title: Structures of Src-family tyrosine kinases.
abstract: The crystal structures of three Src-family tyrosine kinases have been determined recently. The structure of the catalytic domain of Lck has been determined in the active autophosphorylated state. The structures of larger constructs of c-Src and Hck, containing the SH3, SH2 and catalytic domains, as well as a C-terminal regulatory tail, have been determined in the down-regulated state, phosphorylated in the C-terminal tail. A comparison of these structures leads to an unanticipated mechanism for the regulation of catalytic activity by cooperative interactions between the SH2, SH3 and catalytic domains.
