Connector enhancer of KSR (Kinase suppressor of ras) (CNK) pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; CNK family members function as protein scaffolds, regulating the activity and the subcellular localization of RAS activated RAF. There is a single CNK protein present in Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans in contrast to mammals which have 3 CNK proteins (CNK1, CNK2, and CNK3). All of the CNK members contain a sterile a motif (SAM), a conserved region in CNK (CRIC) domain, and a PSD-95/DLG-1/ZO-1 (PDZ) domain, and, with the exception of CNK3, a PH domain. A CNK2 splice variant CNK2A also has a PDZ domain-binding motif at its C terminus and Drosophila CNK (D-CNK) also has a domain known as the Raf-interacting region (RIR) that mediates binding of the Drosophila Raf kinase. This cd contains CNKs from mammals, chickens, amphibians, fish, and crustacea. 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.

Phosphoinositol 3-phosphate binding proteins 1, 2, and 3 pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; PEPP1 (also called PLEKHA4/PH domain-containing family A member 4 and RHOXF1/Rhox homeobox family member 1), and related homologs PEPP2 (also called PLEKHA5/PH domain-containing family A member 5) and PEPP3 (also called PLEKHA6/PH domain-containing family A member 6), have PH domains that interact specifically with PtdIns(3,4)P3. Other proteins that bind PtdIns(3,4)P3 specifically are: TAPP1 (tandem PH-domain-containing protein-1) and TAPP2], PtdIns3P AtPH1, and Ptd- Ins(3,5)P2 (centaurin-beta2). All of these proteins contain at least 5 of the 6 conserved amino acids that make up the putative phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5- trisphosphate-binding motif (PPBM) located at their N-terminus. 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.

SH3 domain-binding protein 2 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; SH3BP2 (the gene that encodes the adaptor protein 3BP2), HD, ITU, IT10C3, and ADD1 are located near the Huntington's Disease Gene on Human Chromosome 4pl6.3. SH3BP2 lies in a region that is often missing in individuals with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS). Gain of function mutations in SH3BP2 causes enhanced B-cell antigen receptor (BCR)-mediated activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), resulting in a rare, genetic disorder called cherubism. This results in an increase in the signaling complex formation with Syk, phospholipase C-gamma2 (PLC-gamma2), and Vav1. It was recently discovered that Tankyrase regulates 3BP2 stability through ADP-ribosylation and ubiquitylation by the E3-ubiquitin ligase. Cherubism mutations uncouple 3BP2 from Tankyrase-mediated protein destruction, which results in its stabilization and subsequent hyperactivation of the Src, Syk, and Vav signaling pathways. SH3BP2 is also a potential negative regulator of the abl oncogene. 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.

Arabidopsis thaliana Pleckstrin homolog (PH) 1 (AtPH1) PH domain; AtPH1 is expressed in all plant tissue and is proposed to be the plant homolog of human pleckstrin. Pleckstrin consists of two PH domains separated by a linker region, while AtPH has a single PH domain with a short N-terminal extension. AtPH1 binds PtdIns3P specifically and is thought to be an adaptor molecule since it has no obvious catalytic functions. 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.

Sesquipedalian family Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; The sesquipedalian family has 2 mammalian members: Ses1 and Ses2, which are also callled 7 kDa inositol polyphosphate phosphatase-interacting protein 1 and 2. They play a role in endocytic trafficking and are required for receptor recycling from endosomes, both to the trans-Golgi network and the plasma membrane. Members of this family form homodimers and heterodimers. Sesquipedalian interacts with inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase OCRL-1 (INPP5F) also known as Lowe oculocerebrorenal syndrome protein, a phosphatase enzyme that is involved in actin polymerization and is found in the trans-Golgi network and INPP5B. Sesquipedalian contains a single PH domain.

