in out Lipid bilayer of plasma membrane Antigen recognition Signal transduction (contains one or more ITAMs) + - Src-family tyrosine kinase reversibly associated with receptor
Consensus ITAM (amino acid) ….---.asp tyr leu tyr leu.---…. glu ile ile The one letter code is usually used: xx(D/E)xxYxx(L/I)xxxxxxxYxx(L/I) These tyrosines are phosphorylated by various src family kinases upon recognition receptor ligation
Src-family tyrosine kinases Unique region reversibly associates with certain membrane receptors. Differs among family members. SH3 motif involved in binding to many proteins that carry a proline rich motif (e.g. P-X-X-P). SH2 motif involved in binding to phospho-tyrosines in certain sequence contexts, including phosphorylated ITAMs. Kinase domain motif catalyzes tyrosine phosphorylation. Myristylation/palmitylation sites present in many family members, promotes association with membranes and membrane “rafts”. (e.g. CH 3 (CH) 12 CONH-Glycine..)
