Family with sequence similarity 43, member A (FAM43A) Phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domain The function of FAM43A is currently unknown. Human FAM43A is located on chromosome 3 at location 3q29. It encodes a 3182 base pair mRNA which possesses one Pleckstrin homology-like domain. The mRNA translates into LOC131583, a hydrophilic protein that is predicted to localize in the nucleus. The FAM43A gene is conserved through a broad range of vertebrates. It is highly conserved from chimpanzees to zebrafish. PTB domains have a common PH-like fold and are found in various eukaryotic signaling molecules. This domain was initially shown to binds peptides with a NPXY motif with differing requirements for phosphorylation of the tyrosine, although more recent studies have found that some types of PTB domains can bind to peptides lack tyrosine residues altogether. In contrast to SH2 domains, which recognize phosphotyrosine and adjacent carboxy-terminal residues, PTB-domain binding specificity is conferred by residues amino-terminal to the phosphotyrosine. PTB domains are classified into three groups: phosphotyrosine-dependent Shc-like, phosphotyrosine-dependent IRS-like, and phosphotyrosine-independent Dab-like PTB domains. |
