Dynamic tyrosine phosphorylation is a key molecular modulation for many signal transduction events. Because of their low abundance and dynamic nature in cells, the detection and enrichment of phosphotyrosine proteins has long relied on specific antibodies, such as 4G10 and P-Tyr-100. Another well-established approach for phosphotyrosine proteins recognition and enrichment is by their specific binding domains, such as Src homology 2 (SH2) domains. In this chapter, we describe a typical analytical approach for purifying specific SH2 domains, enriching specific phosphotyrosine proteins from activated cells, mass spectrometry analysis, and related data analysis.

The structural influence of the oncogenic driver mutation N642H in the STAT5B SH2 domain.

The point mutation N642H of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 5B (STAT5B) protein is associated with aggressive and drug-resistant forms of leukemia. This mutation is thought to promote cancer due to hyperactivation of STAT5B caused by increased stability of the active, parallel dimer state. However, the molecular mechanism leading to this stabilization is not well understood as there is currently no structure of the parallel dimer.

Mirror-image proteins, composed of D-amino acids, are an attractive therapeutic modality, as they exhibit high metabolic stability and lack immunogenicity. Development of mirror-image binding proteins is achieved through chemical synthesis of D-target proteins, phage display library selection of L-binders and chemical synthesis of (mirror-image) D-binders that consequently bind the physiological L-targets. Monobodies are well-established synthetic (L-)binding proteins and their small size (~90 residues) and lack of endogenous cysteine residues make them particularly accessible to chemical synthesis.

Cellular signaling networks are modulated by multiple protein-protein interaction domains that coordinate extracellular inputs and processes to regulate cellular processes. Several of these domains recognize short linear motifs, or SLiMs, which are often highly conserved and are closely regulated. One such domain, the Src homology 3 (SH3) domain, typically recognizes proline-rich SLiMs and is one of the most abundant SLiM-binding domains in the human proteome.

The Suppressor of Cytokine Signalling (SOCS) protein family play a critical role in cytokine signalling and regulation of the JAK/STAT pathway with functional consequences to the immune response. Members of this family are implicated in multiple different signalling cascades that drive autoimmune diseases and cancer, through their binding to phosphotyrosine modified proteins as well as ubiquitination activity as part of Cullin5 RING E3 ligases. Here we review the SOCS family members CISH and SOCS1-SOCS7, with a focus on their complex role in immunity.

Phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLCγ2) plays important roles in cell signaling downstream of various membrane receptors. PLCγ2 contains a multidomain inhibitory region critical for its regulation, while it has remained unclear how these domains contribute to PLCγ2 activity modulation. Here we determined three structures of human PLCγ2 in autoinhibited states, which reveal dynamic interactions at the autoinhibition interface, involving the conformational flexibility of the Src homology 3 (SH3) domain in the inhibitory region, and its previously unknown interaction with a carboxyl-terminal helical domain in the core region.
