Src homology 3 domain of Src-Like Adaptor Protein SLAP (or SLA1) modulates TCR surface expression levels as well as surface and total BCR levels. As an adaptor to c-Cbl, SLAP increases the ubiquitination, intracellular retention, and targeted degradation of the BCR complex components. SLAP has been shown to interact with the EphA receptor, EpoR, Lck, PDGFR, Syk, CD79a, c-Cbl, LAT, CD247, and Zap70, among others. SLAPs are adaptor proteins with limited similarity to Src family tyrosine kinases. They contain an N-terminal SH3 domain followed by an SH2 domain, and a unique C-terminal sequence. The SH3 domain of SLAP forms a complex with v-Abl. 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.