Src kinase-associated phosphoprotein family Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Skap adaptor proteins couple receptors to cytoskeletal rearrangements. Src kinase-associated phosphoprotein of 55 kDa (Skap55)/Src kinase-associated phosphoprotein 1 (Skap1), Skap2, and Skap-homology (Skap-hom) have an N-terminal coiled-coil conformation, a central PH domain and a C-terminal SH3 domain. Their PH domains bind 3'-phosphoinositides as well as directly affecting targets such as in Skap55 where it directly affecting integrin regulation by ADAP and NF-kappaB activation or in Skap-hom where the dimerization and PH domains comprise a 3'-phosphoinositide-gated molecular switch that controls ruffle formation. PH domains are only found in eukaryotes. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. 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.

Beta-spectrin pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Beta spectrin binds actin and functions as a major component of the cytoskeleton underlying cellular membranes. Beta spectrin consists of multiple spectrin repeats followed by a PH domain, which binds to inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate. The PH domain of beta-spectrin is thought to play a role in the association of spectrin with the plasma membrane of cells. 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 kinase-associated phosphoprotein 1 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Adaptor protein Skap1 (also called Skap55/Src kinase-associated phosphoprotein of 55 kDa) and its partner, ADAP (adhesion and degranulation promoting adapter protein) help reorganize the cytoskeleton and/or promote integrin-mediated adhesion upon immunoreceptor activation. Skap1 is also involved in T Cell Receptor (TCR)-induced RapL-Rap1 complex formation and LFA-1 activation. Skap1 has an N-terminal coiled-coil conformation which is proposed to be involved in homodimer formation, a central PH domain and a C-terminal SH3 domain that associates with ADAP. The Skap1 PH domain plays a role in controlling integrin function via recruitment of ADAP-SKAP complexes to integrins as well as in controlling the ability of ADAP to interact with the CBM signalosome and regulate NF-kappaB. SKAP1 is necessary for RapL binding to membranes in a PH domain-dependent manner and the PI3K pathway. Skap adaptor proteins couple receptors to cytoskeletal rearrangements. Skap55/Skap1, Skap2, and Skap-homology (Skap-hom) have an N-terminal coiled-coil conformation, a central PH domain and a C-terminal SH3 domain. Their PH domains bind 3'-phosphoinositides as well as directly affecting targets such as in Skap55 where it directly affecting integrin regulation by ADAP and NF-kappaB activation or in Skap-hom where the dimerization and PH domains comprise a 3'-phosphoinositide-gated molecular switch that controls ruffle formation. 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.

Grb2-associated binding protein family pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; The Gab subfamily includes several Gab proteins, Drosophila DOS and C. elegans SOC-1. They are scaffolding adaptor proteins, which possess N-terminal PH domains and a C-terminus with proline-rich regions and multiple phosphorylation sites. Following activation of growth factor receptors, Gab proteins are tyrosine phosphorylated and activate PI3K, which generates 3-phosphoinositide lipids. By binding to these lipids via the PH domain, Gab proteins remain in proximity to the receptor, leading to further signaling. While not all Gab proteins depend on the PH domain for recruitment, it is required for Gab activity. Members here include insect, nematodes, and crustacean Gab2s. 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.

Dual Adaptor for Phosphotyrosine and 3-Phosphoinositides Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; DAPP1 (also known as PHISH/3' phosphoinositide-interacting SH2 domain-containing protein or Bam32) plays a role in B-cell activation and has potential roles in T-cell and mast cell function. DAPP1 promotes B cell receptor (BCR) induced activation of Rho GTPases Rac1 and Cdc42, which feed into mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) activation pathways and affect cytoskeletal rearrangement. DAPP1can also regulate BCR-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and c-jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK). DAPP1 contains an N-terminal SH2 domain and a C-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain with a single tyrosine phosphorylation site located centrally. DAPP1 binds strongly to both PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(3,4)P2. The PH domain is essential for plasma membrane recruitment of PI3K upon cell activation. 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.

