Zusammenfassung:
The Slit-Robo GTPase-activating protein 3 (srGAP3) has been implicated in different critical aspects of neuronal development. These findings have mainly been based on the characterisation of the three conserved globular N-terminal domains, while the function of the C-terminal region (CTR) is still unknown. We show that this predicted unstructured region acts as an adaptor by binding to the endocytic proteins Amphiphysin, Endophilin-A2, Endophilin-A1, as well as the Ras signalling protein Grb2. All these interactions depend on a single proline-rich motif in the CTR and the Src-homology 3 domains of the binding partners. Via these interactions srGAP3 could link receptor signalling events to the endocytic machinery.
