Switch #: SWTI000619

Switch type: Binary

Switch subtype: Pre-translational

Description:
Alternative splicing removes the SH2-binding motif of Disabled homolog 1 (Dab1), abrogating binding to Neuronal proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src (Src). Splice variants 2 and 3 (only containing one of the YQxI motifs, i.e. Y185 and Y198) exhibit decreased tyrosine phosphorylation, suggesting both motifs are required for full activation of Dab1. Dab1 is likely to recruit Neuronal proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src (Src) via these two YQxI motifs, which subsequently phosphorylates adjacent YxVP motifs (here). This was also suggested for Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit alpha (Pik3r1) and Suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (Socs2). Gao et al. (2012) (here) suggests that the ability of different Dab1 isoforms to recruit distinct sets of SH2 domains allows a fine-tuning role for Dab1 splicing in the intricate series of events that underlie neuronal migration (See also Katyal & Godbout (2004) (here) and Gao et al. (2010) (here)).
