Affinity, specificity, and kinetics of the interaction of the SHC phosphotyrosine binding domain with asparagine-X-X-phosphotyrosine motifs of growth factor receptors.
The phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain specifically binds to tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, but differs in structure and mechanism of action from the SH2 domain family. We quantitated the affinity, specificity, and kinetics of the interaction of the SHC PTB domain with a sequence motif, asparagine-X-X-phosphotyrosine (NXX(pY)), found in several receptor tyrosine kinases and oncogenic proteins. PTB domain-mediated interaction with the NXX(pY) motif of c-ErbB2 was characterized by similar overall affinity but slower kinetics than that reported for SH2 domains. This suggested that unlike SH2 domains, PTB domains may not rapidly exchange among associated proteins. Furthermore, when directly and quantitatively compared, PTB domain binding specificity did not significantly overlap with a panel of seven SH2 domains. Thus, signaling pathways involving PTB and SH2 domain-mediated interactions can be regulated separately. Finally, our data define the minimal SHC PTB domain binding motif as NXX(pY), not NPX(pY) as suggested by other authors, and suggest a high affinity motif, hydrophobic residue-(D/E)-N-X-X-pY-(W/F), found in the Trk and ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase families. We conclude that PTB domains mediate specific protein-protein interactions independent from those mediated by SH2 domains.
