Collybistin/APC-stimulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Collybistin (also called PEM2) is homologous to the Dbl proteins ASEF (also called ARHGEF4/RhoGEF4) and SPATA13 (Spermatogenesis-associated protein 13; also called ASEF2). It activates CDC42 specifically and not any other Rho-family GTPases. Collybistin consists of an SH3 domain, followed by a RhoGEF/DH and PH domain. In Dbl proteins, the DH and PH domains catalyze the exchange of GDP for GTP in Rho GTPases, allowing them to signal to downstream effectors. It induces submembrane clustering of the receptor-associated peripheral membrane protein gephyrin, which is thought to form a scaffold underneath the postsynaptic membrane linking receptors to the cytoskeleton. It also acts as a tumor suppressor that links adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) protein, a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway and promotes the phosphorylation and degradation of beta-catenin, to Cdc42. Autoinhibition of collybistin is accomplished by the binding of its SH3 domain with both the RhoGEF and PH domains to block access of Cdc42 to the GTPase-binding site. Inactivation promotes cancer progression. 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.

Src homology 3 domain of APC-Stimulated guanine nucleotide Exchange Factor; ASEF, also called ARHGEF4, exists in an autoinhibited form and is activated upon binding of the tumor suppressor APC (adenomatous polyposis coli). GEFs activate small GTPases by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. ASEF can activate Rac1 or Cdc42. Truncated ASEF, which is found in colorectal cancers, is constitutively active and has been shown to promote angiogenesis and cancer cell migration. ASEF contains a SH3 domain followed by RhoGEF (also called Dbl-homologous or DH) and Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domains. In its autoinhibited form, the SH3 domain of ASEF forms an extensive interface with the DH and PH domains, blocking the Rac binding site. 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.

Pleckstrin homology domain; Domain commonly found in eukaryotic signalling proteins. The domain family possesses multiple functions including the abilities to bind inositol phosphates, and various proteins. PH domains have been found to possess inserted domains (such as in PLC gamma, syntrophins) and to be inserted within other domains. Mutations in Brutons tyrosine kinase (Btk) within its PH domain cause X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) in patients. Point mutations cluster into the positively charged end of the molecule around the predicted binding site for phosphatidylinositol lipids.

Src homology 3 domain of ARHGEF9-like Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors; Members of this family contain a SH3 domain followed by RhoGEF (also called Dbl-homologous or DH) and Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domains. They include the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors ARHGEF9, ASEF (also called ARHGEF4), ASEF2, and similar proteins. GEFs activate small GTPases by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. ARHGEF9 specifically activates Cdc42, while both ASEF and ASEF2 can activate Rac1 and Cdc42. ARHGEF9 is highly expressed in the brain and it interacts with gephyrin, a postsynaptic protein associated with GABA and glycine receptors. ASEF plays a role in angiogenesis and cell migration. ASEF2 is important in cell migration and adhesion dynamics. ASEF exists in an autoinhibited form and is activated upon binding of the tumor suppressor APC (adenomatous polyposis coli), leading to the activation of Rac1 or Cdc42.

Src homology 3 domain of Signal Transducing Adaptor Molecules; STAMs were discovered as proteins that are highly phosphorylated following cytokine and growth factor stimulation. They function in cytokine signaling and surface receptor degradation, as well as regulate Golgi morphology. They associate with many proteins including Jak2 and Jak3 tyrosine kinases, Hrs, AMSH, and UBPY. STAM adaptor proteins contain VHS (Vps27, Hrs, STAM homology), ubiquitin interacting (UIM), and SH3 domains. There are two vertebrate STAMs, STAM1 and STAM2, which may be functionally redundant; vertebrate STAMs contain ITAM motifs. They are part of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT-0). STAM2 deficiency in mice did not cause any obvious abnormality, while STAM1 deficiency resulted in growth retardation. Loss of both STAM1 and STAM2 in mice proved lethal, indicating that STAMs are important for embryonic development. 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.

