Abstract

The Src Homology 2 (SH2) domain is an emerging biotechnology with applications in basic science, drug discovery, and even diagnostics. The SH2 domains rapid uptake into different areas of research is a direct result of the wealth of information generated on its biochemical, biological, and biophysical role in mammalian cell biology. Functionally, the SH2 domain binds and recognizes specific phosphotyrosine (pTyr) residues in the cell to mediate protein-protein interactions (PPIs) that govern signal transduction networks. These signal transduction networks are responsible for relaying growth and stress state signals to the cell's nucleus, ultimately effecting a change in cell biology. Protein engineers have been able to increase the affinity of SH2 domains for pTyr while also tailoring the domains' specificity to unique amino acid sequences flanking the pTyr residue. In this way, it has been possible to develop unique SH2 variants for use in affinity-purification coupled to mass spectrometry (AP-MS) experiments, microscopy, or even synthetic biology. This chapter outlines methods to tailor the affinity and specificity of virtually any human SH2 domain using a combination of rational engineering and phage-display approaches.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 September 2023.
All research outputs
#17,306,517
of 25,403,829 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#6,005
of 14,188 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#271,057
of 475,573 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#286
of 713 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,403,829 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,188 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 475,573 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 713 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
