STS-1 and STS-2, Multi-Enzyme Proteins Equipped to Mediate Protein-Protein Interactions.

STS-1 and STS-2 form a small family of proteins that are involved in the regulation of signal transduction by protein-tyrosine kinases. Both proteins are composed of a UBA domain, an esterase domain, an SH3 domain, and a PGM domain. They use their UBA and SH3 domains to modify or rearrange protein-protein interactions and their PGM domain to catalyze protein-tyrosine dephosphorylation. In this manuscript, we discuss the various proteins that have been found to interact with STS-1 or STS-2 and describe the experiments used to uncover their interactions.