C-terminal Src homology 3 domain of Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) and related proteins; This family includes the adaptor protein GRB2 and related proteins including Drosophila melanogaster Downstream of receptor kinase (DRK), Caenorhabditis elegans Sex muscle abnormal protein 5 (Sem-5), GRB2-related adaptor protein (GRAP), GRAP2, and similar proteins. Family members contain an N-terminal SH3 domain, a central SH2 domain, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. GRB2/Sem-5/DRK 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. GRAP2 plays an important role in T cell receptor (TCR) signaling by promoting the formation of the SLP-76:LAT complex, which couples the TCR to the Ras pathway. 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. 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.

The N-terminal domain of both Ysc84p and Lsb3p can bind and bundle actin filaments. A study of the yeast SH3 domain interactome predicts that the SH3 domains of Lsb3p and Lsb4p may function as molecular hubs for the assembly of endocytic complexes. 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 Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 2; PRMT2, also called HRMT1L1, belongs to the arginine methyltransferase protein family. It functions as a coactivator to both estrogen receptor alpha (ER-alpha) and androgen receptor (AR), presumably through arginine methylation. The ER-alpha transcription factor is involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, morphogenesis, and apoptosis, and is also implicated in the development and progression of breast cancer. PRMT2 and its variants are upregulated in breast cancer cells and may be involved in modulating the ER-alpha signaling pathway during formation of breast cancer. PRMT2 also plays a role in regulating the function of E2F transcription factors, which are critical cell cycle regulators, by binding to the retinoblastoma gene product (RB). It contains an N-terminal SH3 domain and an AdoMet binding domain. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs.

Src homology 3 domain of eumetazoan Actin-binding protein 1; Abp1, also called drebrin-like protein, is an adaptor protein that functions in receptor-mediated endocytosis and vesicle trafficking. It contains an N-terminal actin-binding module, the actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) homology domain, a helical domain, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. Mammalian Abp1, unlike yeast Abp1, does not contain an acidic domain that interacts with the Arp2/3 complex. It regulates actin dynamics indirectly by interacting with dynamin and WASP family proteins. Abp1 deficiency causes abnormal organ structure and function of the spleen, heart, and lung of mice. 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 (or SH3B) of Intersectin; Intersectins (ITSNs) are adaptor proteins that function in exo- and endocytosis, actin cytoskeletal reorganization, and signal transduction. They are essential for initiating clathrin-coated pit formation. They bind to many proteins through their multidomain structure and facilitate the assembly of multimeric complexes. Vertebrates contain two ITSN proteins, ITSN1 and ITSN2, which exist in alternatively spliced short and long isoforms. The short isoforms contain two Eps15 homology domains (EH1 and EH2), a coiled-coil region and five SH3 domains (SH3A-E), while the long isoforms, in addition, contain RhoGEF (also called Dbl-homologous or DH), Pleckstrin homology (PH) and C2 domains. ITSN1 and ITSN2 are both widely expressed, with variations depending on tissue type and stage of development. The second SH3 domain (or SH3B) of ITSN1 has been shown to bind WNK and CdGAP.

MyoIe interacts with the endocytic proteins, dynamin and synaptojanin-1, through its SH3 domain; it may play a role in clathrin-dependent endocytosis. In the kidney, MyoIe is critical for podocyte function and normal glomerular filtration. Mutations in MyoIe is associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a disease characterized by massive proteinuria and progression to end-stage kidney disease. MyoIf is predominantly expressed in the immune system; it plays a role in immune cell motility and innate immunity. Mutations in MyoIf may be associated with the loss of hearing. The MyoIf gene has also been found to be fused to the MLL (Mixed lineage leukemia) gene in infant acute myeloid leukemias (AML). SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs.

