PDZ domain of connector enhancer of kinase suppressor of ras 1 (CNK1), CNK2, CNK3, and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain of CNK1 (also known as connector enhancer of KSR 1 (CNKSR1), CNK homolog protein 1, connector enhancer of KSR-like), CNK2 (also known as CNKSR2, CNK homolog protein 2), and CNK3 (also known as CNKSR3, CNK homolog protein 3, CNKSR family member 3, maguin-like). CNK proteins modulate Ras-mediated signaling, acting downstream of Ras as a scaffold for the Raf/MEK/ERK kinase cascade. They also modulate signaling mediated via Rho family small GTPases, through interactions with various guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and GTPase activating proteins (GAPs), and modulate the insulin signaling pathway through interactions with the Arf guanine nucleotide exchange factors. CNK proteins also regulate cell proliferation and migration by acting as scaffolds for the PI3K/Akt and JNK signaling cascades. CNK2 plays a role in the molecular processes that govern morphology of the postsynaptic density (PSD), and influences subcellular localization of the regulatory NCK-interacting kinase TNIK. TNIK binds a region of CNK2 including the PDZ and the DUF domain; this region also binds the kinase MINK1. CNK2 may also influence the membrane localization of MINK1. CNK3 plays a part in transepithelial sodium transport; it coordinates assembly of an epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)-regulatory complex. PDZ domains usually bind in a sequence-specific manner to short peptide sequences located at the C-terminal end of their partner proteins (known as PDZ binding motifs). The PDZ superfamily includes canonical PDZ domains as well as those with circular permutations and domain swapping mediated by beta-strands. This CNK1-like family domain is a canonical PDZ domain containing six beta-strands A-F and two alpha-helices (alpha-helix 1 and 2), arranged as beta-strands A, B, C, alpha-helix 1, beta-strands D, E, alpha-helix 2 and beta- strand F.

SAM domain of CNK1,2,3-suppressor subfamily; SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain of CNK (connector enhancer of kinase suppressor of ras (Ksr)) subfamily is a protein-protein interaction domain. CNK proteins are multidomain scaffold proteins containing a few protein-protein interaction domains and are required for connecting Rho and Ras signaling pathways. In Drosophila, the SAM domain of CNK is known to interact with the SAM domain of the aveugle protein, forming a heterodimer. Mutation of the SAM domain in human CNK1 abolishes the ability to cooperate with the Ras effector, supporting the idea that this interaction is necessary for proper Ras signal transduction.

SAM (Sterile alpha motif ); SAM (Sterile Alpha Motif) domain is a module consisting of approximately 70 amino acids. This domain is found in the Fungi/Metazoa group and in a restricted number of bacteria. Proteins with SAM domains are represented by a wide variety of domain architectures and have different intracellular localization, including nucleus, cytoplasm and membranes. SAM domains have diverse functions. They can interact with proteins, RNAs and membrane lipids, contain site of phosphorylation and/or kinase docking site, and play a role in protein homo and hetero dimerization/oligomerization in processes ranging from signal transduction to regulation of transcription. Mutations in SAM domains have been linked to several diseases.

SAM domain of Shank1,2,3 family proteins; SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain of Shank1,2,3 family proteins is a protein-protein interaction domain. Shank1,2,3 proteins are scaffold proteins that are known to interact with a variety of cytoplasmic and membrane proteins. SAM domains of the Shank1,2,3 family are prone to homooligomerization. They are highly enriched in the postsynaptic density, acting as scaffolds to organize assembly of postsynaptic proteins. SAM domains of Shank3 proteins can form large sheets of helical fibers. Shank genes show distinct patterns of expression, in rat Shank1 mRNA is found almost exclusively in brain, Shank2 in brain, kidney and liver, and Shank3 in heart, brain and spleen.

SAM domain of SAM_Neurabin-like subfamily; SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain of Neurabin-like (Neural actin-binding) subfamily is a putative protein-protein interaction domain. This group currently includes the SAM domains of neurobin-I, SAMD14 and neurobin-I/SAMD14-like proteins. Most are multidomain proteins and in addition to SAM domain they contain other protein-binding domains such as PDZ and actin-binding domains. Members of this subfamily participate in signal transduction. Neurabin-I is involved in the regulation of Ca signaling intensity in alpha-adrenergic receptors; it forms a functional pair of opposing regulators with neurabin-II. Neurabins are expressed almost exclusively in neuronal cells. They are known to interact with protein phosphatase 1 and inhibit its activity; they also can bind actin filaments; however, the exact role of the SAM domain is unclear, since SAM doesn't participate in these interactions.

