Binding sites for calcium, lipid and p11 on p36, the substrate of retroviral tyrosine-specific protein kinases.

Biochemical and partial sequence data reveal the two-domain structure of p36. A loose structure of some 30 residues at the amino-terminus contains the phosphorylatable tyrosine and the binding site for the p11 regulatory chain. The following p33 domain retains the lipid-binding site as well as the Ca2+ site which influences the spectral properties of the single tryptophan and one tyrosine. The combined sequence data covering about 25% of the molecule identify p36 as a unique polypeptide.
