“…First described in focal adhesion kinase (FAK) (Arold et al, 2002;Hayashi et al, 2002), the compact four-helix bundle FAT domain was subsequently identified in the Cas-family of proteins (Arold et al, 2002;Garron et al, 2009;Mace et al, 2011), in the focal adhesion protein vinculin (Arold et al, 2002), in G protein-coupled receptor kinase-interacting protein ArfGAP 1 (GIT1) (Schmalzigaug et al, 2007) and more recently in cerebral cavernous malformation protein 3 (CCM3) (Li et al, 2010). The FAT domain mediates FAK interaction with paxillin (Hayashi et al, 2002;Hoellerer et al, 2003), FAK intra-molecular interactions (BramiCherrier et al, 2014), CCM3 interaction with CCM2 (Draheim et al, 2015), and interactions between the Cas-family proteins and members of the SH2-containing protein (NSP) family -NSP1, NSP2 (also known as AND-34 and BCAR3) and NSP3 (also known as SHEP1 and CHAT) (Garron et al, 2009;Mace et al, 2011).…”
