Abstract
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV or MCPyV) is an alphapolyomavirus causing human Merkel cell carcinoma and encodes four tumor (T) antigen proteins: large T (LT), small tumor (sT), 57 kT, and middle T (MT)/alternate LT open reading frame proteins. We show that MCV MT is generated as multiple isoforms through internal methionine translational initiation that insert into membrane lipid rafts. The membrane-localized MCV MT oligomerizes and promiscuously binds to lipid raft-associated Src family kinases (SFKs). MCV MT-SFK interaction is mediated by a Src homology (SH) 3 recognition motif as determined by surface plasmon resonance, coimmunoprecipitation, and bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays. SFK recruitment by MT leads to tyrosine phosphorylation at a SH2 recognition motif (pMTY114), allowing interaction with phospholipase C gamma 1 (PLCγ1). The secondary recruitment of PLCγ1 to the SFK-MT membrane complex promotes PLCγ1 tyrosine phosphorylation on Y783 and activates the NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway. Mutations at either the MCV MT SH2 or SH3 recognition sites abrogate PLCγ1-dependent activation of NF-κB signaling and increase viral replication after MCV genome transfection into 293 cells. These findings reveal a conserved viral targeting of the SFK-PLCγ1 pathway by both MCV and murine polyomavirus (MuPyV) MT proteins. The molecular steps in how SFK-PLCγ1 activation is achieved, however, differ between these two viruses.

Abstract
Tyrosine sulfation plays a vital role in various biochemical reactions. Although sulfated tyrosine (sTyr) has a similar structure to phosphotyrosine (pTyr), the number of available sTyr sites is significantly less than that of pTyr sites, mainly because of the lack of effective sTyr probes. A few sTyr binders were identified on the basis of structural similarity by engineering the pTyr-binding pocket of an Src Homology 2 (SH2) domain through phage selections against sTyr peptides. Nevertheless, they still interact with pTyr peptides with comparable affinity. This study aims to identify sTyr superbinders using the SH2 domain as a template. We created a distinctive phage selection scheme that separately covered selections against sTyr and pTyr peptides, followed by next-generation sequencing (NGS). After selections, phage pools showed strong enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) signal intensities for both modified peptides, indicating that the variants evolved with a high affinity for these peptides, which causes difficulty in identifying sTyr-specific binders. In contrast, NGS data from selected pools showed significant differences, suggesting the enrichment of sTyr-specific variants during selections. Accordingly, we obtained the sTyr features based on NGS data analysis and prioritized a few potential sTyr binders. The variant SH2-4 showed a stronger affinity for sTyr than pTyr and was superior to previous sTyr binders as measured by the Biolayer Interferometry assay. In summary, we described the strategy of integrating NGS data mining with a novel selection scheme to identify sTyr superbinders.

Abstract
A comprehensive analysis of the phosphoproteome is essential for understanding molecular mechanisms of human diseases. However, current tools used to enrich phosphotyrosine (pTyr) are limited in their applicability and scope. Here, we engineered new superbinder Src-Homology 2 (SH2) domains that enrich diverse sets of pTyr-peptides. We used phage display to select a Fes-SH2 domain variant (superFes; sFes1) with high affinity for pTyr and solved its structure bound to a pTyr-peptide. We performed systematic structure-function analyses of the superbinding mechanisms of sFes1 and superSrc-SH2 (sSrc1), another SH2 superbinder. We grafted the superbinder motifs from sFes1 and sSrc1 into 17 additional SH2 domains and confirmed increased binding affinity for specific pTyr-peptides. Using mass spectrometry (MS), we demonstrated that SH2 superbinders have distinct specificity profiles and superior capabilities to enrich pTyr-peptides. Finally, using combinations of SH2 superbinders as affinity purification (AP) tools we showed that unique subsets of pTyr-peptides can be enriched with unparalleled depth and coverage.

