SKAP2 Modular Organization Differently Recognizes SRC Kinases Depending on Their Activation Status and Localization.

ABSTRACT: Dimerization of SRC kinase adaptor phosphoprotein 2 (SKAP2) induces an increase of binding for most SRC kinases suggesting a fine-tuning with transphosphorylation for kinase activation. This work addresses the molecular basis of SKAP2-mediated SRC kinase regulation through the lens of their interaction capacities. By combining a luciferase complementation assay and extensive site-directed mutagenesis, we demonstrated that SKAP2 interacts with SRC kinases through a modular organization depending both on their phosphorylation-dependent activation and subcellular localization. SKAP2 contains three interacting modules consisting in the dimerization domain, the SRC homology 3 (SH3) domain, and the second interdomain located between the Pleckstrin homology and the SH3 domains. Functionally, the
