“…First, the interaction between SLP-76 and ADAP may simply enhance the overall avidity of the interactions that maintain SLP-76 microclusters. Second, in the absence of ADAP, the serinethreonine kinase HPK1 may gain increased access to microclusters, which it may destabilize by promoting the ubiquitylation and degradation of SLP-76 and Gads (di Bartolo et al, 2007;Shui et al, 2007;Patzak et al, 2010;Lasserre et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2012;Coussens et al, 2013). Third, ADAP may contribute to the exclusion or inactivation of the Cbl family E3 ubiquitin ligases, which promote the degradation of LAT, SLP-76, Vav1 and WASP, and attenuate microcluster lifetimes (Krawczyk et al, 2000;Miura-Shimura et al, 2003;Chiang et al, 2004;Barr et al, 2006;Balagopalan et al, 2007Balagopalan et al, , 2011Chiang et al, 2009;Chiang and Hodes, 2011;Reicher et al, 2012).…”
