Structural highlights
DiseaseCBL_HUMAN Defects in CBL are the cause of Noonan syndrome-like disorder with or without juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (NSLL) [MIM:613563. A syndrome characterized by a phenotype reminiscent of Noonan syndrome. Clinical features are highly variable, including facial dysmorphism, short neck, developmental delay, hyperextensible joints and thorax abnormalities with widely spaced nipples. The facial features consist of triangular face with hypertelorism, large low-set ears, ptosis, and flat nasal bridge. Some patients manifest cardiac defects.[1] FunctionCBL_HUMAN Adapter protein that functions as a negative regulator of many signaling pathways that are triggered by activation of cell surface receptors. Acts as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase, which accepts ubiquitin from specific E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, and then transfers it to substrates promoting their degradation by the proteasome. Recognizes activated receptor tyrosine kinases, including KIT, FLT1, FGFR1, FGFR2, PDGFRA, PDGFRB, EGFR, CSF1R, EPHA8 and KDR and terminates signaling. Recognizes membrane-bound HCK and other kinases of the SRC family and mediates their ubiquitination and degradation. Participates in signal transduction in hematopoietic cells. Plays an important role in the regulation of osteoblast differentiation and apoptosis. Essential for osteoclastic bone resorption. The Tyr-731 phosphorylated form induces the activation and recruitment of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase to the cell membrane in a signaling pathway that is critical for osteoclast function.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe Cbl adapter proteins typically function to down-regulate activated protein tyrosine kinases and other signaling proteins by coupling them to the ubiquitination machinery for degradation by the proteasome. Cbl proteins bind to specific tyrosine-phosphorylated sequences in target proteins via the tyrosine kinase-binding (TKB) domain, which comprises a four-helix bundle, an EF-hand calcium-binding domain, and a non-conventional Src homology-2 domain. The previously derived consensus sequence for phosphotyrosine recognition by the Cbl TKB domain is NXpY(S/T)XXP (X denotes lesser residue preference), wherein specificity is conferred primarily by residues C-terminal to the phosphotyrosine. Cbl is recruited to and phosphorylated by the insulin receptor in adipose cells through the adapter protein APS. APS is phosphorylated by the insulin receptor on a C-terminal tyrosine residue, which then serves as a binding site for the Cbl TKB domain. Using x-ray crystallography, site-directed mutagenesis, and calorimetric studies, we have characterized the interaction between the Cbl TKB domain and the Cbl recruitment site in APS, which contains a sequence motif, RA(V/I)XNQpY(S/T), that is conserved in the related adapter proteins SH2-B and Lnk. These studies reveal a novel mode of phosphopeptide interaction with the Cbl TKB domain, in which N-terminal residues distal to the phosphotyrosine directly contact residues of the four-helix bundle of the TKB domain.
