Abstract excerpt
Protein functions are largely affected by their conformations. This is exemplified in proteins containing modular domains. However, the evolutionary dynamics that define and adapt the conformation of such modular proteins remain elusive. Here we show that cis-interactions between the C-terminal phosphotyrosines and SH2 domain within the protein tyrosine phosphatase Shp2 can be tuned by an adaptor protein, Grb2....
