Function
Docking protein which plays a central coordinating role for tyrosine-kinase-based signaling related to cell adhesion. May function in transmitting growth control signals between focal adhesions at the cell periphery and the mitotic spindle in response to adhesion or growth factor signals initiating cell proliferation. May play an important role in integrin beta-1 or B cell antigen receptor (BCR) mediated signaling in B- and T-cells. Integrin beta-1 stimulation leads to recruitment of various proteins including CRK, NCK and SHPTP2 to the tyrosine phosphorylated form. Required for correct adhesion and migration of T-cells (PubMed:17174122).
HEF1 interacts with AurA and is required for the activation of AurA kinase. Together, these data suggest a model in which an initial interaction of HEF1 with AurA prior to mitotic entry activates AurA, which then phosphorylates HEF1, promoting dissociation of the two proteins.