ARHGAP21 and related proteins pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; ARHGAP family genes encode Rho/Rac/Cdc42-like GTPase activating proteins with a RhoGAP domain. These proteins functions as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for RHOA and CDC42. ARHGAP21 controls the Arp2/3 complex and F-actin dynamics at the Golgi complex by regulating the activity of the small GTPase Cdc42. It is recruited to the Golgi by to GTPase, ARF1, through its PH domain and its helical motif. It is also required for CTNNA1 recruitment to adherens junctions. ARHGAP21 and it related proteins all contains a PH domain and a RhoGAP domain. Some of the members have additional N-terminal domains including PDZ, SH3, and SPEC. The ARHGAP21 PH domain interacts with the GTPbound forms of both ARF1 and ARF6 ARF-binding domain/ArfBD. The members here include: ARHGAP15, ARHGAP21, and ARHGAP23. 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.

TBC1 domain family member 2A pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; TBC1D2A (also called PARIS-1/Prostate antigen recognized and identified by SEREX 1 and ARMUS) contains a PH domain and a TBC-type GTPase catalytic domain. TBC1D2A integrates signaling between Arf6, Rac1, and Rab7 during junction disassembly. Activated Rac1 recruits TBC1D2A to locally inactivate Rab7 via its C-terminal TBC/RabGAP domain and facilitate E-cadherin degradation in lysosomes. The TBC1D2A PH domain mediates localization at cell-cell contacts and coprecipitates with cadherin complexes. 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.

General Receptor for Phosphoinositides-1-like Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; GRP1/cytohesin3 and the related proteins ARNO (ARF nucleotide-binding site opener)/cytohesin-2 and cytohesin-1 are ARF exchange factors that contain a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain thought to target these proteins to cell membranes through binding polyphosphoinositides. The PH domains of all three proteins exhibit relatively high affinity for PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. Within the Grp1 family, diglycine (2G) and triglycine (3G) splice variants, differing only in the number of glycine residues in the PH domain, strongly influence the affinity and specificity for phosphoinositides. The 2G variants selectively bind PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 with high affinity,the 3G variants bind PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 with about 30-fold lower affinity and require the polybasic region for plasma membrane targeting. These ARF-GEFs share a common, tripartite structure consisting of an N-terminal coiled-coil domain, a central domain with homology to the yeast protein Sec7, a PH domain, and a C-terminal polybasic region. The Sec7 domain is autoinhibited by conserved elements proximal to the PH domain. GRP1 binds to the DNA binding domain of certain nuclear receptors (TRalpha, TRbeta, AR, ER, but not RXR), and can repress thyroid hormone receptor (TR)-mediated transactivation by decreasing TR-complex formation on thyroid hormone response elements. ARNO promotes sequential activation of Arf6, Cdc42 and Rac1 and insulin secretion. Cytohesin acts as a PI 3-kinase effector mediating biological responses including cell spreading and adhesion, chemotaxis, protein trafficking, and cytoskeletal rearrangements, only some of which appear to depend on their ability to activate ARFs. 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.

SifA and kinesin-interacting protein Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; SKIP (also called PLEKHM2/Pleckstrin homology domain-containing family M member 2) is a soluble cytosolic protein that contains a RUN domain and a PH domain separated by a unstructured linker region. SKIP is a target of the Salmonella effector protein SifA and the SifA-SKIP complex regulates kinesin-1 on the bacterial vacuole. The PH domain of SKIP binds to the N-terminal region of SifA while the N-terminus of SKIP is proposed to bind the TPR domain of the kinesin light chain. The opposite side of the SKIP PH domain is proposed to bind phosphoinositides. TSifA, SKIP, SseJ, and RhoA family GTPases are also thought to promote host membrane tubulation. Recently, it was shown that the lysosomal GTPase Arl8 binds to the kinesin-1 linker SKIP and that both are required for the normal intracellular distribution of lysosomes. Interestingly, two kinesin light chain binding motifs (WD) in SKIP have now been identified to match a consensus sequence for a kinesin light chain binding site found in several proteins including calsyntenin-1/alcadein, caytaxin, and vaccinia virus A36. SKIP has also been shown to interact with Rab1A. 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.