Src homology 3 domain of Apoptosis Stimulating of p53 proteins (ASPP); The ASPP family of proteins bind to important regulators of apoptosis (p53, Bcl-2, and RelA) and cell growth (APCL, PP1). They share similarity at their C-termini, where they harbor a proline-rich region, four ankyrin (ANK) repeats, and an SH3 domain. Vertebrates contain three members of the family: ASPP1, ASPP2, and iASPP. ASPP1 and ASPP2 activate the apoptotic function of the p53 family of tumor suppressors (p53, p63, and p73), while iASPP is an oncoprotein that specifically inhibits p53-induced apoptosis. The expression of ASPP proteins is altered in tumors; ASPP1 and ASPP2 are downregulated whereas iASPP is upregulated is some cancer types. ASPP proteins also bind and regulate protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), and this binding is competitive with p53 binding. The SH3 domain and the ANK repeats of ASPP contribute to the p53 binding site; they bind to the DNA binding domain of p53. 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.

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 (SH3B) of CD2-associated protein; CD2AP, also called CMS (Cas ligand with Multiple SH3 domains) or METS1 (Mesenchyme-to-Epithelium Transition protein with SH3 domains), is a cytosolic adaptor protein that plays a role in regulating the cytoskeleton. It is critical in cell-to-cell union necessary for kidney function. It also stabilizes the contact between a T cell and antigen-presenting cells. It is primarily expressed in podocytes at the cytoplasmic face of the slit diaphragm and serves as a linker anchoring podocin and nephrin to the actin cytoskeleton. CD2AP contains three SH3 domains, a proline-rich region, and a C-terminal coiled-coil domain. All of these domains enable CD2AP to bind various protein partners and assemble complexes that have been implicated in many different functions. This alignment model represents the second SH3 domain (SH3B) of CD2AP. SH3B binds to c-Cbl in a site (TPSSRPLR is the core binding motif) distinct from the c-Cbl/SH3A binding site. 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 Abelson helper integration site-1 (AHI-1); AHI-1, also called Jouberin, is expressed in high levels in the brain, gonad tissues, and skeletal muscle. It is an adaptor protein that interacts with the small GTPase Rab8a and regulates it distribution and function, affecting cilium formation and vesicle transport. Mutations in the AHI-1 gene can cause Joubert syndrome, a disorder characterized by brainstem malformations, cerebellar aplasia/hypoplasia, and retinal dystrophy. AHI-1 variation is also associated with susceptibility to schizophrenia and type 2 diabetes mellitus progression. AHI-1 contains WD40 and SH3 domains. 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.

Fifth Src homology 3 domain (or SH3E) of Intersectin-2; Intersectin-2 (ITSN2) is an adaptor protein that functions in exo- and endocytosis, actin cytoskeletal reorganization, and signal transduction. It plays a role in clathrin-coated pit (CCP) formation. It binds to many proteins through its multidomain structure and facilitate the assembly of multimeric complexes. ITSN2 also functions as a specific GEF for Cdc42 activation in epithelial morphogenesis, and is required in mitotic spindle orientation. It exists in alternatively spliced short and long isoforms. The short isoform contains two Eps15 homology domains (EH1 and EH2), a coiled-coil region and five SH3 domains (SH3A-E), while the long isoform, in addition, contains RhoGEF (also called Dbl-homologous or DH), Pleckstrin homology (PH) and C2 domains. The fifth SH3 domain (or SH3E) of ITSN2 is expected to bind protein partners, similar to ITSN1 which has been shown to bind many protein partners including SGIP1, Sos1, dynamin1/2, CIN85, c-Cbl, SHIP2, N-WASP, and synaptojanin-1, among others. 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 (Tks) proteins; Tks proteins are Src substrates and scaffolding proteins that play important roles in the formation of podosomes and invadopodia, the dynamic actin-rich structures that are related to cell migration and cancer cell invasion. Vertebrates contain two Tks proteins, Tks4 (Tyr kinase substrate with four SH3 domains) and Tks5 (Tyr kinase substrate with five SH3 domains), which display partially overlapping but non-redundant functions. Both associate with the ADAMs family of transmembrane metalloproteases, which function as sheddases and mediators of cell and matrix interactions. Tks5 interacts with N-WASP and Nck, while Tks4 is essential for the localization of MT1-MMP (membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase) to invadopodia. Tks proteins contain an N-terminal Phox homology (PX) domain and four or five SH3 domains. This model characterizes the second SH3 domain of Tks proteins. 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.
