SPRY1 (sprouty homolog 1) is a 34-38kD member of the sprouty family of proteins. It is widely expressed, being found in multiple embryonic and adult tissues. SPRY1 is considered a negative regulator of cellular signaling. In particular, it appears to both inhibit MAP kinase signaling following RTK activation, and block TCR signaling following antigen activation. It interacts with a number of molecules, including PLC-gama-1, LAT, CBL, caveolin-1 and SPRY2. Human SPRY1 is 319 aa in length and contains one CBL-TKB binding site (aa51-57) that is phosphorylated at Tyr53, a Ser-rich region (aa112-131), and a Cys-rich domain (aa181-306) that mediates intracellular translocation. In addition, SPRY1 undergoes serine phosphorylation, ubiquitination and palmitoylation, the latter which induces SPRY1 to associate with cell membranes.
