Characterizing the Phosphorylation State of Tie2 using SH2 Domain Fusion Proteins
… downstream signaling via their Src homology 2 (SH2) domains. Currently there are no phosphospecific antibodies for Tie2, therefore, identifying critical residues responsible for certain pathways remains difficult. In our study, we aim to use purified SH2 domains of known binding partners to Tie2 …

Design, synthesis, and thermodynamic evaluation of peptidomimetic ligands binding to the Src SH2 domain
… pYEEI-derived peptidomimetic ligands to the Src SH2 domain were evaluated to investigate the effects of structural changes on protein-ligand binding energetics. The effect of preorganizing the pYEEI ligand into its binding conformation was analyzed by substituting the isoleucine residue with a …

Protein Tyrosine Phosphorylation in Haematopoietic Cancers and the Functional Significance of Phospho- Lyn SH2 Domain
… of a conserved tyrosine in the Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of Src family kinases, which was frequently observed in human cancer specimens and regulated in cancer-derived cell lines. Using the Lyn SH2 domain as a model, I discovered that when this tyrosine (Y194) is phosphorylated, the domain …

Disulfide Bridging the Gap between Src and Cortactin: A New Paradigm in SH2 Domain-mediated Signaling
… between Src and cortactin, whereby the Src SH2 domain interacts with cortactin via a disulfide bond formation and that this binding event is necessary for the formation of pro-invasive invadopodia. The work here also defines a paradigm shift in how SH2 domain-containing proteins interact …

Synthetic Studies on Small Molecule Modulators of Src Homology 2 (SH2) Domain-Containing Inositol 5’-Phosphatase (SHIP)
<p>Small molecule modulators of SH2-containing inositol 5’-phosphatase (SHIP) have recently become a hotly pursued area in medicinal chemistry. Pharmaceutical targeting of SHIP with small molecules has been identified as a new method to directly influence the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) cell …

Synthesis of [beta]-heteroaryl propionates via trapping of carbocations with [pi]-nucleophiles, efforts towards the total synthesis of acutumine, and the design, synthesis, and thermodynamics of protein-ligand interactions at the Src SH2 domain
… binding affinity of various ligands to the Src SH2 domain was also investigated. A series of four ligands were designed and enantioselectively synthesized in order to compare how differences in the conformations of the ligands affect the thermodynamics of binding. Namely, cyclopropanes were …

Specificity of SH2 domains and protein tyrosine phosphatases
… (PTKs) or have an associated PTK activity. SH2 domains and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) play essential roles in transmitting these signals. SH2 domains are small domains of V100 amino acids that bind to phospho-tyrosine (pY) in the context of adjacent amino acids. and PTPs counteract …

A strategy to suppress STAT1 signalling conserved in pathogenic poxviruses and paramyxoviruses
… of 018. Mapping experiment identified the SH2 domain of STAT1, a region important for STAT1 recruitment to IFN-receptors, as the site of 018 binding. In cells expressing 018, STAT1 failed to be phosphorylated, thereby preventing STAT1 activation. Taking the type II IFN pathway as a model, …

Untersuchungen zur Modulation der IL-6-Signaltransduktion und zur Funktion der feed back Inhibitoren SOCS1 und SOCS3
… In addition the function of the SOCS3-SH2 domain was not abrogated upon SOCS3 phosphorylation. It has been shown that SOCS proteins can be recruited to an E3-ubiquitin ligase complex through the interaction with ElonginC. This then leads to the degradation of SOCS binding proteins. In …

Mutations In Stat3 Associated With Human Hyper Ige Syndrome Enhance Nfκb and Mapk-Mediated Gene Expression
… with mutations in STAT3, which disrupt protein domains responsible for transcriptional function. Patients with HIES display osteoporosis and enhanced inflammatory cytokine production similar to hematopoietic Stat3-deficient mice. Since osteoclast and inflammatory cytokine genes are NFκB targets, …

Das Interaktom der SH2-Domänen der Proteintyrosinphosphatase SHP2 und ihren krankheitsrelevanten Mutanten
… PI3K pathways. Structurally SHP2 consists of two SH2 domains, a catalytically active PTP domain and tyrosine residues in the C-terminal tail which upon phosphorylation interact with SH2 domain containing proteins. In addition to its enzymatic function, the protein is also capable of exerting …

Protein/Peptide Recognition Modules in Cellular Signaling and HIV Pathogenesis
<p>The peptide-recognition domains play a key role in Eukaryotic signal transduction by mediating sequence-specific interactions with their protein/peptide ligands. In this thesis, I illustrate in molecular detail the recognition mechanisms utilized by three peptide-recognition domains: SH2 (Src …

Post-translationally Modified Glucocorticoid Receptors and Protein Tyrosine Kinase 6 Modulate Triple Negative Breast Cancer Phenotypes
… we created kinase-dead (KM) and kinase-intact domain structure mutants of PTK6 via in frame deletions of the N-terminal SH3 or SH2 domains. While the PTK6 kinase domain contributed to soft-agar colony formation, PTK6 kinase activity was entirely dispensable for cell migration. Specifically, …

Modulation der IL-6-abhängigen Signaltransduktion durch die Protein-Tyrosinphosphatase SHP2
In the year 1993 a protein-tyrosine phosphatase, SH2 domain containing protein-tyrosine-phosphatase 2 (SHP2), has been discovered, which seems to play an important role in the signaltransduction of many cytokines. The aim of this work was to elucidate the role of the tyrosine phosporylation of SHP2 …