ArfGAP with coiled-coil, ankyrin repeat and PH domains Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; ACAP (also called centaurin beta) functions both as a Rab35 effector and as an Arf6-GTPase-activating protein (GAP) by which it controls actin remodeling and membrane trafficking. ACAP contain an NH2-terminal bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain, a phospholipid-binding domain, a PH domain, a GAP domain, and four ankyrin repeats. The AZAPs constitute a family of Arf GAPs that are characterized by an NH2-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and a central Arf GAP domain followed by two or more ankyrin repeats. On the basis of sequence and domain organization, the AZAP family is further subdivided into four subfamilies: 1) the ACAPs contain an NH2-terminal bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain (a phospholipid-binding domain that is thought to sense membrane curvature), a single PH domain followed by the GAP domain, and four ankyrin repeats; 2) the ASAPs also contain an NH2-terminal BAR domain, the tandem PH domain/GAP domain, three ankyrin repeats, two proline-rich regions, and a COOH-terminal Src homology 3 domain; 3) the AGAPs contain an NH2-terminal GTPase-like domain (GLD), a split PH domain, and the GAP domain followed by four ankyrin repeats; and 4) the ARAPs contain both an Arf GAP domain and a Rho GAP domain, as well as an NH2-terminal sterile-a motif (SAM), a proline-rich region, a GTPase-binding domain, and five PH domains. PMID 18003747 and 19055940 Centaurin can bind to phosphatidlyinositol (3,4,5)P3. 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.

All FGDs are guanine nucleotide exchange factors that activate the Rho GTPase Cdc42, an important regulator of membrane trafficking. The RhoGEF domain is responsible for GEF catalytic activity, while the PH domain is involved in intracellular targeting of the DH 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.

T-lymphoma invasion and metastasis 1 and 2 Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domain, N-terminal domain; Tiam1 activates Rac GTPases to induce membrane ruffling and cell motility while Tiam2 (also called STEF (SIF (still life) and Tiam1 like-exchange factor) contributes to neurite growth. Tiam1/2 are Dbl-family of GEFs that possess a Dbl(DH) domain with a PH domain in tandem. DH-PH domain catalyzes the GDP/GTP exchange reaction in the GTPase cycle and facillitating the switch between inactive GDP-bound and active GTP-bound states. Tiam1/2 possess two PH domains, which are often referred to as PHn and PHc domains. The DH-PH tandem domain is made up of the PHc domain while the PHn is part of a novel N-terminal PHCCEx domain which is made up of the PHn domain, a coiled coil region(CC), and an extra region (Ex). PHCCEx mediates binding to plasma membranes and signalling proteins in the activation of Rac GTPases. The PH domain resembles the beta-spectrin PH domain, suggesting non-canonical phosphatidylinositol binding. CC and Ex form a positively charged surface for protein binding. There are 2 motifs in Tiam1/2-interacting proteins that bind to the PHCCEx domain: Motif-I in CD44, ephrinBs, and the NMDA receptor and Motif-II in Par3 and JIP2.Neither of these fall in the PHn 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.

Pleckstrin 2 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, repeat 1; Pleckstrin is a protein found in platelets. This name is derived from platelet and leukocyte C kinase substrate and the KSTR string of amino acids. Pleckstrin 2 contains two PH domains and a DEP (dishvelled, egl-10, and pleckstrin) domain. Unlike pleckstrin 1, pleckstrin 2 does not contain obvious sites of PKC phosphorylation. Pleckstrin 2 plays a role in actin rearrangement, large lamellipodia and peripheral ruffle formation, and may help orchestrate cytoskeletal arrangement. The PH domains of pleckstrin 2 are thought to contribute to lamellipodia formation. This cd contains the first PH domain repeat. 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.

Rho GTPase activating protein 2 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; RhoGAP2 (also called RhoGap22 or ArhGap22) are involved in cell polarity, cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. They activate a GTPase belonging to the RAS superfamily of small GTP-binding proteins. The encoded protein is insulin-responsive, is dependent on the kinase Akt, and requires the Akt-dependent 14-3-3 binding protein which binds sequentially to two serine residues resulting in regulation of cell motility. Members here contain an N-terminal PH domain followed by a RhoGAP domain and either a BAR or TATA Binding Protein (TBP) Associated Factor 4 (TAF4) 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.

