Characterization of Sam68-like mammalian proteins SLM-1 and SLM-2: SLM-1 is a Src substrate during mitosis.

ABSTRACT: Sam68, the 68-kDa Src substrate associated during mitosis, is an RNA-binding protein with signaling properties that contains a GSG (GRP33, Sam68, GLD-1) domain. Here we report the cloning of two Sam68-like-mammalian proteins, SLM-1 and SLM-2. These proteins have an approximately 70% sequence identity with Sam68 in their GSG domain. SLM-1 and SLM-2 have the characteristic Sam68 SH2 and SH3 domain binding sites. SLM-1 is an RNA-binding protein that is tyrosine phosphorylated by Src during mitosis. SLM-1 bound the SH2 and SH3 domains of p59(fyn), Grb-2, phospholipase Cgamma-1 (PLCgamma-1), and/or p120(rasGAP), suggesting it may function as a multifunctional adapter protein for Src during mitosis. SLM-2 is an RNA-binding protein that is not tyrosine phosphorylated by Src or p59(fyn). Moreover,
