Molecular basis for interaction of the protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70 with the T-cell receptor

Abstract: The crystal structure of the tandem SH2 domains of human ZAP-70 in complex with a peptide derived from the zeta-subunit of the T-cell receptor reveals an unanticipated interaction between the two domains. A coiled coil of alpha-helices connects the two SH2 domains, producing an interface that constitutes one of the two critical phosphotyrosine binding sites. These and other unique features provide the molecular basis for highly selective association of ZAP-70 with the T-cell receptor.

“…Examples of interchain dimerization to form antiparallel coiled-coils are observed in the crystal structures of the replication terminator protein of B. subtilis (20) and pilin protein of N. gonorrhoeae (21). Examples of the more common intrachain antiparallel coiled-coils have been found in several enzymes, including bacterial seryl-tRNA synthetase (22), the GreA transcript cleavage factor of E. coli (23), and the T-cell protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70 (24). The simplicity of the dimeric coiled-coil structure makes it an ideal system to use in understanding the fundamentals of protein folding and stability and in testing the principles of de novo design for a wide range of medical applications (4).…”

“…[6,10] This is supported by the structures of tSH2 in the bound and the free states of the other member of the Syk/ZAP family kinases: ZAP-70. [11,12] In the unbound state, the two SH2 domains of ZAP-70 are far apart from each other. Upon ITAM binding, the tSH2 of ZAP-70 undergoes a large conformational change, becoming locked in a more "closed" conformation.…”

“…The binding affinity of Shc to tyrosine phosphorylated 1 is however low, at least compared to ZAP-70 and, furthermore, Shc preferentially binds to singly rather than doubly phosphorylated ITAM (Osman et al, 1995), a situation which is not likely to occur in correctly activated cells, where all three chain ITAMs have been shown to be fully phosphorylated (Neumeister Kersh et al, 1998). Furthermore, the stable interaction between phospho-and ZAP-70 mediated by a dual interaction of the tandem SH2 domains of ZAP-70 with the two phosphotyrosine residues within the chain ITAM (Hatada et al, 1995) suggests a potential steric hindrance to the access of Shc.…”
