Src Homology 3 domain superfamily; Src Homology 3 (SH3) domains are protein interaction domains that bind proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. Thus, they are referred to as proline-recognition domains (PRDs). SH3 domains are less selective and show more diverse specificity compared to other PRDs. They have been shown to bind peptide sequences that lack the PxxP motif; examples include the PxxDY motif of Eps8 and the RKxxYxxY sequence in SKAP55. SH3 domain containing proteins play versatile and diverse roles in the cell, including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies, among others. Many members of this superfamily are adaptor proteins that associate with a number of protein partners, facilitating complex formation and signal transduction.

Src Homology 3 domain of Pak Interactive eXchange factors; PIX proteins are Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), which activate small GTPases by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. They act as GEFs for both Cdc42 and Rac 1, and have been implicated in cell motility, adhesion, neurite outgrowth, and cell polarity. Vertebrates contain two proteins from the PIX subfamily, alpha-PIX and beta-PIX. Alpha-PIX, also called ARHGEF6, is localized in dendritic spines where it regulates spine morphogenesis. Mutations in the ARHGEF6 gene cause X-linked intellectual disability in humans. Beta-PIX play roles in regulating neuroendocrine exocytosis, focal adhesion maturation, cell migration, synaptic vesicle localization, and insulin secretion. PIX proteins contain an N-terminal SH3 domain followed by RhoGEF (also called Dbl-homologous or DH) and Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domains, and a C-terminal leucine-zipper domain for dimerization. The SH3 domain of PIX binds to an atypical PxxxPR motif in p21-activated kinases (PAKs) with high affinity. The binding of PAKs to PIX facilitate the localization of PAKs to focal complexes and also localizes PAKs to PIX targets Cdc43 and Rac, leading to the activation of PAKs. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.

GRAP acts as a negative regulator of T cell receptor (TCR)-induced lymphocyte proliferation by downregulating the signaling to the Ras/ERK pathway. The C-terminal SH3 domains (SH3c) of GRB2 and GRAP2 have been shown to bind to classical PxxP motif ligands, as well as to non-classical motifs. GRB2 SH3c binds Gab2 (Grb2-associated binder 2) through epitopes containing RxxK motifs, while the SH3c of GRAP2 binds to the phosphatase-like protein HD-PTP via a RxxxxK motif. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that typically bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs.

It binds, via its C-terminal SH3 domain, to a proline-rich region of p47phox and upon activation, this complex assembles with flavocytochrome b558, the Nox2-p22phox heterodimer. Concurrently, RacGTP translocates to the membrane and interacts with the TPR domain of p67phox, which leads to the activation of NADPH oxidase. The PB1 domain of p67phox binds to its partner PB1 domain in p40phox, and this facilitates the assembly of p47phox-p67phox at the membrane. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs.

C-terminal Src homology 3 domain of Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2; GRB2 is a critical signaling molecule that regulates the Ras pathway by linking tyrosine kinases to the Ras guanine nucleotide releasing protein Sos (son of sevenless), which converts Ras to the active GTP-bound state. It is ubiquitously expressed in all tissues throughout development and is important in cell cycle progression, motility, morphogenesis, and angiogenesis. In lymphocytes, GRB2 is associated with antigen receptor signaling components. GRB2 contains an N-terminal SH3 domain, a central SH2 domain, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. The C-terminal SH3 domain of GRB2 binds to Gab2 (Grb2-associated binder 2) through epitopes containing RxxK motifs, as well as to the proline-rich C-terminus of FGRF2. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that typically bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.

C-terminal Src Homology 3 domain of the p67phox subunit of NADPH oxidase and similar proteins; This subfamily is composed of p67phox, NADPH oxidase activator 1 (Noxa1), and similar proteins. p67phox, also called Neutrophil cytosol factor 2 (NCF-2), and Noxa1 are homologs and are the cytosolic subunits of the phagocytic (Nox2) and nonphagocytic (Nox1) NADPH oxidase complexes, respectively. NADPH oxidase catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADPH to oxygen during phagocytosis forming superoxide and reactive oxygen species. p67phox and Noxa1 play regulatory roles. p67phox contains N-terminal TPR, first SH3 (or N-terminal or central SH3), PB1, and C-terminal SH3 domains. Noxa1 has a similar domain architecture except it is lacking the N-terminal SH3 domain. The TPR domain of both binds activated GTP-bound Rac, while the C-terminal SH3 domain of p67phox and Noxa1 binds the polyproline motif found at the C-terminus of p47phox and Noxo1, respectively. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.

Src homology 3 domain of Endophilin-A; Endophilins play roles in synaptic vesicle formation, virus budding, mitochondrial morphology maintenance, receptor-mediated endocytosis inhibition, and endosomal sorting. They are classified into two types, A and B. Vertebrates contain three endophilin-A isoforms (A1, A2, and A3). Endophilin-A proteins are enriched in the brain and play multiple roles in receptor-mediated endocytosis. They tubulate membranes and regulate calcium influx into neurons to trigger the activation of the endocytic machinery. They are also involved in the sorting of plasma membrane proteins, actin filament assembly, and the uncoating of clathrin-coated vesicles for fusion with endosomes. Endophilins contain an N-terminal N-BAR domain (BAR domain with an additional N-terminal amphipathic helix), followed by a variable region containing proline clusters, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.

Second Src homology 3 domain of Tyrosine kinase substrate with five SH3 domains; Tks5, also called SH3 and PX domain-containing protein 2A (SH3PXD2A) or Five SH (FISH), is a scaffolding protein and Src substrate that is localized in podosomes, which are electron-dense structures found in Src-transformed fibroblasts, osteoclasts, macrophages, and some invasive cancer cells. It binds and regulates some members of the ADAMs family of transmembrane metalloproteases, which function as sheddases and mediators of cell and matrix interactions. It is required for podosome formation, degradation of the extracellular matrix, and cancer cell invasion. Tks5 contains an N-terminal Phox homology (PX) domain and five SH3 domains. This model characterizes the second SH3 domain of Tks5. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.

Src homology 3 domain of Phospholipase C (PLC) gamma; PLC catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] to produce Ins(1,4,5)P3 and diacylglycerol (DAG) in response to various receptors. Ins(1,4,5)P3 initiates the calcium signaling cascade while DAG functions as an activator of PKC. PLCgamma catalyzes this reaction in tyrosine kinase-dependent signaling pathways. It is activated and recruited to its substrate at the membrane. Vertebrates contain two forms of PLCgamma, PLCgamma1, which is widely expressed, and PLCgamma2, which is primarily found in haematopoietic cells. PLCgamma contains a Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain followed by an elongation factor (EF) domain, two catalytic regions of PLC domains that flank two tandem SH2 domains, followed by a SH3 domain and C2 domain. The SH3 domain of PLCgamma1 directly interacts with dynamin-1 and can serve as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF). It also interacts with Cbl, inhibiting its phosphorylation and activity. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.
