Structure of the complex between NSP3 (SHEP1) and p130Cas
Structural highlights
Function[SH2D3_HUMAN] Eph receptor-binding protein which may be a positive regulator of TCR signaling. Binding to BCAR1 is required to induce membrane ruffling and promote EGF-dependent cell migration (By similarity). [BCAR1_HUMAN] Docking protein which plays a central coordinating role for tyrosine kinase-based signaling related to cell adhesion. Implicated in induction of cell migration. Overexpression confers antiestrogen resistance on breast cancer cells.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedMembers of the novel SH2-containing protein (NSP) and Crk-associated substrate (Cas) protein families form multidomain signaling platforms that mediate cell migration and invasion through a collection of distinct signaling motifs. Members of each family interact via their respective C-terminal domains, but the mechanism of this association has remained enigmatic. Here we present the crystal structures of the C-terminal domain from the NSP protein BCAR3 and the complex of NSP3 with p130Cas. BCAR3 adopts the Cdc25-homology fold of Ras GTPase exchange factors, but it has a 'closed' conformation incapable of enzymatic activity. The structure of the NSP3-p130Cas complex reveals that this closed conformation is instrumental for interaction of NSP proteins with a focal adhesion-targeting domain present in Cas proteins. This enzyme-to-adaptor conversion enables high-affinity, yet promiscuous, interactions between NSP and Cas proteins and represents an unprecedented mechanistic paradigm linking cellular signaling networks. NSP-Cas protein structures reveal a promiscuous interaction module in cell signaling.,Mace PD, Wallez Y, Dobaczewska MK, Lee JJ, Robinson H, Pasquale EB, Riedl SJ Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2011 Nov 13. doi: 10.1038/nsmb.2152.