SAM domain of diacylglycerol kinase delta; SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain of DGK-delta subfamily proteins is a protein-protein interaction domain. Proteins of this subfamily are multidomain diacylglycerol kinases with a SAM domain located at the C-terminus. DGK-delta proteins participate in signal transduction. They regulate the level of second messengers such as diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid. In particular DGK-delta is involved in the regulation of clathrin-dependent endocytosis. The SAM domain of DGK-delta proteins can form high molecular weight homooligomers through head-to-tail interactions as well as heterooligomers with the SAM domain of DGK-eta proteins. The oligomerization plays a role in the regulation of the DGK-delta intracellular localization: it inhibits the translocation of the protein to the plasma membrane from the cytoplasm. The SAM domain also can bind Zn at multiple (not conserved) sites driving the formation of highly ordered large sheets of polymers, thus suggesting that Zn may play important role in the function of DCK-delta.

The SAM domain of DCK-eta proteins can form high molecular weight homooligomers through head-to-tail interactions as well as heterooligomers with the SAM domain of DGK-delta proteins. The oligomerization plays a role in the regulation of the DGK-delta intracellular localization: it is responsible for sustained endosomal localization of the protein and resulted in negative regulation of DCK-eta catalytic activity.

PDZD2 has seven PDZ domains, and is expressed at exceptionally high levels in the pancreas and certain cancer tissues such as prostate cancer. It promotes the proliferation of insulinoma cells and is upregulated during prostate tumorigenesis. In osteosarcoma (OS), the microRNA miR-363 acts as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting PDZD2. PDZ domains usually bind in a sequence-specific manner to short peptide sequences located at the C-terminal end of their partner proteins (known as PDZ binding motifs).

SAM domain of aveugle-like subfamily; SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain of SAM_aveugle-like subfamily is a protein-protein interaction domain. In Drosophila, the aveugle (AVE) protein (also known as HYP (Hyphen)) is involved in normal photoreceptor differentiation, and required for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling between ras and raf genes during eye development and wing vein formation. SAM domain of the HYP(AVE) protein interacts with SAM domain of CNK, the multidomain scaffold protein connector enhancer of kinase suppressor of ras. CNK/HYP(AVE) complex interacts with KSR (kinase suppressor of Ras) protein. This interaction leads to stimulation of Ras-dependent Raf activation.

SAM domain of Polycomb group; SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain of Polycomb group is a protein-protein interaction domain. The Polycomb group includes transcriptional repressors which are involved in the regulation of some key regulatory genes during development in many organisms. They are best known for silencing Hox (Homeobox) genes. Polycomb proteins work together in large multimeric and chromatin-associated complexes. They organize chromatin of the target genes and maintain repressed states during many cell divisions. Polycomb proteins are classified based on their common function, but not on conserved domains and/or motifs; however many Polycomb proteins (members of PRC1 class complex) contain SAM domains which are more similar to each other inside of the Polycomb group than to SAM domains outside of it. Most information about structure and function of Polycomb SAM domains comes from studies of Ph (Polyhomeotic) and Scm (Sex comb on midleg) proteins. Polycomb SAM domains usually can be found at the C-terminus of the proteins. Some members of this group contain, in addition to the SAM domain, MTB repeats, Zn finger, and/or DUF3588 domains. Polycomb SAM domains can form homo- and/or heterooligomers through ML and EH surfaces. SAM/SAM oligomers apparently play a role in transcriptional repression through polymerization along the chromosome. Polycomb proteins are known to be highly expressed in some cells years before their cancer pathology; thus they are attractive markers for early cancer therapy.

PDZ domain 9 of multi-PDZ-domain protein 1 (MUPP1) and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 9 of MUPP1. MUPP1 and PATJ serve as scaffolding proteins linking different proteins and protein complexes involved in the organization of tight junctions and epithelial polarity. MUPP1 contains an L27 (Lin-2 and Lin-7 binding) domain and 13 PDZ domains. PATJ (also known as INAD-like) contains an L27 domain and ten PDZ domains. PATJ lacks 3 PDZ domains seen in MUPP1: PDZ6, PDZ9, and PDZ13. This MuPP1-like PDZ9 domain is therefore absent from PATJ. MUPP1 and PATJ share several binding partners, including junctional adhesion molecules (JAM), zonula occludens (ZO)-3, Pals1 (protein associated with Lin-7), Par (partitioning defective)-6 proteins, and nectins (adherence junction adhesion molecules). PDZ domains usually bind in a sequence-specific manner to short peptide sequences located at the C-terminal end of their partner proteins (known as PDZ binding motifs).

SAM domain of tankyrase1,2 subfamily; SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain of Tankyrase1,2 subfamily is a protein-protein interaction domain. In addition to the SAM domain, proteins of this group have ankyrin repeats and a ADP- ribosyltransferase (poly-(ADP-ribose) synthase) domain. Tankyrases can polymerize through their SAM domains forming homoligomers and these complexes are disrupted by autoribosylation. Tankyrases apparently act as master scaffolding proteins and thus may interact simultaneously with multiple proteins, in particular with TRF1, NuMA, IRAP and Grb14 (ankyrin repeats are involved in these interactions). Tankyrases participate in a variety of cell signaling pathways as effector molecules. Their functions are different depending on the intracellular location: at telomeres they play a role in the regulation of telomere length via control of telomerase access to telomeres, at centrosomes they promote spindle assembly/disassembly, in Golgi vesicles they participate in the regulation of vesicle trafficking and Golgi dynamics. Tankyrase 1 may be of interest as new potential target for telomerase-directed cancer therapy.

