Lipid-binding START domain of mammalian STARD1-STARD15 and related proteins; This family includes the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR)-related lipid transfer (START) domains of mammalian STARD1-STARD15, and related domains, such as the START domain of the Arabidopsis homeobox protein GLABRA 2. The mammalian STARDs are grouped into 8 subfamilies. This family belongs to the SRPBCC (START/RHO_alpha_C/PITP/Bet_v1/CoxG/CalC) domain superfamily of proteins that bind hydrophobic ligands. SRPBCC domains have a deep hydrophobic ligand-binding pocket. For some members of this family, specific lipids that bind in this pocket are known; these include cholesterol (STARD1/STARD3/ STARD4/STARD5), 25-hydroxycholesterol (STARD5), phosphatidylcholine (STARD2/ STARD7/STARD10), phosphatidylethanolamine (STARD10) and ceramides (STARD11). The START domain is found either alone or in association with other domains. Mammalian STARDs participate in the control of various cellular processes including lipid trafficking between intracellular compartments, lipid metabolism, and modulation of signaling events. Mutation or altered expression of STARDs is linked to diseases such as cancer, genetic disorders, and autoimmune disease. The Arabidopsis homeobox protein GLABRA 2 suppresses root hair formation in hairless epidermal root cells. Pssm-ID: 176851 [Multi-domain] Cd Length: 193 Bit Score: 167.90 E-value: 5.29e-48

Lipid-binding START domain of mammalian STARD10 and related proteins; This subfamily includes the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR)-related lipid transfer (START) domains of mammalian STARD10 (also known as CGI-52, PTCP-like, and SDCCAG28). The START domain family belongs to the SRPBCC (START/RHO_alpha_C/PITP/Bet_v1/CoxG/CalC) domain superfamily of proteins that bind hydrophobic ligands. SRPBCC domains have a deep hydrophobic ligand-binding pocket. STARD10 binds phophatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. This protein is widely expressed and is synthesized constitutively in many organs. It may function in the liver in the export of phospholipids into bile. It is concentrated in the sperm flagellum, and may play a role in energy metabolism. In the mammary gland it may participate in the enrichment of lipids in milk, and be a potential marker of differentiation. Its expression is induced in this gland during gestation and lactation. It is overexpressed in mammary tumors from Neu/ErbB2 transgenic mice, in several breast carcinoma cell lines, and in 35% of primary human breast cancers, and may cooperate with c-erbB receptor signaling in breast oncogenesis. It is a potential marker of disease outcome in breast cancer; loss of STARD10 expression in breast cancer strongly predicts an aggressive disease course. The lipid transfer activity of STRAD10 is downregulated by phosphorylation of its Ser284 by CK2 (casein kinase 2). Pssm-ID: 176880 Cd Length: 222 Bit Score: 55.34 E-value: 1.86e-08

Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; PH domains have diverse functions, but in general are involved in targeting proteins to the appropriate cellular location or in the interaction with a binding partner. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. Less than 10% of PH domains bind phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs) with high affinity and specificity. PH domains are distinguished from other PIP-binding domains by their specific high-affinity binding to PIPs with two vicinal phosphate groups: PtdIns(3,4)P2, PtdIns(4,5)P2 or PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 which results in targeting some PH domain proteins to the plasma membrane. A few display strong specificity in lipid binding. Any specificity is usually determined by loop regions or insertions in the N-terminus of the domain, which are not conserved across all PH domains. PH domains are found in cellular signaling proteins such as serine/threonine kinase, tyrosine kinases, regulators of G-proteins, endocytotic GTPases, adaptors, as well as cytoskeletal associated molecules and in lipid associated enzymes.

Lipid-binding START domain of mammalian STARD4, -5, -6, and related proteins; This subfamily includes the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR)-related lipid transfer (START) domains of mammalian STARD4, -5, and -6. The START domain family belongs to the SRPBCC (START/RHO_alpha_C/PITP/Bet_v1/CoxG/CalC) domain superfamily of proteins that bind hydrophobic ligands. SRPBCC domains have a deep hydrophobic ligand-binding pocket. STARD4 plays an important role in steroidogenesis, trafficking cholesterol into mitochondria. It specifically binds cholesterol, and demonstrates limited binding to another sterol, 7a-hydroxycholesterol. STARD4 and STARD5 are ubiquitously expressed, with highest levels in liver and kidney. STRAD5 functions in the kidney within the proximal tubule cells where it is associated with the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), and may participate in ER-associated cholesterol transport. It binds cholesterol and 25-hydroxycholesterol. Expression of the gene encoding STARD5 is increased by ER stress, and its mRNA and protein levels are elevated in a type I diabetic mouse model of human diabetic nephropathy. STARD6 is expressed in male germ cells of normal rats, and in the steroidogenic Leydig cells of perinatal hypothyroid testes. It may play a pivotal role in the steroidogenesis as well as in the spermatogenesis of normal rats. STARD6 has also been detected in the rat nervous system, and may participate in neurosteroid synthesis. Pssm-ID: 176876 Cd Length: 206 Bit Score: 53.62 E-value: 7.18e-08

