Binding of a phosphotyrosine-containing protein to an SH2 domain may lead to either activation or inactivation of the SH2-containing protein, depending on the types of interactions formed between the SH2 domain and other domains of the enzyme.
SH2 (Src Homology 2) domains are among the best characterized and most studied protein-protein interaction (PPIs) modules able to bind and recognize sequences presenting a phosphorylated tyrosine. This post-translational modification is a key ...
We update the approaches used to target the SH2 domains and techniques applied in drug discovery, highlighting inhibitors that have reached clinical development.
Update on Structure and Function of SH2 Domains: Mechanisms and ... - MDPI
SH2 domains are links in the communication chains known as signal transduction pathways. These pathways convert an external stimulus, like a hormone or growth factor, into a specific response, such as cell division.
Src-homology 2 (SH2) domains are modules of approximately 100 amino acids that bind to specific phospho (pY)-containing peptide motifs. Conventional SH2 domains have a conserved pocket that recognizes pY, and a more variable pocket that binds 3-6 residues C-terminal to the pY to confer specificity.
