Abstract
The T and natural killer (NK) cell-specific gene SAP (SH2D1A) encodes a 'free SH2 domain' that binds a specific tyrosine motif in the cytoplasmic tail of SLAM (CD150) and related cell surface proteins. Mutations in SH2D1A cause the X-linked lymphoproliferative disease, a primary immunodeficiency. Here we report that a second gene encoding a free SH2 domain, EAT-2, is expressed in macrophages and B lympho cytes. The EAT-2 structure in complex with a phosphotyrosine peptide containing a sequence motif with Tyr281 of the cytoplasmic tail of CD150 is very similar to the structure of SH2D1A complexed with the same peptide. This explains the high affinity of EAT-2 for the pTyr motif in the cytoplasmic tail of CD150 but, unlike SH2D1A, EAT-2 does not bind to non-phosphorylated CD150. EAT-2 binds to the phosphorylated receptors CD84, CD150, CD229 and CD244, and acts as a natural inhibitor, which interferes with the recruitment of the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2. We conclude that EAT-2 plays a role in controlling signal transduction through at least four receptors expressed on the surface of professional antigen-presenting cells.

Figure 1 The human EAT-2 gene. (A) Alignment of the human and mouse EAT-2 nucleotide sequences. The coding region sequences of the human (hEAT-2) and mouse (mEAT-2) EAT-2 cDNAs are compared. Exon boundaries are indicated (bold font, identity of nucleotides; regular font, difference of nucleotides). (B) Genomic organization of the human EAT-2 gene. The human EAT-2 gene consists of four exons that present an overall organization similar to that of the SH2D1A gene. The putative exon IIIA represents part of exon III (see text).

Figure 4 EAT-2 binds exclusively to a phosphorylated peptide (pY281) derived from the cytoplasmic tail of CD150. (A) Fluorescence polarization analysis of the EAT-2 binding to a phosphorylated pY281 peptide. Different concentrations of GST -mouse EAT-2 (or GST -human SH2D1A) and an 11mer synthetic peptide identical to amino acid residues 276 -287 of human CD150 (Sayos et al., 1998), tyrosine phosphorylated or not, were used. Top panel: binding of GST -mouse EAT-2 to the pY281 (filled triangles and continuous line) or the Y281 peptide (open squares and dashed line). Bottom panel: binding of GST -human SH2D1A to the pY281 (filled triangles and continuous line) or the Y281 peptide (open squares and dashed line). x-axis: protein concentration (nM); y-axis: polarization units (mP). The table summarizes the apparent dissociation constant (kD). (B) Hybrid system analysis of the interaction between EAT-2 and the cytoplasmic tail of CD150 in the presence or absence of fyn. Dashed bars indicate the interaction between the EAT-2 (or SH2D1A) full-length protein fused to a GAL4 DNA-binding domain and the GAL4 DNA activation domain fused to the cytoplasmic tail of the CD150 receptor. An empty pGAD424 vector was used as a control (solid bars). The test was conducted in either the presence or absence of fyn[420,531Y -F]. y-axis = -galactosidase (U/ml).

Full text Abstract
Figure 1.
Figure 1. Structure of SAP and the Location of Missense Mutations Identified in XLP Patients(A) Ribbon diagram showing the SAP/SLAM pY281 complex. The bound phosphopeptide is shown in a stick representation (yellow). Selected SAP residues that form the binding site are shown in blue. Elements of secondary structure are labeled using the standard SH2 domain nomenclature ([8]). Note that the pY −3 to pY −1 residues of the peptide make a parallel β sheet interaction with strand βD; the side chains of these peptide residues make hydrophobic contacts with Tyr-50, Ile-51, and Tyr-52 in strand βD, and with Leu-21. Thr (pY −2) in the peptide hydrogen bonds with Glu-17 and with a buried water molecule. The phosphotyrosine is coordinated in a manner similar to that observed in the N-terminal domain of SHP-2, and as in SHP-2, the phosphate group is rotated “above” the plane of the phosphotyrosine ring. Interestingly, arginine 13 (at position αA2), which is conserved in almost all SH2 domains and usually contributes to phosphotyrosine coordination, does not participate in phosphate binding in the SAP complex. Instead, arginine 55 (βD6) hydrogen bonds with the phosphate group. C-terminal to phosphotyrosine, Val(pY +3) binds in a mostly hydrophobic cleft.(B) Point mutations identified in XLP patients cluster along the peptide-binding site and at the back of the domain. Mutations that would be expected to directly disrupt the phosphotyrosine-binding pocket are shown in green, and those that would disrupt C-terminal interactions in magenta. The remaining mutations (gold) are remote from the peptide-binding surface and may destabilize the folded protein (see text).(C) Structure-based sequence comparisons of human SAP, murine EAT-2, and other SH2 domains. Elements of secondary structure are indicated above the alignment. Numbering corresponds to human SAP. The black diamonds indicate the mutations illustrated in (B).
Figure 2.
Figure 2. Structure and Comparisons of the SAP/SLAM Y281 Complex(A) Surface representation of the SAP domain with the bound nonphosphorylated peptide shown in green. Hydrophobic residues at the −1 and −3 positions of the peptide intercalate with hydrophobic and aromatic residues on the surface of the domain (see also [D] and Figure 1A). C-terminal to phosphotyrosine, Val+3 is buried in a mostly hydrophobic groove.(B) Superposition of the phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated peptides shows that they adopt an essentially identical conformation. An alpha-carbon trace of the domain is shown in gray.(C) Superposition of the unliganded domain (blue) and the phosphopeptide (yellow) and nonphosphorylated peptide complexes (green). In the absence of bound peptide, the EF and BG loops fold inward to close the hydrophobic +3 binding groove. The conformation of the phosphotyrosine-binding pocket is essentially the same in all structures. In the unliganded structure, a sulfate ion occupies the position of the phosphate group in the phosphopeptide complex.(D) Detail of the phosphotyrosine-binding pocket in the SLAM/pY281 complex. Red spheres represent ordered water molecules. The pY281 peptide is shown in yellow. Thin cyan lines indicate potential hydrogen bonds. Note that Arg-13 is poorly ordered and does not participate in phosphotyrosine coordination.(E) Detail of the phosphotyrosine-binding pocket in the nonphosphorylated SLAM/Y281 complex. Red spheres represent ordered water molecules. The Y281 peptide is shown in green. Thin cyan lines indicate potential hydrogen bonds. Note that Arg-32 organizes an extensive network of hydrogen bonds in spite of the lack of phosphorylation of Tyr-281.
