%X The rapid identification of protein-protein interactions has been significantly enabled by mass spectrometry (MS) proteomics-based methods, including affinity purification-MS, crosslinking-MS, and proximity-labeling proteomics. While these methods can reveal networks of interacting proteins, they cannot reveal how specific protein-protein interactions alter cell signaling or protein function. For instance, when two proteins interact, there can be emergent signaling processes driven purely by the individual activities of those proteins being co-localized. Alternatively, protein-protein interactions can allosterically regulate function, enhancing or suppressing activity in response to binding. In this work, we investigate the interaction between the tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B and the adaptor protein Grb2, which have been annotated as binding partners in a number of proteomics studies. This interaction has been postulated to co-localize PTP1B with its substrate IRS-1 by forming a ternary complex, thereby enhancing the dephosphorylation of IRS-1 to suppress insulin signaling. Here, we report that Grb2 binding to PTP1B also allosterically enhances PTP1B catalytic activity. We show that this interaction is dependent on the proline-rich region of PTP1B, which interacts with the C-terminal SH3 domain of Grb2. Using NMR spectroscopy and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) we show that Grb2 binding alters PTP1B structure and/or dynamics. Finally, we use MS proteomics to identify other interactors of the PTP1B proline-rich region that may also regulate PTP1B function similarly to Grb2. This work presents one of the first examples of a protein allosterically regulating the enzymatic activity of PTP1B and lays the foundation for discovering new mechanisms of PTP1B regulation in cell signaling.
