Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in Ras and Rab interactor (RIN)-family
The RIN (AKA Ras interaction/interference) family is composed of RIN1, RIN2 and RIN3. These proteins have multifunctional domains including SH2 and proline-rich (PR) domains in the N-terminal region, and RIN-family homology (RH), VPS9 and Ras-association (RA) domains in the C-terminal region. RIN proteins function as Rab5-GEFs, and RIN3 specifically functions as a Rab31-GEF. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites.
