FunctionSRC_CHICK Non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase which is activated following engagement of many different classes of cellular receptors including immune response receptors, integrins and other adhesion receptors, receptor protein tyrosine kinases, G protein-coupled receptors as well as cytokine receptors. Participates in signaling pathways that control a diverse spectrum of biological activities including gene transcription, immune response, cell adhesion, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, migration, and transformation. Due to functional redundancy between members of the SRC kinase family, identification of the specific role of each SRC kinase is very difficult. SRC appears to be one of the primary kinases activated following engagement of receptors and plays a role in the activation of other protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) families. Receptor clustering or dimerization leads to recruitment of SRC to the receptor complexes where it phosphorylates the tyrosine residues within the receptor cytoplasmic domains. Plays an important role in the regulation of cytoskeletal organization through phosphorylation of specific substrates involved in this process. When cells adhere via focal adhesions to the extra-cellular matrix, signals are transmitted by integrins into the cell and result in tyrosine phosphorylation of a number of focal adhesion proteins, including PTK2/FAK1 and paxillin (PXN). Also active at the sites of cell-cell contact adherens junctions and at gap junctions. Implicated in the regulation of pre-mRNA-processing. Might be involved not only in mediating the transduction of mitogenic signals at the level of the plasma membrane but also in controlling progression through the cell cycle via interaction with regulatory proteins in the nucleus.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedBACKGROUND: Protein-structure-based combinatorial chemistry has recently been used to discover several ligands containing non-peptide binding elements to the Src SH3 domain. The encoded library used has the form Cap-M1-M2-M3-PLPPLP, in which the Cap and Mi's are composed of a diverse set of organic monomers. The PLPPLP portion provided a structural bias directing the non-peptide fragment Cap-M1-M2-M3 to the SH3 specificity pocket. Fifteen ligands were selected from > 1.1 million distinct compounds. The structural basis for selection was unknown. RESULTS: The solution structures of the Src SH3 domain complexed with two ligands containing non-peptide elements selected from the library were determined by multidimensional NMR spectroscopy. The non-peptide moieties of the ligands interact with the specificity pocket of Src SH3 domain differently from peptides complexed with SH3 domains. Structural information about the ligands was used to design various homologs, whose affinities for the SH3 domain were measured. The results provide a structural basis for understanding the selection of a few optimal ligands from a large library. CONCLUSIONS: The cycle of protein-structure-based combinatorial chemistry followed by structure determination of the few highest affinity ligands provides a powerful new tool for the field of molecular recognition.
