Six X-linked agammaglobulinemia-causing missense mutations in the src homology 2 domain of Bruton's tyrosine kinase: Phosphotyrosine-binding and circular dichroism analysis
Src homology 2 (SH2) domains recognize phosphotyrosine (pY)-containing sequences and thereby mediate their association to ligands. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase, in which mutations cause a hereditary immunodeficiency disease, X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). Mutations have been found in all Btk domains, including SH2, We have analyzed the structural and
