Structure of a helically extended SH3 domain of the T cell adapter protein ADAP
Structural highlights
Function[FYB_HUMAN] Acts as an adapter protein of the FYN and LCP2 signaling cascades in T-cells. Modulates the expression of interleukin-2 (IL-2). Involved in platelet activation. Prevents the degradation of SKAP1 and SKAP2. May play a role in linking T-cell signaling to remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton.[1] [2] [3] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe adapter protein ADAP (FYB/SLAP-130) provides a critical link between T cell receptor (TCR) signaling and cell adhesion via the activation of integrins. The C-terminal 70 residues of ADAP show homology to SH3 domains; however, conserved residues of the fold are absent. An alignment and annotation of this domain has therefore been elusive. We have solved the three-dimensional structure of the ADAP C-terminal domain by NMR spectroscopy and show that it represents an altered SH3 domain fold. An N-terminal, amphipathic helix makes extensive contacts to residues of the regular SH3 domain fold, and thereby a composite surface with unusual surface properties is created. We propose this SH3 domain variant to be classified as a helically extended SH3 domain (hSH3 domain) and show that the ADAP-hSH3 domain can no longer bind conventional proline-rich peptides.
