
