From the The regulatory fragment of Src kinases,
comprising Src homology (SH) 3 and SH2 domains, is responsible for
controlled repression of kinase activity. We have used a
multidisciplinary approach involving crystallography, NMR, and
isothermal titration calorimetry to study the regulatory fragment of
Fyn (FynSH32) and its interaction with a physiological activator: a
fragment of focal adhesion kinase that contains both phosphotyrosine
and polyproline motifs. Although flexible, the preferred disposition of
SH3 and SH2 domains in FynSH32 resembles the inactive forms of Hck and
Src, differing significantly from LckSH32. This difference, which
results from variation in the SH3-SH2 linker sequences, will affect the
potential of the regulatory fragments to repress kinase activity. This
surprising result implies that the mechanism of repression of Src
family members may vary, explaining functional distinctions between Fyn and Lck. The interaction between FynSH32 and focal adhesion kinase is
restricted to the canonical SH3 and SH2 binding sites and does not
affect the dynamic independence of the two domains. Consequently, the
interaction shows no enhancement by an avidity effect. Such an
interaction may have evolved to gain specificity through an extended recognition site while maintaining rapid dissociation after signaling.
