- Oncogene, Oct. 2, 2001:p. 6270 (One of the major goals of scientists who study signal transduction is to determine the mechanisms that control cross-talk between signaling cascades and to determine how specificity in signaling is achieved. An emerging class of proteins that are major contributors to these processes are adaptor (or adapter) proteins. Adaptor proteins contain a variety of protein-binding modules that link protein-binding partners together and facilitate the creation of larger signaling complexes. By linking specific proteins together, cellular signals can be propagated that elicit an appropriate response from the cell to the environment. Specificity in signaling would be achieved by the type of protein binding modules encoded by the adaptor protein, the sequence of these domains or motifs that would dictate specificity in binding, as well as the subcellular localization and the proximity of binding partners. Thus, adaptor proteins are positioned to regulate cell signaling in a spatial and temporal fashion)

Depending on the functional role of the interacting partner and the specific biological event that is triggered by these interactions, adaptor proteins can participate in the regulation of different signaling pathways)

They mediate interactions between different molecules and contribute to the formation of signaling complexes. Adaptor proteins lack enzymatic activity and interaction domains enable them to connect with other molecules)

They generally contain several modular domains, each of which having its own binding activity, and act by forming complexes with other intracellular-signaling molecules. Signal-transducing adaptor proteins lack enzyme activity, however their activity can be modulated by other signal-transducing enzymes)

Wikipedia description:
Signal transducing adaptor proteins (STAPs) are proteins that are accessory to main proteins in a signal transduction pathway. Adaptor proteins contain a variety of protein-binding modules that link protein-binding partners together and facilitate the creation of larger signaling complexes. These proteins tend to lack any intrinsic enzymatic activity themselves, instead mediating specific protein–protein interactions that drive the formation of protein complexes. Examples of adaptor proteins include MYD88, Grb2 and SHC1.
