Syk is a 72-kDa protein-tyrosine kinase that regulates signaling through multiple cell surface receptors including those for antigens, immunoglobulins and proteins of the extracellular matrix. As part of its function, Syk binds a variety of downstream effectors through interactions that are often mediated by motifs that recognize phosphotyrosines. In a search for novel Syk-interacting proteins by yeast two-hybrid analysis, we identified tensin2 as a Syk-binding protein. Syk interacts with a fragment of tensin2 located near the C-terminus that contains SH2 and PTB domains. In epithelial cells, tensin2 localizes both to focal adhesions and to large cytoplasmic puncta. It is within these punctuate structures that Syk and tensin2 are co-localized. The clustering of Syk within these structures leads to its phosphorylation on tyrosine. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
