Multi-domain signaling enzymes are often regulated through extensive inter-domain interactions, and disruption of inter-domain interfaces by mutations can lead to aberrant signaling and diseases. For example, the tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 contains two phosphotyrosine recognition domains that auto-inhibit its catalytic domain. SHP2 is canonically activated by binding of these non-catalytic domains to phosphoproteins, which destabilizes its auto-inhibited state, and several mutations at the main auto-inhibitory interface have been shown to hyperactivate SHP2 in cancers and developmental disorders. Hundreds of clinically observed mutations in SHP2 have not been characterized, but their locations suggest alternative modes of dysregulation. Here, we perform deep mutational scanning on full-length SHP2 and the isolated phosphatase domain to dissect mechanisms of dysregulation. Our analysis reveals mechanistically diverse mutational effects and identifies key intra- and inter-domain interactions that contribute to SHP2 activity, dynamics, and regulation. Our datasets also provide insights into the potential pathogenicity of previously uncharacterized clinical variants.
多结构域信号酶通常通过广泛的结构域间相互作用进行调节,而突变导致的结构域间界面破坏可引发异常信号传导和疾病。例如,酪氨酸磷酸酶SHP2包含两个磷酸酪氨酸识别结构域,它们可自动抑制其催化结构域。SHP2通常通过这些非催化结构域与磷酸化蛋白结合而被激活,这会破坏其自动抑制状态,并且已证明主要自动抑制界面处的几个突变会在癌症和发育障碍中使SHP2过度激活。在SHP2中临床上观察到的数百个突变尚未得到表征,但其位置提示了失调的替代模式。在这里,我们对全长SHP2和分离的磷酸酶结构域进行深度突变扫描,以剖析失调机制。我们的分析揭示了机制多样的突变效应,并确定了有助于SHP2活性、动力学和调节的关键结构域内和结构域间相互作用。我们的数据集还为先前未表征的临床变体的潜在致病性提供了见解。
