SLP-76 (pp76) was molecularly cloned as a novel 533-amino acid hematopoietic-specific protein containing a single C-terminal SH2 domain. In vitro translation confirmed direct association of SLP-76 with GST/Grb2 fusion protein. The SH2 domain of SLP-76 precipitated tyrosine phosphoproteins from Jurkat lysates, and anti-PLC-γ1 antibody co-precipitated a protein with identical electrophoretic mobility to SLP-76, establishing SLP-76 as a Grb2-associated adaptor that also interacts with PLC-γ1. |

SLP-76 is a direct substrate of ZAP-70 tyrosine kinase. SLP-76 phosphorylation is diminished in T cells expressing catalytically inactive ZAP-70, SLP-76 is preferentially phosphorylated by ZAP-70 in vitro and in heterologous cells. Overexpression of wild-type SLP-76 hyperactivates TCR signaling, while a tyrosine-phosphorylation-deficient SLP-76 attenuates it. SLP-76 interacts with both Grb2 and PLC-γ1, linking ZAP-70 to Ras and calcium pathways. |

In NK cells, SLP-76 is required for synergistic activation by co-activation receptor pairs (NKG2D + 2B4). Each receptor in a synergistic pair selectively phosphorylates distinct tyrosine residues (Y113 or Y128) of SLP-76, enabling Vav1 binding. Combined phosphorylation of both Y113 and Y128 underlies synergistic Ca2+ mobilization and NK cell cytotoxicity. |

SLP-76 is ubiquitinated at lysine 30 and targeted for proteasomal degradation during TCR signaling. This ubiquitination is mediated by HPK-1-induced serine 376 phosphorylation. Loss of K30 ubiquitination results in enhanced anti-CD3-induced ERK and JNK activation, establishing a two-step negative feedback: HPK1→S376 phosphorylation→K30 ubiquitination→proteasomal degradation of SLP-76. |

Triple-color FRET in live human T cells revealed that Nck and Vav1 form constitutive dimers independently of T cell activation and independently of SLP-76–Nck association. After TCR stimulation, SLP-76 phosphorylation enables Nck binding, and the trimolecular SLP-76–Nck–Vav1 complex forms. A point mutation in Vav1 abolishing Nck binding impaired actin rearrangement, confirming functional importance of Nck–Vav1 dimers. |

ADAP contains three binding sites for the SLP-76 SH2 domain, and multipoint binding to ADAP oligomerizes SLP-76 in vitro. All three ADAP binding sites are critical for SLP-76 microcluster assembly in stimulated T cells, with any combination of two sites partially inducing microclusters. This multipoint SLP-76–ADAP interaction facilitates assembly of SLP-76 signaling microclusters. |

SLP-76 is a binding partner for the cytosolic tail of RAGE. SLP-76 binds RAGE through its sterile α motif (SAM) domain to mediate downstream signaling. Genetic deficiency of RAGE or SLP-76 reduces AGE-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, ERK1/2, and IKKα/β as well as cytokine release. Delivery of TAT-SAM peptide (blocking RAGE–SLP-76 interaction) attenuates inflammatory cytokine production and protects mice from lethal sepsis. |
