Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 is a non-enzymatic SH2/SH3 adaptor that links phosphorylated receptors and scaffolds to SOS-family Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factors. It nucleates signaling complexes downstream of EGFR, other receptor tyrosine kinases, antigen receptors, and immune receptors, thereby propagating RAS-MAPK and related signaling pathways.

|---|---|---|---|
| GO:0005886 plasma membrane | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: Upon receptor activation Grb2 is recruited to the plasma membrane (e.g. to phospho-LAT microdomains, activated RTKs) where it nucleates SOS/RAS signaling; a core site of action. Reason: Plasma membrane is where Grb2 assembles active signaling complexes; core. Supporting Evidence: UniProt:Q60631 FUNCTION: Non-enzymatic adapter protein that plays a pivotal role in precisely regulated signaling cascades from cell surface receptors to cellular responses. Engagement of the TCR leads to phosphorylation of LAT, which serves as docking site for GRB2. In turn, GRB2 establishes a connection with SOS1 that acts as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor and serves as a critical regulator of KRAS/RAF1 leading to MAPKs translocation to the nucleus and activation. DOMAIN: The SH3 domains mediate interaction with RALGPS1 and SHB. file:mouse/Grb2/Grb2-deep-research-falcon.md Grb2 is primarily cytosolic but is recruited to signaling complexes at the **plasma membrane** upon receptor activation, including immune microdomains; it also participates in **endocytosis/endosomes** and is described across **cytoplasm, membrane, endosomes, and nucleus** in RTK-activated contexts. |
| GO:0007165 signal transduction | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | MODIFY | Summary: The bare 'signal transduction' is too broad for Grb2; its actual role is coupling RTKs to RAS, so the specific 'Ras protein signal transduction' (or MAPK cascade) child is more informative. Reason: Too general; replace with Ras protein signal transduction. Propagation Review Root cause: TERM SCOPING PROBLEM Failure modes: GRANULARITY MISMATCH Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN005273574 SUPPORTS TRANSFER GRB2-clade node in PTHR46037. Every seed this review identified is a GRB2 ortholog (FB:FBgn0004638, WB:WBGene00004774, RGD:619758, MGI:MGI:95805, UniProtKB:P62993), spanning fly, worm, rodent and human, so adapter-mediated coupling of activated receptors to downstream signalling is soundly ancestral. Checked in the ontology: GO:0007265 is a descendant of GO:0007165, so the replacement is a straightforward parent-to-child refinement and the transfer itself is not in question. MGI:MGI:95805 Β· Grb2 SUPPORTS TRANSFER The target's own IBD seed. Mouse Grb2's own experimental annotation is one of the descendant evidences the PAINT curator used to place the IBD at PTN005273574, so its appearance in this row's WITH/FROM is expected and is a marker that experimental grounding exists on the target itself. The annotation is GO:0005091 guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor adaptor activity (ECO:0000314 IDA x3, PMID:12354753, PMID:8479536, PMID:9199344), all retained as ACCEPT here - the SOS1-recruitment adapter activity that couples receptors to Ras, which is what this row's GO:0007165 to GO:0007265 refinement asserts. Not the same term as this row, which is the normal case for an IBD seed. Note what is NOT the grounding: Grb2's GO:0008180 COP9 signalosome IDA is nearer by term but is MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED in this file, so citing it would lean on evidence this review rejects. UniProtKB:P62993 Β· GRB2 SUPPORTS TRANSFER Human GRB2, the target's direct ortholog. UniProt describes the same SH2/SH3 adapter role - LAT and receptor docking, SOS1 recruitment, KRAS and RAF1 activation - that GO:0007265 names specifically. Proposed replacements: Ras protein signal transduction Supporting Evidence: UniProt:Q60631 FUNCTION: Non-enzymatic adapter protein that plays a pivotal role in precisely regulated signaling cascades from cell surface receptors to cellular responses. Engagement of the TCR leads to phosphorylation of LAT, which serves as docking site for GRB2.

| GO:0001784 phosphotyrosine residue binding | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: Grb2's central SH2 domain recognizes phosphotyrosine motifs (pYxNx, Shc pYVNV) on activated receptors/scaffolds; this is the informative MF underlying its recruitment to activated receptors. Reason: SH2-mediated phosphotyrosine recognition is a core, specific adaptor MF.

| GO:0005154 epidermal growth factor receptor binding | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: Grb2 binds activated EGFR (phospho-Tyr1068/1086) via its SH2 domain, the canonical recruitment event nucleating EGFR->RAS->ERK signaling. A core, well-supported binding function. Reason: Direct SH2 binding to activated EGFR; canonical core interaction. Supporting Evidence: UniProt:Q60631 FUNCTION: Non-enzymatic adapter protein that plays a pivotal role in precisely regulated signaling cascades from cell surface receptors to cellular responses. Engagement of the TCR leads to phosphorylation of LAT, which serves as docking site for GRB2.

| GO:0008180 COP9 signalosome | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: Grb2 is reported associated with the COP9 signalosome, but it is not an established CSN subunit; the assignment is uninformative for Grb2's adaptor function. Reason: Not a mis-transfer of complex membership: the WITH/FROM for this row is only Grb2 itself (MGI:MGI:95805) and human GRB2 (UniProtKB:P62993) at the GRB2-clade node PANTHER:PTN005273574, with no COP9 signalosome subunit (COPS1-COPS8) and no CSN-subunit family anywhere in it, so the propagation step is a faithful GRB2-to-GRB2 ortholog transfer rather than a pattern-10 leak from a CSN family node. What is over-scoped is the source annotation: GRB2 is a 25 kDa SH3-SH2-SH3 adapter, not one of the eight canonical CSN subunits, so the part_of qualifier asserts structural membership where an association is what is documented, and the term says nothing about Grb2's adaptor function. Kept rather than removed because the mouse row does carry experimental (IDA) evidence whose full text is not available here. Propagation Review Root cause: TERM SCOPING PROBLEM Failure modes: ROLE CONFLATION Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN005273574 SUPPORTS TRANSFER This is specifically NOT a pattern-10 mis-transfer of complex membership. The whole WITH/FROM is GRB2 itself (MGI:MGI:95805) plus its human ortholog (UniProtKB:P62993) at the GRB2-clade node of PTHR46037; no COP9 signalosome subunit (COPS1-COPS8) and no CSN-subunit family appears anywhere in it, so the propagation step is a faithful GRB2-to-GRB2 ortholog transfer with no complex-membership leak from a CSN family node. The reservation lies in the scope of the source annotation rather than in the propagation: GRB2 is a 25 kDa SH3-SH2-SH3 adapter and not one of the eight canonical CSN subunits, so a part_of qualifier states structural membership of the complex where an association is what is actually documented. MGI:MGI:95805 Β· Grb2 SUPPORTS TRANSFER The target's own IBD seed. Mouse Grb2 carries its own experimental annotation for GO:0008180 (IDA, PMID:22561606), which is one of the descendant evidences behind the IBD at this node, so its presence here is expected. The cached record for that publication is abstract-only (a Tespa1/TCR-signalling study), so the CSN association could not be read in full here; per the project's rule on not overruling curators from incomplete evidence the row is kept as over-annotated rather than removed. UniProtKB:P62993 Β· GRB2 SUPPORTS TRANSFER Human GRB2, the target's direct ortholog and the origin of the mouse ISO and IEA rows for the same term.
