Signal transducing adapter molecule 1 (STAM)

The protein contains 540 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 59180 Da.

 

Involved in intracellular signal transduction mediated by cytokines and growth factors. Upon IL-2 and GM-CSL stimulation, it plays a role in signaling leading to DNA synthesis and MYC induction. May also play a role in T-cell development. Involved in down-regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase via multivesicular body (MVBs) when complexed with HGS (ESCRT-0 complex). The ESCRT-0 complex binds ubiquitin and acts as sorting machinery that recognizes ubiquitinated receptors and transfers them to further sequential lysosomal sorting/trafficking processes.

CLONING

Stimulation of cells with cytokines results in a signal transduction cascade involving cytokine receptors, Janus kinases (JAKs) and signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs). In order to investigate signal transduction downstream of JAK3 (600173), Takeshita et al. (1996) screened for molecules induced after stimulation of cells with the cytokine IL2 (147680). Their screen identified a novel molecule, which they named STAM for 'signal-transducing adaptor molecule.' They cloned the human STAM cDNA from a T-cell cDNA library and found that it encodes a 540-amino acid polypeptide. The approximately 70-kD protein product was precipitated by anti-phosphotyrosine. Northern blot analysis indicated that STAM was expressed as a 2.9-kb message in all tissue and cell types examined. The STAM sequence contains a Src-homology 3 (SH3) domain and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). Takeshita et al. (1996) suggested that STAM acts as an adaptor molecule in signal transduction pathways from cytokine receptors.

GENE FUNCTION

Asao et al. (1997) showed that HGS (604375) binds to STAM via coiled-coil sequences and appears to regulate proliferation in response to cytokines.

MAPPING

Takeshita et al. (1996) used fluorescence in situ hybridization to map the STAM gene to human chromosome 10p14-p13. ... More on the omim web site
