Structural highlights
Function
[P85A_BOVIN] Binds to activated (phosphorylated) protein-Tyr kinases, through its SH2 domain, and acts as an adapter, mediating the association of the p110 catalytic unit to the plasma membrane. Necessary for the insulin-stimulated increase in glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in insulin-sensitive tissues. Plays an important role in signaling in response to FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, KITLG/SCF, KIT, PDGFRA and PDGFRB. Likewise, plays a role in ITGB2 signaling (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Understanding the specificity of Src homology 2 (SH2) domains is important because of their critical role in cell signaling. Previous genetic analysis has characterized mutants of the N-terminal src homology 2 (SH2) domain of the p85 subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). The P395S mutant exhibits a specificity for phosphopeptide binding different from that of the wild-type SH2. The P395S mutant has an increased affinity for the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFr) compared to polyomavirus middle T antigen (MT). Solution structures of the P395S mutant of the p85 N-SH2 alone and complexed to a PDGFr phosphopeptide were determined to explain the change in specificity. Chemical shift perturbations caused by different peptides were compared for mutant and wild-type structures. The results show that the single P395S mutation has broad effects on the structure. Furthermore, they provide a rationale for the observed changes in binding preference.
