Src homology 3 domain of Ubiquitin-associated and SH3 domain-containing protein B
UBASH3B, also called Suppressor of T cell receptor Signaling (STS)-1 or T cell Ubiquitin LigAnd (TULA)-2 is an active phosphatase that is expressed ubiquitously. The phosphatase activity of UBASH3B is essential for its roles in the suppression of TCR signaling and the regulation of EGFR. It also interacts with Syk and functions as a negative regulator of platelet glycoprotein VI signaling. TULA proteins contain an N-terminal UBA domain, a central SH3 domain, and a C-terminal histidine phosphatase domain. They bind c-Cbl through the SH3 domain and to ubiquitin via UBA. 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.