Abstract
Protein engineering through directed evolution is an effective way to obtain proteins with novel functions with the potential applications as tools for diagnosis or therapeutics. Many natural proteins have undergone directed evolution in vitro in the test tubes in the laboratories worldwide, resulting in the numerous protein variants with novel or enhanced functions. we constructed here an SH2 variant library by randomizing 8 variable residues in its phosphotyrosine (pTyr) binding pocket. Selection of this library by a pTyr peptide led to the identification of SH2 variants with enhanced affinities measured by EC50. Fluorescent polarization was then applied to quantify the binding affinities of the newly identified SH2 variants. As a result, three SH2 variants, named V3, V13 and V24, have comparable binding affinities with the previously identified SH2 triple-mutant superbinder. Biolayer Interferometry assay was employed to disclose the kinetics of the binding of these SH2 superbinders to the phosphotyrosine peptide. The results indicated that all the SH2 superbinders have two-orders increase of the dissociation rate when binding the pTyr peptide while there was no significant change in their associate rates. Intriguingly, though binding the pTyr peptide with comparable affinity with other SH2 superbinders, the V3 does not bind to the sTyr peptide. However, variant V13 and V24 have cross-reactivity with both pTyr and sTyr peptides. The newly identified superbinders could be utilized as tools for the identification of pTyr-containing proteins from tissues under different physiological or pathophysiological conditions and may have the potential in the therapeutics.

Abstract
The characterization of phosphotyrosine mediated protein-protein interactions is vital for the interpretation of downstream pathways of transmembrane signaling processes. Currently however, there is a gap between the initial identification and characterization of cellular binding events by proteomic methods and the in vitro generation of quantitative binding information in the form of equilibrium rate constants (Kd values). In this work we present a systematic, accelerated and simplified approach to fill this gap: using cell-free protein synthesis with site-specific labeling for pull-down and microscale thermophoresis (MST) we were able to validate interactions and to establish a binding hierarchy based on Kd values as a completion of existing proteomic data sets. As a model system we analyzed SH2-mediated interactions of the human T-cell phosphoprotein ADAP. Putative SH2 domain-containing binding partners were synthesized from a cDNA library using Expression-PCR with site-specific biotinylation in order to analyze their interaction with fluorescently labeled and in vitro phosphorylated ADAP by pull-down. On the basis of the pull-down results, selected SH2’s were subjected to MST to determine Kd values. In particular, we could identify an unexpectedly strong binding of ADAP to the previously found binding partner Rasa1 of about 100 nM, while no evidence of interaction was found for the also predicted SH2D1A. Moreover, Kd values between ADAP and its known binding partners SLP-76 and Fyn were determined. Next to expanding data on ADAP suggesting promising candidates for further analysis in vivo, this work marks the first Kd values for phosphotyrosine/SH2 interactions on a phosphoprotein level.

Role of herpes simplex virus VP11/12 tyrosine-based motifs in binding and activation of the Src family kinase Lck and recruitment of p85, Grb2, and Shc. J Virol 2013; 87:11276-86.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the abundant herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) tegument protein VP11/12, encoded by gene UL46, stimulates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase)/Akt signaling: it binds the Src family kinase (SFK) Lck, is tyrosine phosphorylated, recruits the p85 subunit of PI3-kinase, and is essential for the activation of Akt during HSV-1 infection. The C-terminal region of VP11/12 contains tyrosine-based motifs predicted to bind the SH2 domains of SFKs (YETV and YEEI), p85 (YTHM), and Grb2 (YENV) and the phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domain of Shc (NPLY). We inactivated each of these motifs in the context of the intact viral genome and examined effects on binding and activation of Lck and recruitment of p85, Grb2, and Shc. Inactivating the p85, Grb2, or Shc motif reduced (p85) or eliminated (Grb2 and Shc) the interaction with the cognate signaling molecule without greatly affecting the other interactions or activation of Lck. Inactivating either SFK motif had only a minor effect on Lck binding and little or no effect on recruitment of p85, Grb2, or Shc. In contrast, inactivation of both SFK motifs severely reduced Lck binding and activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of VP11/12 and reduced (p85) or eliminated (Grb2 and Shc) binding of other signaling proteins. Overall, these data demonstrate the key redundant roles of the VP11/12 SFK-binding motifs in the recruitment and activation of SFKs and indicate that activated SFKs then lead (directly or indirectly) to phosphorylation of the additional motifs involved in recruiting p85, Grb2, and Shc. Thus, VP11/12 appears to mimic an activated growth factor receptor.

