Signal-transducing adaptor protein-2 modulates T-cell functions
Immune responses are orchestrated by controlling the initiation, magnitude, and duration of various signaling pathways. Adaptor proteins act as positive or negative regulators by targeting critical molecules of signaling cascades. Signal-transducing adaptor protein-2 (STAP-2) contains typical features of adaptor proteins, like a pleckstrin homology (PH)

Modulation of TLR4 Signaling by a Novel Adaptor Protein Signal-Transducing Adaptor Protein-2 in Macrophages [PDF]
Abstract Signal-transducing adaptor protein-2 (STAP-2) is a recently identified adaptor protein that contains pleckstrin and Src homology 2-like domains as well as a YXXQ motif in its C-terminal region. Our previous studies have demonstrated that STAP-2 binds to STAT3 and STAT5, and regulates their signaling pathways.

Constitutive internalization and association with adaptor protein‐2 of the interleukin‐6 signal transducer gp130 [PDF]
The transmembrane protein gp130 is the common signalling receptor subunit for the interleukin‐6 (IL‐6)‐type cytokines. It has recently been shown that the cytoplasmic domain of gp130 contains a dileucine internalization motif and that endocytosis of gp130 occurs signal‐independent.

In-cell biochemistry using NMR spectroscopy. [PDF]
Biochemistry and structural biology are undergoing a dramatic revolution. Until now, mostly in vitro techniques have been used to study subtle and complex biological processes under conditions usually remote from those existing in the cell.

The Adaptor Protein Paxillin Is Essential for Normal Development in the Mouse and Is a Critical Transducer of Fibronectin Signaling [PDF]
The integrin family of cell adhesion receptors are important for a diverse set of biological responses during development. Although many integrins have been shown to engage a similar set of cytoplasmic effector proteins in vitro, the importance of these proteins in the biological events mediated by different integrin receptors and ligands is uncertain.

Shc adaptor proteins are key transducers of mitogenic signaling mediated by the G protein-coupled thrombin receptor. [PDF]
The serine protease thrombin activates G protein signaling systems that lead to Ras activation and, in certain cells, proliferation. Whereas the steps leading to Ras activation by G protein-coupled receptors are not well defined, the mechanisms of Ras activation by receptor tyrosine kinases have recently been elucidated biochemically and genetically ...

Signal-Transducing Adaptor Protein-2 Controls the IgE-Mediated, Mast Cell–Mediated Anaphylactic Responses [PDF]
Abstract Signal-transducing adaptor protein-2 (STAP-2) is a recently identified adaptor protein that regulates immune and inflammatory responses through interactions with a variety of signaling and transcriptional molecules. In the current study, we clarified the physiological role of STAP-2 in mast cell function, a key mediator of IgE ...
