Signal-transducing adaptor protein-2 (STAP-2) was discovered as a C-FMS/M-CSFR interacting protein and subsequently found to function as an adaptor of signaling or transcription factors. These include STAT5, MyD88 and IκB kinase in macrophages, mast cells, and T cells. There is additional information about roles for STAP-2 in several types of malignant

Signal-Transducing Adaptor Protein-2 Modulates Fas-Mediated T Cell Apoptosis by Interacting with Caspase-8 [PDF]
Abstract We found that an adaptor protein, signal-transducing adaptor protein (STAP)-2, is a new member of the Fas–death-inducing signaling complex and participates in activation-induced cell death in T cells. STAP-2 enhanced Fas-mediated apoptosis and caspase-8 aggregation and activation in Jurkat T cells.

T cell development and T cell responses in mice with mutations affecting tyrosines 292 or 315 of the ZAP-70 protein tyrosine kinase [PDF]
After stimulation of the T cell receptor (TCR), the tyrosine residues 292 and 315 in interdomain B of the protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70 become phosphorylated and plausibly function as docking sites for Cbl and Vav1, respectively. The two latter proteins

Signal-Transducing Adaptor Protein-2 Regulates Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1α-Induced Chemotaxis in T Cells [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 revealed that STAP-2 regulates integrin-mediated T cell adhesion.

The Role of Signal-Transducing Adaptor Protein-2 in Early T Lymphopoiesis in Thymus
Abstract Immune cells show quick responses to infection. Many studies concerning cellular and humoral immunity have focused on the regulation of mature lymphocyte function. However, recent studies revealed that the early stage of hematopoiesis plays an important role in the immune system.

Signal-Transducing Adaptor Protein-2 Regulates Integrin-Mediated T Cell Adhesion through Protein Degradation of Focal Adhesion Kinase [PDF]
Abstract Signal-transducing adaptor protein-2 (STAP-2) is a recently identified adaptor protein that contains pleckstrin homology- and Src homology 2-like domains as well as a YXXQ motif in its C-terminal region. Our previous studies demonstrated that STAP-2 binds to STAT3 and STAT5, and regulates their signaling pathways.

Phosphorylation of the multifunctional signal transducer B-cell adaptor protein (BCAP) promotes recruitment of multiple SH2/SH3 proteins including GRB2 [PDF]
B-cell adaptor protein (BCAP) is a multimodular, multifunctional signal transducer that regulates signal transduction pathways in leukocytes, including macrophages, B-cells, and T-cells. In particular, BCAP suppresses inflammatory signaling by Toll-like receptors (TLRs).