Abstract
Voltage-gated sodium channels are important targets for modulation of electrical excitability by neurotransmitters and neurotrophins acting through protein phosphorylation. Fast inactivation of Na(V)1.2 channels is regulated via tyrosine phosphorylation by Fyn kinase and dephosphorylation by receptor phosphoprotein tyrosine phosphatase-beta, which are associated in a signaling complex. Here we have identified the amino acid residues on Na(V)1.2 channels that coordinate binding of Fyn kinase and mediate inhibition of sodium currents by enhancing fast inactivation. Fyn kinase binds to a Src homology 3 (SH3)-binding motif in the second half of the intracellular loop connecting domains I and II (L(I-II)) of Na(V)1.2, and mutation of that SH3-binding motif prevents Fyn binding and Fyn enhancement of fast inactivation of sodium currents. Analysis of tyrosine phosphorylation sites by mutagenesis and functional expression revealed a multisite regulatory mechanism. Y66 and Y1893, which are in consensus sequences appropriate for binding to the Fyn SH2 domain after phosphorylation, are both required for optimal binding and regulation by Fyn. Y730, which is located near the SH3-binding motif in L(I-II), and Y1497 and Y1498 in the inactivation gate in L(III-IV), are also required for optimal regulation. Phosphorylation of these sites likely promotes fast inactivation. Fast inactivation of the closely related Na(V)1.1 channels is not modulated by Fyn, and these channels do not contain an SH3-binding motif in L(I-II). Subtype-selective modulation by tyrosine phosphorylation/dephosphorylation provides a mechanism for differential regulation of sodium channels by neurotrophins and tyrosine phosphorylation in unmyelinated axons and dendrites, where Na(V)1.2 channels are expressed in brain neurons.

Abstract
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) causes persistent lymphocytosis, a preneoplastic, polyclonal expansion of B lymphocytes. The expansion increases viral transmission to new hosts, but the mechanisms of this expansion have not been determined. We hypothesized that BLV infection contributes to B-cell expansion by signaling initiated via viral transmembrane protein motifs undergoing tyrosine phosphorylation. Viral mimicry of host cell proteins is a well-demonstrated mechanism by which viruses may increase propagation or decrease recognition by the host immune system. The cytoplasmic tail of BLV transmembrane protein gp30 (TM) has multiple areas of homology to motifs of host cell signaling proteins, including two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) and two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIMs), which are homologous to B-cell receptor and inhibitory co-receptor motifs. Signaling by these motifs in B cells typically relies on tyrosine phosphorylation, followed by interactions with Src-homology-2 (SH2) domains of nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinases or phosphatases. Phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic tail of TM was tested in four systems including ex vivo cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells from BLV infected cows, BLV-expressing fetal lamb kidney cell and bat lung cell lines, and DT40 B cells transfected with a fusion of mouse extracellular CD8alpha and cytoplasmic TM. No phosphorylation of TM was detected in our experiments in any of the cell types utilized, or with various stimulation methods. Detection was attempted by immunoblotting for phosphotyrosines, or by metabolic labeling of cells. Thus BLV TM is not likely to modify host signal pathways through interactions between phosphorylated tyrosines of the ITAM or ITIM motifs and host-cell tyrosine kinases or phosphatases.

Abstract
The polyoma virus region expressed early in the lytic cycle encodes three proteins, or T-antigens, that together cause the infected cell to enter the cell cycle and so provide a suitable cellular environment for replication of the viral genome. Under some circumstances infection does not kill the cell, but the T-antigens are still produced, resulting in the cell becoming transformed and tumorigenic. Most of this transforming action is exerted by the middle T-antigen, which has the ability to convert established cell lines to an oncogenic state. Middle T is a membrane bound polypeptide that interacts with a number of the proteins used by tyrosine kinase associated receptors to stimulate mitogenesis, so MT can be considered as a permanently active analogue of a receptor. Through a defined series of interactions, MT assembles a large multi-protein complex at the cell membrane, consisting of MT, the core dimer of protein phosphatase 2A, an src-family tyrosine kinase, and via phosphotyrosines, ShcA, phosphatidylinositol (3') kinase, and phospholipase Cgamma-1. Tyrosine phosphorylation stimulates PI3K and PLCgamma-1 enzymatic activity, and on ShcA creates binding sites for Grb2 with its associated Sos1 and Gab1. This activates p21(ras), and hence, the MAP kinase cascade. Consequently, MT can be used as a model for studying cell transformation and growth factor receptor signalling pathways.

