Abstract
Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) is implicated in signaling downstream of the T cell receptor. Its non-catalytic, C-terminal half contains several prolinerich motifs, which have been shown to interact with different SH3 domain-containing adaptor proteins in vitro. One of these, Mona/Gads, was also shown to bind HPK1 in mouse T cells in vivo. The region of HPK1 that binds to the Mona/Gads C-terminal SH3 domain has been mapped and shows only very limited similarity to a recently identified high affinity binding motif in SLP-76, another T-cell adaptor. Using isothermal titration calorimetry and x-ray crystallography, the binding of the HPK1 motif to Mona/Gads SH3C has now been characterized in molecular detail. The results indicate that although charge interactions through an RXXK motif are essential for complex formation, a PXXP motif in HPK1 strongly complements binding. This unexpected binding mode therefore differs considerably from the previously described interaction of Mona/Gads SH3C with SLP-76. The crystal structure of the complex highlights the great versatility of SH3 domains, which allows interactions with very different proteins. This currently limits our ability to categorize SH3 binding properties by simple rules.

FIG. 2. Schematic representation of the Mona/Gads SH3C domain with the bound HPK1 peptide (P5). The depicted view looks down the -barrel arrangement of the SH3 domain. The PPII helix of P5 is highlighted in green, and the 3[10] helix is highlighted in orange.

FIG. 5. Comparison of the Mona/Gads SH3-HPK1 peptide complex with other such structures. A, stereo view superposition of peptides from three different SH3-peptide complexes. SH3 domains are omitted for clarity. The HPK1 is colored (complex with Mona/Gads SH3C) in green, the Sos peptide (bound to Grb2 SH3N; 1GBQ [PDB] .pdb) is colored in orange, and the UBPY (USP8) peptide (in complex with Stam2 SH3; 1UJ0.pdb) is colored in yellow. Peptide orientation is identical in all three cases with N termini pointing up. B, detail of the interactions between the RXXK motif within the HPK1 peptide and Mona/Gads SH3C. C, the corresponding region from the Sos peptide-Grb2 SH3N complex (1GBQ [PDB] .pdb). For clarity, peptide residues are outlined by a light gray underlay.
