GAB2 (p97) is a scaffolding protein that, upon cytokine, growth factor, or antigen receptor stimulation, becomes tyrosyl phosphorylated and associates with SH2 domain-containing proteins including SHP2 and PI3K. Expression of p97 mutants unable to bind SHP2 blocks cytokine-induced c-fos promoter activation, inhibiting Elk1-mediated and STAT5-mediated transactivation, without inhibiting MAPK activation, revealing a novel pathway to immediate-early gene activation. |

GAB2 contains a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and, upon tyrosine phosphorylation, physically interacts with SHP2 and GRB2. GAB2 has an inhibitory effect on Elk-1-dependent transcription triggered by oncogenic Ras or growth factors, while having a similar function to GAB1 in ERK activation, indicating distinct roles in cytoplasmic-nuclear signal transduction. |

Overexpression of GAB2 enhanced MAPK activity and macrophage differentiation but reduced proliferation, while a Gab2 mutant unable to bind SHP2 failed to potentiate MAPK activity and inhibited macrophage differentiation, demonstrating that GAB2-SHP2 interaction is essential for the M-CSF differentiation signal. |

GAB2 is phosphorylated by ZAP-70 and co-precipitates with ZAP-70, LAT, and CD3ζ upon TCR stimulation. Overexpression of GAB2 inhibits NF-AT activation and IL-2 production; this inhibitory function requires SHP2-binding sites and the PH domain of GAB2, and depends on PI3K recruitment. GAB2 functions as a switch molecule toward inhibition of TCR signal transduction by recruiting inhibitory molecules. |

In IL-2-stimulated T lymphocytes, SHP-2 binds tyrosine residues Y614 (via N-terminal SH2) and Y643 (via C-terminal SH2) of GAB2. Mutation of Y614 alone is sufficient to prevent SHP-2 recruitment, and this blocks ERK activation and c-fos SRE transcription, demonstrating that GAB2-SHP2 interaction is required for ERK activation in response to IL-2. SRE induction requires both ERK-dependent (via Gab2/SHP2) and Rho-dependent signals. |
