Molecular basis for interaction of the protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70 with the T-cell receptor

An Addendum to this article was published on 12 April 2007

Abstract

The crystal structure of the tandem SH2 domains of human ZAP-70 in complex with a peptide derived from the ζ-subunit of the T-cell receptor reveals an unanticipated interaction between the two domains. A coiled coil of α-helices connects the two SH2 domains, producing an interface that constitutes one of the two critical phosphotyrosine binding sites. These and other unique features provide the molecular basis for highly selective association of ZAP-70 with the T-cell receptor.
