VHS (Vps27/Hrs/STAM) domain of Signal Transducing Adapter Molecule 2 Signal Transducing Adapter Molecule 2 (STAM2) is also called EAST (EGFR-Associated protein with SH3 and TAM domain) and Hbp (Hrs-binding protein). It is highly expressed in neurons, where it is localized in the nucleus. STAM (Signal Transducing Adaptor Molecule) subfamily members have at their N-termini a VHS domain, which is involved in cytokine-mediated intracellular signal transduction and has a superhelical structure similar to the structure of ARM (Armadillo) repeats, followed by a Ubiquitin-Interacting Motif (UIM) and a SH3 (Src Homology 3) domain, which is a well-established protein-protein interaction domain, and a GAT (GGA and TOM) domain. At the C-termini of most vertebrate STAMS, an Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-based Activation Motif (ITAM) is present, which mediates the binding of HRS (hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate) in endocytic and exocytic machineries. STAM is a component of the ESCRT (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport)-0 machinery and together with Hrs, functions to bind and sequester cargoes for downstream sorting into intralumenal vesicles.
