CAS is a docking protein downstream of the proto-oncogene Src with a role in invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. The CAS SH3 domain is indispensable for CAS-mediated signaling, but structural aspects of CAS SH3 ligand binding and regulation are not well understood. Here, we identified the consensus CAS SH3 binding motif and structurally characterized the CAS SH3 domain in complex with ligand. We revealed the requirement for an uncommon centrally localized lysine residue at position +2 of CAS SH3 ligands and two rather dissimilar optional anchoring residues, leucine and arginine, at position +5. We further expanded the knowledge of CAS SH3 ligand binding regulation by manipulating tyrosine 12 phosphorylation and confirmed the negative role of this phosphorylation on CAS SH3 ligand binding. Finally, by exploiting the newly identified binding requirements of the CAS SH3 domain, we predicted and experimentally verified two novel CAS SH3 binding partners, DOK7 and GLIS2.

Understanding the early stages of human congenital myopathies is critical for proposing strategies for improving musculoskeletal muscle performance, such as restoring the functional integrity of the cytoskeleton. SH3 and cysteine-rich domain 3 (STAC3) are proteins involved in nutrient regulation and are an essential component of the excitation-contraction (EC) coupling machinery for Ca releasing. A mutation in STAC3 causes debilitating Native American Myopathy (NAM) in humans, while loss of this gene in mice and zebrafish (ZF) results in premature death.

Plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) sense pathogen effectors and activate effector-triggered immunity (ETI). Many plant NLRs form pairs with other NLRs to recognize effectors and initiate ETI. PIRICULARIA ORYZAE RESISTANCE IN BL1 (Pib), an NLR protein in rice (Oryza sativa), activates resistance by recognizing the rice blast effector AvrPib.

Article Synopsis
- BTK is essential for B-cell survival, and its inhibitors are effective treatments for B-cell malignancies, with phosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues playing key roles in its activity.
- Through genetic engineering, researchers created mice with a Y223F mutation to investigate the role of the Y223 phosphorylation site, but found no significant differences in immune responses compared to wild-type mice.
- These results challenge the long-standing belief that Y223 phosphorylation is critical for BTK function, indicating it may not be necessary for the enzyme's activity.

Alternative splicing can often result in the expression of distinct protein isoforms from a single gene, with specific composition and properties. SH3-containing GRB2-like protein 3-interacting protein 1 (Sgip1) is a brain-enriched protein that regulates clathrin-mediated endocytosis and interferes with the internalization of cannabinoid receptor 1. Several research groups have studied the physiological importance of Sgip1, and four Sgip1 protein isoforms have been described to date, while the NCBI Gene database predicts the expression of 20 splice variants from the Sgip1 gene in mice.

Article Synopsis
- SASH1 is a gene that helps fight cancer and is important for brain development, especially in zebrafish embryos.
- Scientists used special tools to reduce SASH1 in zebrafish and noticed changes in the brain, like fewer immune cells and messy arrangements of support cells.
- The study showed that SASH1 is crucial for how brain support cells move and organize during early brain growth, and adding human SASH1 could fix some of the problems caused by lowering SASH1 in zebrafish.
