YWHAB phospho S184 + S186

Function

Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathways. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner. Negative regulator of osteogenesis. Blocks the nuclear translocation of the phosphorylated form (by AKT1) of SRPK2 and antagonizes its stimulatory effect on cyclin D1 expression resulting in blockage of neuronal apoptosis elicited by SRPK2. Negative regulator of signaling cascades that mediate activation of MAP kinases via AKAP13.

Post-translational modifications

The alpha, brain-specific form differs from the beta form in being phosphorylated. Phosphorylated on Ser-60 by protein kinase C delta type catalytic subunit in a sphingosine-dependent fashion.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the 14-3-3 family.

Cellular localization

• Cytoplasm
• Melanosome
• Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV.
• Vacuole membrane
• (Microbial infection) Upon infection with Chlamydia trachomatis, this protein is associated with the pathogen-containing vacuole membrane where it colocalizes with IncG.
