18. ••] describe the mechanism of autoinhibition of the kinase c-Abl. Like the Src family kinases, intramolecular SH2 and SH3 domain interactions participate in autoinhibition. In addition, an N-terminal myristoyl group docks against the kinase domain to form a third autoinhibitory interaction. Thus, inputs that disrupt any of these three autoinhibitory interactions may serve as activating stimuli.

Rosen Contingent phosphorylation/dephosphorylation provides a mechanism of molecular memory in WASP Mol Cell 11 2003 1215 1227 This study, together with [22,23], shows that tyrosine phosphorylation of the autoinhibitory GBD can serve as an activating input for the actin-regulatory protein WASP. Torres et al. examined the relationship between Cdc42 and phosphorylation-dependent activation. Their findings indicate that phosphorylation of Tyr256 is unfavorable unless activated Cdc42 is present. They suggest that transient activation of N-WASP by Cdc42 may allow long-term activation via phosphorylation, a form of memory.

Lim Reprogramming control of an allosteric signaling switch through modular recombination Science 301 2003 1904 1908 Inspired by the modular architecture of many signaling proteins, heterologous protein-protein interaction domains were recombined with the output domain of the actin polymerization switch N-WASP. The resulting synthetic proteins displayed diverse and complex gating behaviors analogous to those observed in natural signaling proteins. These findings support the hypothesis that such a modular framework may facilitate the evolution of novel gates and, therefore, novel signaling networks.

In both of these studies, two distinct protein folds are energetically linked by inserting one within the sequence of the other. This thermodynamic coupling allows ligands of one fold to modulate the activity of the other fold.

Lim Rewiring MAP kinase pathways using alternative scaffold assembly mechanisms Science 299 2003 1061 1064 In this study, alternative scaffolding interactions were used to rewire MAPK signaling in yeast. Interaction-defective scaffolds could be rescued by re-recruiting components via heterologous protein-protein interactions. Moreover, chimeric scaffolds that recruit a novel set of kinases could redirect signaling, resulting in cells that display a novel, non-physiological input/output signaling response. This paper and the following one [37] highlight the importance of co-recruitment in determining signaling specificity.

42. •] exemplify new findings indicating that natural scaffold proteins utilize higher order mechanisms of regulation in addition to simple tethering of pathway components. The interactions of the Ras pathway scaffold KSR (kinase suppressor of Ras) are highly regulated. First, signaling activity induces KSR membrane recruitment and interaction with ERK (via displacement of a 14-3-3 protein). Second, signaling activity also relieves repression by the newly identified negative regulator IMP (impedes mitogenic signal propagation), which sequesters KSR in an inactive state. These multiple layers of scaffold regulation are likely to result in a precise, finely tuned Ras pathway response.
