    Abstract:
    Src homology-2 (SH2) domains, containing approximately 100 amino acid residues, are noncatalytic motifs involved with intracellular signal transduction. These domains can be found on nonreceptor kinases, phosphatases, and in regulatory adapter proteins among others. SH2 domains bind proteins containing phosphotyrosine (pTyr) residues in a sequence specific manner. Our efforts have focused on designing peptide mimetic ligands for the SH2 domain of the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase pp60src. We employed the cocrystal structure of the 11mer Glu-Pro-Gln-pTyr-Glu-Glu-Ile-Pro-IIe-Tyr-Leu IC50 = 800 nM as a starting point for our design efforts. These efforts have resulted in the discovery of tripeptide ligands containing D-amino acids that are only 2-fold less potent than the 11mer.
