Abstract excerpt
The delivery of signals from the activated T cell antigen receptor (TCR) inside the cell relies on the protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70 (zeta-associated protein of 70 kDa). A recent crystal structure of inactive full-length ZAP-70 suggests that a central interface formed by the docking of the two SH2 domains of ZAP-70 onto the kinase domain is crucial for suppressing catalytic activity. Here we validate the...
