Phosphotyrosine-binding domains in signal transduction

Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. 2002 Mar;3(3):177-86. doi: 10.1038/nrm759.

Abstract

Protein phosphorylation provides molecular control of complex physiological events within cells. In many cases, phosphorylation on specific amino acids directly controls the assembly of multi-protein complexes by recruiting phospho-specific binding modules. Here, the function, structure, and cell biology of phosphotyrosine-binding domains is discussed.
