Abstract
The present invention relates to variant SH2 domains for binding a phosphotyrosine (pTyr)-containing peptide. The variant SH2 domains of the present invention include a parent SH2 domain having at least one amino acid substitution in a pre-defined region of 15 amino acid positions of the parent SR2 domain, wherein said at least one amino acid substitution increases the affinity of the variant SH2 domain for the pTyr-containing peptide relative to the parent SH2 domain. The present application relates also to methods of using the variant SH2 domains in the treatment of protein kinase-associated disorders, or the diagnosis or prognosis of protein kinase-associated disorders, for isolating and measuring the concentration of pTyr-containing molecules, and as reagents in research.
