Src-homology 3 (SH3) domain is a 60-70-amino acid motif present in a large variety of signal transduction and cytoskeletal proteins. We used reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction with degenerate and specific primers and chicken brain mRNA to clone a cDNA that codes for a novel SH3 domain-containing protein. The sequence predicts a 448-amino acid polypeptide with a molecular mass of 51, 971 daltons. In the amino terminus, it shows a very high propensity for alpha-helicity, suggesting coiled-coil and possibly a higher order oligomeric arrangement. In the carboxyl terminus, there is a unique SH3 sequence. In Northern blotting, a major 3.7-kilobase and a minor 7.2-kilobase transcript was detected in most chicken tissues. In immunofluorescence microscopy and immunoelectron microscopy on cultured chicken fibroblasts, the protein was localized to focal adhesions in which it showed a distinct codistribution with the focal adhesion proteins vinculin, talin, and paxillin. Phosphoamino acid analysis showed that in cultured chicken heart fibroblasts, the protein contains phosphoserine, but no phosphothreonine or phosphotyrosine, and that the phosphorylation is not dependent on fibronectin. We propose this protein the name FAP52, for Focal Adhesion Protein of 52 kDa, and suggest that it forms part of the multimolecular complex constituting focal adhesion sites.
