Src Homology 3 domain of Src Kinase-Associated Phosphoprotein 1 SKAP1, also called SKAP55 (Src kinase-associated protein of 55kDa), is an immune cell-specific adaptor protein that plays an important role in T-cell adhesion, migration, and integrin clustering. It is expressed exclusively in T-lymphocytes, mast cells, and macrophages. Binding partners include ADAP (adhesion and degranulation-promoting adaptor protein), Fyn, Riam, RapL, and RasGRP. It contains a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a C-terminal SH3 domain, and several tyrosine phosphorylation sites. The SH3 domain of SKAP1 is necessary for its ability to regulate T-cell conjugation with antigen-presenting cells and the formation of LFA-1 clusters. SKAP1 binds primarily to a proline-rich region of ADAP through its SH3 domain; its degradation is regulated by ADAP. A secondary interaction occurs via the ADAP SH3 domain and the RKxxYxxY motif in SKAP1. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies. |