FERM, RhoGEF and pleckstrin domain-containing protein 1 and related proteins Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domain, repeat 2; Members here include FARP1 (also called Chondrocyte-derived ezrin-like protein; PH domain-containing family C member 2), FARP2 (also called FIR/FERM domain including RhoGEF; FGD1-related Cdc42-GEF/FRG), and FARP6 (also called Zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein 24). They are members of the Dbl family guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) which are upstream positive regulators of Rho GTPases. Little is known about FARP1 and FARP6, though FARP1 has increased expression in differentiated chondrocytes. FARP2 is thought to regulate neurite remodeling by mediating the signaling pathways from membrane proteins to Rac. It is found in brain, lung, and testis, as well as embryonic hippocampal and cortical neurons. FARP1 and FARP2 are composed of a N-terminal FERM domain, a proline-rich (PR) domain, Dbl-homology (DH), and two C-terminal PH domains. FARP6 is composed of Dbl-homology (DH), and two C-terminal PH domains separated by a FYVE domain. This hierarchy contains the second PH repeat. 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.

RAS p21 protein activator (GTPase activating protein) 1 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; RASA1 (also called RasGap1 or p120) is a member of the RasGAP family of GTPase-activating proteins. RASA1 contains N-terminal SH2-SH3-SH2 domains, followed by two C2 domains, a PH domain, a RasGAP domain, and a BTK domain. Splice variants lack the N-terminal domains. It is a cytosolic vertebrate protein that acts as a suppressor of RAS via its C-terminal GAP domain function, enhancing the weak intrinsic GTPase activity of RAS proteins resulting in the inactive GDP-bound form of RAS, allowing control of cellular proliferation and differentiation. Additionally, it is involved in mitogenic signal transmission towards downstream interacting partners through its N-terminal SH2-SH3-SH2 domains. RASA1 interacts with a number of proteins including: G3BP1, SOCS3, ANXA6, Huntingtin, KHDRBS1, Src, EPHB3, EPH receptor B2, Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor, PTK2B, DOK1, PDGFRB, HCK, Caveolin 2, DNAJA3, HRAS, GNB2L1 and NCK1.

Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Budding yeast contain two main p21-activated kinases (PAKs), Cla4 and Ste20. The yeast Ste20 protein kinase is involved in pheromone response, though the function of Ste20 mammalian homologs is unknown. Cla4 is involved in budding and cytokinesis and interacts with Cdc42, a GTPase required for polarized cell growth as is Pak. Cla4 and Ste20 kinases share a function in localizing cell growth with respect to the septin ring. They both contain a PH domain, a Cdc42/Rac interactive binding (CRIB) domain, and a C-terminal Protein Kinase catalytic (PKc) 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.

Beta-spectrin pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; ARHGAP family genes encode Rho/Rac/Cdc42-like GTPase activating proteins with RhoGAP domain. The ARHGAP members here all have a PH domain upstream of their C-terminal RhoGAP domain. Some have additional N-terminal SH3 and WW domains. The members here include: ARHGAP9, ARHGAP12, ARHGAP15, and ARHGAP27. ARHGAP27 and ARHGAP12 shared the common-domain structure, consisting of SH3, WW, PH, and RhoGAP domains. The PH domain of ArhGAP9 employs a non-canonical phosphoinositide binding mechanism, a variation of the spectrin- Ins(4,5)P2-binding mode, that gives rise to a unique PI binding profile, namely a preference for both PI(4,5)P2 and the PI 3-kinase products PI(3,4,5)P3 and PI(3,4)P2. This lipid binding mechanism is also employed by the PH domain of Tiam1 and Slm1. 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.

