Abstract
Tensin is an important cytoplasmic phosphoprotein localized to integrin-mediated focal adhesion. It links actin cytoskeleton to extracellular matrix through its N-terminal actin-binding domain and C-terminal phosphotyrosine-binding domain. Studies of knockout mice revealed the critical roles of tensin in skeletal muscle regeneration, renal function and regulation of cell migration. The SH2 domain of tensin interacts with various tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins thus functions as a platform for dis/assembly of signaling molecules. It has also been implicated in recruiting a tumor supperssor protein DLC1 (deleted in live cancer 1) to the focal adhesion, which is required for oncogenic inhibition effect of DLC1 in a phosphotyrosine-independent manner. Here, we report complete chemical shift assignments of the SH2 domain of human tensin2 determined by triple resonance experiments. The resonance assignments serve as a basis for our further functional studies and structure determination by NMR spectroscopy. (BMRB deposits with accession number 16472).
