Gene Summary
Adapter protein that links cell surface receptor tyrosine phosphorylation to downstream signaling pathways and effectors, many of which are involved in regulation of the actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:8646773). Recruited by Dscam1/Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule homolog and InR/insulin-like receptor (PubMed:10892653, PubMed:12702880). Recruits Pak to membranes, probably when dock/dreadlocks is associated with activated receptors (PubMed:10399914). Required for guidance and targeting of photoreceptor (R cell) axon projections but not for axon outgrowth, differentiation or target induction in the developing eye (PubMed:10399914, PubMed:12702880, PubMed:8646773, PubMed:9482841). As part of a signaling pathway that involves the lbm/late bloomer protein, involved in synapse formation of the RP3 motorneuron at the muscle 7/6 cleft, probably by stimulating axon defasciculation from other SNb neurons (PubMed:10068645).

NEGATIVE REGULATORS OF INSULIN-LIKE RECEPTOR SIGNALING PATHWAY -
Negative regulators of the Insulin-like Receptor signaling pathway suppress Insulin-like receptor (InR) activation or the activity of intracellular effectors. (Adapted from FBrf0232297, FBrf0230017 and FBrf0229989).

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Subunit Structure (UniProtKB)

Interacts (via SH2 and SH3 domains) with Dscam1 (via cytoplasmic domain); the interaction is direct and requires Dscam1 to be phosphorylated (PubMed:10892653). Interacts (via SH2 and SH3 domains) with InR/Insulin-like receptor (via C-terminal cytoplasmic region); the interaction requires InR kinase activity, probably for autophosphorylation stimulated by insulin signaling (PubMed:12702880). Interacts with Ptp61F (via C-terminus); this interaction is independent of insulin stimulation (PubMed:21707536, PubMed:8663600). Interacts (via SH3 domain 2) with Pak (via N-terminal PXXP motif) (PubMed:10399914).

(UniProt, Q8IPW2)
Post Translational Modification

Phosphorylated by Src42A and possibly by other tyrosine kinases (PubMed:12014990). Constitutively dephosphorylated by its binding partner Ptp61F (PubMed:12014990).

(UniProt, Q8IPW2)
Domain

Possesses 3 SH3 domains, which bind polyproline motifs, and 1 SH2 domain that binds phosphotyrosine (PubMed:8646773). The SH2 and SH3 domains are cooperatively involved in the binding of the cytoplasmic domains of Dscam1 and InR (PubMed:10892653, PubMed:12702880). SH3 domain 1 preferentially binds Dscam1 PXXP motif 1 (PubMed:10892653). SH3 domain 2 preferentially binds Dscam1 polyproline tract (PubMed:10892653). SH3 domain 3 preferentially binds Dscam1 PXXP motif 2 (PubMed:10892653). Interaction of the SH2 domain with Dscam1 requires Dscam1 to be phosphorylated (PubMed:10892653). InR can interact with either the SH3 domains (all 3 domains required) or the SH2 domain (PubMed:12702880). Only SH3 domain 2 binding activity is essential, but not sufficient, for R cell projection targeting (PubMed:9482841). SH3 domain 1, SH3 domain 2 and the SH2 binding activities contribute to R cell targeting but have redundant functions (PubMed:9482841). SH3 domain 2 and the SH2 domain are both essential for targeting and patterning of inner optic ganglion neurons (PubMed:9482841). SH3 domain 2 is necessary and sufficient for binding to Pak (PubMed:10399914).

Testis-specificity index

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

External Data
Subunit Structure (UniProtKB)
Interacts (via SH2 and SH3 domains) with Dscam1 (via cytoplasmic domain); the interaction is direct and requires Dscam1 to be phosphorylated (PubMed:10892653). Interacts (via SH2 and SH3 domains) with InR/Insulin-like receptor (via C-terminal cytoplasmic region); the interaction requires InR kinase activity, probably for autophosphorylation stimulated by insulin signaling (PubMed:12702880). Interacts with Ptp61F (via C-terminus); this interaction is independent of insulin stimulation (PubMed:21707536, PubMed:8663600). Interacts (via SH3 domain 2) with Pak (via N-terminal PXXP motif) (PubMed:10399914).

      dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene is tested in an RNAi screen for effects on actin-based lamella formation.

      dock facilitates synapse formation by the RP3 motoneuron and is required for guidance of some interneuronal axons. dock mediated signalling may be important in remodelling the RP3 growth cone's cytoskelton.

      Loss of zygotic dock function causes a selective delay in synapse formation by the RP3 motoneuron at the cleft between muscles 7 and 6. In late stage 16 mutant embryos these muscles often lack innervation. By the third larval instar muscles have become innervated by RP3. dock mutants also show subtle defects in the CNS longitudinal axon pathway.

      dock can couple signals in either an SH2-dependent or an SH2-independent fashion in photoreceptor growth cones. dock displays different domain requirements in different neurons.

      Isolated in a yeast two-hybrid system, by screening for Ptp61F-interacting proteins.

      Mutations in dock disrupt photoreceptor cell axon guidance and targeting. Genetic mosaic analysis and cell-type-specific expression of dock transgenes demonstrate dock is required in receptor cells for proper innervation.
