title: 3-Phosphohistidine cannot replace phosphotyrosine in high-affinity binding to phosphotyrosine binding or Src homology 2 domains.
abstract: Posttranslational phosphorylation of proteins is an important event in many cellular processes. Phosphorylated tyrosine residues can serve as association sites for other proteins in signal transduction cascades of tyrosine kinase receptors. Formation of phosphohistidine residues in proteins has been found in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Furthermore, it has been suggested that phosphohistidine might substitute for phosphotyrosine in conferring high-affinity binding to proteins involved in signal transduction. We have analyzed the ability of 3-phosphohistidine to associate with the known phosphotyrosine-specific phosphotyrosine binding and src homology 2 protein domains. From our binding studies using synthetic peptides, we conclude that 3-phosphohistidine cannot replace phosphotyrosine in conferring high-affinity binding to the phosphotyrosine binding domain of shc or the src homology 2 domain of phospholipase C-gamma1.