Type 2 Diacylglycerol kinase Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; DGK (also called DAGK) catalyzes the conversion of diacylglycerol (DAG) to phosphatidic acid (PA) utilizing ATP as a source of the phosphate. In non-stimulated cells, DGK activity is low and DAG is used for glycerophospholipid biosynthesis. Upon receptor activation of the phosphoinositide pathway, DGK activity increases which drives the conversion of DAG to PA. DGK acts as a switch by terminating the signalling of one lipid while simultaneously activating signalling by another. There are 9 mammalian DGK isoforms all with conserved catalytic domains and two cysteine rich domains. These are further classified into 5 groups according to the presence of additional functional domains and substrate specificity: Type 1 - DGK-alpha, DGK-beta, DGK-gamma - contain EF-hand motifs and a recoverin homology domain; Type 2 - DGK-delta, DGK-eta, and DGK-kappa- contain a pleckstrin homology domain, two cysteine-rich zinc finger-like structures, and a separated catalytic region; Type 3 - DGK-epsilon - has specificity for arachidonate-containing DAG; Type 4 - DGK-zeta, DGK-iota- contain a MARCKS homology domain, ankyrin repeats, a C-terminal nuclear localization signal, and a PDZ-binding motif; Type 5 - DGK-theta - contains a third cysteine-rich domain, a pleckstrin homology domain and a proline rich region. The type 2 DGKs are present as part of this Metazoan DGK hierarchy. They have a N-terminal PH domain, two cysteine rich domains, followed by bipartite catalytic domains, and a C-terminal SAM domain. Their catalytic domains and perhaps other DGK catalytic domains may function as two independent units in a coordinated fashion. They may also require other motifs for maximal activity because several DGK catalytic domains have very little DAG kinase activity when expressed as isolated subunits. 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.

Ca2+ promoted Ras inactivator pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; CAPRI (also called RASA4/RAS p21 protein activator (GTPase activating protein) 4/GAPL/FLJ59070/KIAA0538/MGC131890) is a member of the GAP1 family of GTPase-activating proteins. CAPRI contains two fully conserved C2 domains, a PH domain, a RasGAP domain, and a BTK domain. Its catalytic GAP domain has dual RasGAP and RapGAP activities, while its C2 domains bind phospholipids in the presence of Ca2+. Both CAPRI and RASAL are calcium-activated RasGAPs that inactivate Ras at the plasma membrane. Thereby enhancing the weak intrinsic GTPase activity of RAS proteins resulting in the inactive GDP-bound form of RAS and allowing control of cellular proliferation and differentiation. CAPRI and RASAL differ in that CAPRI is an amplitude sensor while RASAL senses calcium oscillations. This difference between them resides not in their C2 domains, but in their PH domains leading to speculation that this might reflect an association with either phosphoinositides and/or proteins. 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.

Ras-specific guanine nucleotide-releasing factors 1 and 2 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; RasGRF1 (also called GRF1; CDC25Mm/Ras-specific nucleotide exchange factor CDC25; GNRP/Guanine nucleotide-releasing protein) and RasGRF2 (also called GRF2; Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2) are a family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). They both promote the exchange of Ras-bound GDP by GTP, thereby regulating the RAS signaling pathway. RasGRF1 and RasGRF2 form homooligomers and heterooligomers. GRF1 has 3 isoforms and GRF2 has 2 isoforms. The longest isoforms of RasGRF1 and RasGRF2 contain the following domains: a Rho-GEF domain sandwiched between 2 PH domains, IQ domains, a REM (Ras exchanger motif) domain, and a Ras-GEF domainwhich gives them the capacity to activate both Ras and Rac GTPases in response to signals from a variety of neurotransmitter receptors. Their IQ domains allow them to act as calcium sensors to mediate the actions of NMDA-type and calcium-permeable AMPA-type glutamate receptors. GRF1 also mediates the action of dopamine receptors that signal through cAMP. GRF1 and GRF2 play strikingly different roles in regulating MAP kinase family members, neuronal synaptic plasticity, specific forms of learning and memory, and behavioral responses to psychoactive drugs. 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.
