Autoinhibited intact human ZAP-70
Overview
ZAP-70, a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase required for T cell antigen receptor, signaling, is controlled by a regulatory segment that includes a tandem, SH2 unit responsible for binding to immunoreceptor tyrosine-based, activation motifs (ITAMs). The crystal structure of autoinhibited ZAP-70, reveals that the inactive kinase domain adopts a conformation similar to, that of cyclin-dependent kinases and Src kinases. The autoinhibitory, mechanism of ZAP-70 is, however, distinct and involves interactions, between the regulatory segment and the hinge region of the kinase domain, that reduce its flexibility. Two tyrosine residues in the SH2-kinase, linker that activate ZAP-70 when phosphorylated are involved in, aromatic-aromatic interactions that connect the linker to the kinase, domain. These interactions are inconsistent with ITAM binding, suggesting, that destabilization of this autoinhibited ZAP-70 conformation is the, first step in kinase activation.
