Src homology 2 (SH2) domain found in Src-related kinase lacking C-terminal regulatory tyrosine and N-terminal myristoylation sites (srm) Srm is a nonreceptor protein kinase that has two SH2 domains, a SH3 domain, and a kinase domain with a tyrosine residue for autophosphorylation. However it lacks an N-terminal glycine for myristoylation and a C-terminal tyrosine which suppresses kinase activity when phosphorylated. Srm is most similar to members of the Tec family who other members include: Tec, Btk/Emb, and Itk/Tsk/Emt. However Srm differs in its N-terminal unique domain it being much smaller than in the Tec family and is closer to Src. Srm is thought to be a new family of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases that may be redundant in function. 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.
