Src homology 3 domain of Signal Transducing Adaptor Molecule 2 STAM2, also called EAST (Epidermal growth factor receptor-associated protein with SH3 and TAM domain) or Hbp (Hrs binding protein), is part of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT-0). It plays a role in sorting mono-ubiquinated endosomal cargo for trafficking to the lysosome for degradation. It is also involved in the regulation of exocytosis. STAMs were discovered as proteins that are highly phosphorylated following cytokine and growth factor stimulation. They function in cytokine signaling and surface receptor degradation, as well as regulate Golgi morphology. They associate with many proteins including Jak2 and Jak3 tyrosine kinases, Hrs, AMSH, and UBPY. STAM adaptor proteins contain VHS (Vps27, Hrs, STAM homology), ubiquitin interacting (UIM), and SH3 domains. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.
