Protein Domain : Ras and Rab interactor 1, SH2 domain IPR035867

Type	Domain
Description	RIN1, a member of the RIN (AKA Ras interaction/interference) family, have multifunctional domains including SH2 and proline-rich (PR) domains in the N-terminal region, and RIN-family homology (RH), VPS9 and Ras-association (RA) domains in the C-terminal region. RIN proteins function as Rab5-GEFs [ ]. Previous studies showed that RIN1 interacts with EGF receptors via its SH2 domain and regulates trafficking and degradation of EGF receptors via its interaction with STAM, indicating a vital role for RIN1 in regulating endosomal trafficking of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) []. RIN1 was first identified as a Ras-binding protein that suppresses the activated RAS2 allele in S. cerevisiae. RIN1 binds to the activated Ras through its carboxyl-terminal domain and this Ras-binding domain also binds to 14-3-3 proteins as Raf-1 does [].The SH2 domain of RIN1 are thought to interact with the phosphotyrosine-containing proteins, but the physiological partners for this domain are unknown. The proline-rich domain in RIN1 is similar to the consensus SH3 binding regions.
