Src Homology 3 domain of C-terminal Src kinase CSK is a cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) tyr kinase containing the Src homology domains, SH3 and SH2, N-terminal to the catalytic tyr kinase domain. They negatively regulate the activity of Src kinases that are anchored to the plasma membrane. To inhibit Src kinases, CSK is translocated to the membrane via binding to specific transmembrane proteins, G-proteins, or adaptor proteins near the membrane. CSK catalyzes the tyr phosphorylation of the regulatory C-terminal tail of Src kinases, resulting in their inactivation. It is expressed in a wide variety of tissues and plays a role, as a regulator of Src, in cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation, and consequently, in cancer development and progression. In addition, CSK also shows Src-independent functions. It is a critical component in G-protein signaling, and plays a role in cytoskeletal reorganization and cell migration. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies. |