Myosin X-like Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, repeat 3; MyoX, a MyTH-FERM myosin, is a molecular motor that has crucial functions in the transport and/or tethering of integrins in the actin-based extensions known as filopodia, microtubule binding, and in netrin-mediated axon guidance. It functions as a dimer. MyoX walks on bundles of actin, rather than single filaments, unlike the other unconventional myosins. MyoX is present in organisms ranging from humans to choanoflagellates, but not in Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans.MyoX consists of a N-terminal motor/head region, a neck made of 3 IQ motifs, and a tail consisting of a coiled-coil domain, a PEST region, 3 PH domains, a myosin tail homology 4 (MyTH4), and a FERM domain at its very C-terminus. The first PH domain in the MyoX tail is a split-PH domain, interupted by the second PH domain such that PH 1a and PH 1b flanks PH 2. The third PH domain (PH 3) follows the PH 1b domain. This cd contains the third MyoX PH repeat. PLEKHH3/Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain containing, family H (with MyTH4 domain) member 3 is also part of this CD and like MyoX contains a FERM domain, a MyTH4 domain, and a single PH domain. Not much is known about the function of PLEKHH3. PH domains have diverse functions, but in general are involved in targeting proteins to the appropriate cellular location or in the interaction with a binding partner. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized.

Ceramide-binding START domain of mammalian STARD11 and related domains; This subfamily includes the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR)-related lipid transfer (START) domains of mammalian STARD11 and related domains. The START domain family belongs to the SRPBCC (START/RHO_alpha_C/PITP/Bet_v1/CoxG/CalC) domain superfamily of proteins that bind hydrophobic ligands. SRPBCC domains have a deep hydrophobic ligand-binding pocket. STARD11 can mediate transfer of the natural ceramide isomers, dihydroceramide and phytoceramide, as well as ceramides having C14, C16, C18, and C20 chains. They can also transfer diacylglycerol, but with a lower efficiency. STARD11 is synthesized from two major transcripts: a larger one encoding Goodpasture antigen-binding protein (GPBP)/ceramide transporter long form (CERTL); and a smaller one encoding GPBPdelta26/CERT, which is deleted for 26 amino acids. Both splicing variants mediate ceramide transfer from the ER to the Golgi, in a non-vesicular manner. It is likely that these two carry out different functions in specific sub-cellular locations. These proteins have roles in brain homeostasis and disease processes. GPBP/CERTL exists in multiple isoforms originating from alternative translation initiation sites and post-translational modifications. Goodpasture syndrome is a human disorder caused by antibodies directed against the a3-chain of collagen type IV. GPBP/CERTL binds and phosphorylates this antigen. The human gene encoding STARD11 is referred to as COL4A3BP referring to its collagen binding function. It is unknown whether the ceramide-transfer function of GPBP/CERTL is related to this collagen interaction. The expression of GPBP/CERTL is elevated in these and other spontaneous autoimmune disorders including cutaneous lupus erythematosus, pemphigoid, and lichen planus. GPBL/CERTL contains an N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain (PH), which targets the protein to the Golgi, a middle region containing two serine-rich domains (SR1, SR2), a FFAT (two phenylalanine amino acids in an acidic tract) motif which is involved in endoplasmic reticulum targeting, and this C-terminal SMART domain. The shorter splicing variant, CERT, lacks the SR2 domain. Pssm-ID: 176881 Cd Length: 235 Bit Score: 47.72 E-value: 8.76e-06

Metazoan SWAP-70 contains an N-terminal EF-hand motif, a centrally located PH domain, and a C-terminal coiled-coil domain. The PH domain of Metazoan SWAP-70 contains a phosphoinositide-binding site and a nuclear localization signal (NLS), which localize SWAP-70 to the plasma membrane and nucleus, respectively. The NLS is a sequence of four Lys residues located at the N-terminus of the C-terminal a-helix; this is a unique characteristic of the Metazoan SWAP-70 PH domain. The SWAP-70 PH domain binds PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(4,5)P2 embedded in lipid bilayer vesicles. There are additional plant SWAP70 proteins, but these are not included in this hierarchy. Rice SWAP70 (OsSWAP70) exhibits GEF activity toward the its Rho GTPase, OsRac1, and regulates chitin-induced production of reactive oxygen species and defense gene expression in rice. Arabidopsis SWAP70 (AtSWAP70) plays a role in both PAMP- and effector-triggered immunity. Plant SWAP70 contains both DH and PH domains, but their arrangement is the reverse of that in typical DH-PH-type Rho GEFs, wherein the DH domain is flanked by a C-terminal PH domain. PH domains have diverse functions, but in general are involved in targeting proteins to the appropriate cellular location or in the interaction with a binding partner. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. Less than 10% of PH domains bind phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs) with high affinity and specificity. PH domains are distinguished from other PIP-binding domains by their specific high-affinity binding to PIPs with two vicinal phosphate groups: PtdIns(3,4)P2, PtdIns(4,5)P2 or PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 which results in targeting some PH domain proteins to the plasma membrane. A few display strong specificity in lipid binding. Any specificity is usually determined by loop regions or insertions in the N-terminus of the domain, which are not conserved across all PH domains. PH domains are found in cellular signaling proteins such as serine/threonine kinase, tyrosine kinases, regulators of G-proteins, endocytotic GTPases, adaptors, as well as cytoskeletal associated molecules and in lipid associated enzymes.
