Aurora-A regulates the recruitment of TACC3 to mitotic spindle through a phospho-dependent interaction with clathrin heavy chain (CHC). Here, we describe structural basis these interactions, mediated by three motifs in disordered region TACC3. A hydrophobic docking motif binds previously uncharacterized pocket on that is blocked most kinases. Abrogation causes delay late mitosis, consistent cellular distribution complexes. Phosphorylation Ser558 engages conformational switch second from...
Hakai, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, disrupts cell-cell contacts in epithelial cells and is up-regulated human colon gastric adenocarcinomas. Hakai acts through its phosphotyrosine-binding (HYB) domain, which bears a dimeric fold that recognizes the phosphotyrosine motifs of E-cadherin, cortactin, DOK1, other Src substrates. Unlike monomeric nature SH2 domains, architecture HYB domain consists atypical, zinc-coordinated tight homodimer. Here, we report C-terminal truncation mutant (HYB(ΔC)),...