Abstract
3-Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) plays a central role in signal transduction pathways that activate phosphoinositide 3-kinase. Despite its key role as an upstream activator of enzymes such as protein kinase B and p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase, the regulatory mechanisms controlling PDK1 activity are poorly understood. PDK1 has been reported to be constitutively active in resting cells and not further activated by growth factor stimulation (Casamayor, A., Morrice, N. A., and Alessi, D. R. (1999) Biochem. J. 342, 287-292). Here, we report that PDK1 becomes tyrosine-phosphorylated and translocates to the plasma membrane in response to pervanadate and insulin. Following pervanadate treatment, PDK1 kinase activity increased 1.5- to 3-fold whereas the activity of PDK1 associated with the plasma membrane increased approximately 6-fold. The activity of PDK1 localized to the plasma membrane was also increased by insulin treatment. Three tyrosine phosphorylation sites of PDK1 (Tyr-9 and Tyr-373/376) were identified using in vivo labeling and mass spectrometry. Using site-directed mutants, we show that, although phosphorylation on Tyr-373/376 is important for PDK1 activity, phosphorylation on Tyr-9 has no effect on the activity of the kinase. Both of these residues can be phosphorylated by v-Src tyrosine kinase in vitro, and co-expression of v-Src leads to tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of PDK1. Thus, these data suggest that PDK1 activity is regulated by reversible phosphorylation, possibly by a member of the Src kinase family.

Abstract
This review describes a mechanism of viral transformation involving activation of cellular signaling pathways. We focus on four viral oncoproteins: the E5 protein of bovine papillomavirus, which activates the platelet-derived growth factor beta receptor; gp55 of spleen focus forming virus, which activates the erythropoietin receptor; polyoma virus middle T antigen, which resembles an activated receptor tyrosine kinase; and LMP-1 of Epstein-Barr virus, which mimics an activated tumor necrosis factor receptor. These examples indicate that diverse viruses induce cell transformation by activating cellular signal transduction pathways. Study of this mechanism of viral transformation will provide new insights into viral tumorigenesis and cellular signal transduction.

Abstract
Herpesvirus ateles is a gamma-2-herpesvirus which naturally infects spider monkeys (Ateles spp.) and causes malignant lymphoproliferative disorders in various other New World primates. The genomic sequence of herpesvirus ateles strain 73 revealed a close relationship to herpesvirus saimiri, with a high degree of variability within the left terminus of the coding region. A spliced mRNA transcribed from this region was detected in New World monkey T-cell lines transformed by herpesvirus ateles in vitro or derived from T cells of infected Saguinus oedipus. The encoded viral protein, termed Tio, shows restricted homology to the oncoprotein StpC and to the tyrosine kinase-interacting protein Tip, two gene products responsible for the T-cell-transforming and oncogenic phenotype of herpesvirus saimiri group C strains. Tio was detectable in lysates of the transformed T lymphocytes. Dimer formation was observed after expression of recombinant Tio. After cotransfection, Tio was phosphorylated in vivo by the protein tyrosine kinases Lck and Src and less efficiently by Fyn. Stable complexes of these Src family kinases with the viral protein were detected in lysates of the transfected cells. Binding analyses indicated a direct interaction of Tio with the SH3 domains of Lyn, Hck, Lck, Src, Fyn, and Yes. In addition, tyrosine-phosphorylated Tio bound to the SH2 domains of Lck, Src, or Fyn. Thus, herpesvirus ateles-encoded Tio may contribute to viral T-cell transformation by influencing the function of Src family kinases.

Abstract
Virus replication and spreading in a host population depends on highly specific interactions of viral proteins with infected cells, resulting in subversion of multiple cellular signal transduction pathways. For instance, viral proteins cause cell cycle progression of the infected host cell in order to establish a cellular environment favourable for virus replication. Of equal importance for successful virus propagation is virus-mediated attenuation of a host's immune response. Many of the pathways controlling these aspects of cell behaviour are regulated by cellular tyrosine kinases. One particular family of these enzymes, Src family kinases, are involved in processing signals emanating from the plasma membrane upon stimulation by growth factors, by cell-substratum or by cell-cell contact. Two families of DNA viruses, polyoma- and herpesviruses, encode proteins targeted at tyrosine kinases. The middle-T antigens expressed by mouse and hamster polyomavirus associate with and activate Src family tyrosine kinases. Two members of the herpes family of DNA viruses, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and herpesvirus saimiri (HVS), encode proteins, LMP2A and Tip, respectively, that associate with cellular tyrosine kinases of the Src and Syk/Zap family. Upon association with these viral proteins, the activity of these tyrosine kinases is changed resulting in altered signal output. Middle-T, LMP2A and Tip are therefore excellent tools to study the regulation of Src family kinases.