MPP3 is part of a cell adhesion protein complex including tumor suppressor CADM1 and actin-binding protein 4.1B. Participation in the Crumbs cell polarity complex has also been demonstrated for MPP7 in epithelial cells, and for MPP3 and MPP4 in the retina. MPP4 is needed for proper localization of plasma membrane calcium ATPases and maintenance of calcium homeostasis at the rod photoreceptor synaptic terminals. Binding partners of the MPP3 PDZ domain include nectin-3, serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT(2C) receptor, and a cell adhesion protein, TSLC1 (tumor suppressor in lung cancer 1); fragments of MPP4 having the PDZ domain bind CRB (PDZ-SH3-GUK) and GABA transporter GAT1 (PDZ-SH3).

PDZ domain 4 of PDZ domain containing 2 (PDZD2), PDZ domain 2 of human pro-interleukin-16 (isoform 1, 1332 AA), and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 4 of PDZD2, also known as KIAA0300, PIN-1, activated in prostate cancer (AIPC) and PDZ domain-containing protein 3 (PDZK3). PDZD2 has seven PDZ domains. PDZD2 is expressed at exceptionally high levels in the pancreas and certain cancer tissues, such as prostate cancer. It promotes the proliferation of insulinoma cells and is upregulated during prostate tumorigenesis. In osteosarcoma (OS), the microRNA miR-363 acts as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting PDZD2. This family also includes the second PDZ domain (PDZ2) of human pro-interleukin-16 (isoform 1, also known as nPro-Il-16; 1332 amino-acid protein). Precursor IL-16 is cleaved to produce pro-IL-16 and mature IL-16 (derived from the C-terminal 121 AA). Pro-IL-16 functions as a regulator of T cell growth; mature IL-16 is a CD4 ligand that induces chemotaxis and CD25 expression in CD4+ T cells. IL-16 bioactivity has been closely associated with the progression of several different cancers PDZ domains usually bind in a sequence-specific manner to short peptide sequences located at the C-terminal end of their partner proteins (known as PDZ binding motifs).

SAM domain of DDHD2; SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain of DDHD2 group is a potential protein-protein interaction domain. DDHD2 proteins contain at least two domains:a SAM domain and a predicted metal-binding domain. Phospholipase A1 activity was demonstrated for the mammalian DDHD2 protein. Mutation of the putative catalytic serine resulted in elimination of activity. Unlike SEC23IP, DDHD2 proteins do not have an N-terminal proline-rich region and correspondingly they are not able to interact with Sec23p/Sec24p complex. Overexpression of DDHD2 is the cause of dispersion of ER/Golgi intermediate compartment and dispersion of tethering proteins located in the Golgi region, leading to aggregation in the endoplasmic reticulum.

circularly permuted PDZ domains of Escherichia coli Regulator of sigma-E protease (RseP) and related domains; Permuted PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain of ResP (also known as Site-2 protease RseP, and YaeL), and related domains. RseP is involved in the regulation of an extracytoplasmic stress response through the cleavage of membrane-spanning anti-stress-response transcription factor (anti-sigmE) protein RseA; it cleaves the peptide bond between the critical alanine and cysteine in the transmembrane region of RseA, releasing the cytoplasmic domain of RseA with its associated sigmaE. RseP contains two tandem-arranged periplasmic PDZ domains (PDZ-N/PDZ1 and PDZ-C/PDZ2) which act to negatively regulate protease action on intact RseA; they serve as a size-exclusion filter which prevents the access of an intact RseA into the active site of RseP. PDZ domains usually bind in sequence-specific manner to short peptide sequences located at the C-terminal of their partner proteins (known as PDZ binding motifs). The PDZ superfamily includes canonical PDZ domains and as well as those with circular permutations and domain swapping of beta-strands. The canonical PDZ domain contains six beta-strands A-F and two alpha-helices (alpha-helix 1 and 2); arranged as beta-strands A, B, C, alpha-helix 1, beta-strands D, E, alpha-helix 2 and beta-strand F. This RseP family PDZ domain is a circularly permuted PDZ domain which places both beta-strands A and B at the C-terminus. Another permutation exists in the PDZ superfamily which places beta-strand A at the C-terminus.

PDZ domains of the Na+/H+ exchange regulatory cofactor (NHERF) family (NHERF1-4), and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain of the Na+/H+ exchange regulatory cofactor (NHERF) family of multi-PDZ-domain-containing scaffolding proteins (NHERF1-4), and related domains. The NHERF family includes NHERF1 (also known as EBP50), NHERF2 (also known as E3KARP; TKA-1; SIP-1), NHERF3 (also known as CAP70; CLAMP; Napi-Cap-1; PDZD1) and NHERF4 (also known as IKEPP; PDZK2; Napi-Cap-2). NHERF1 and NHERF2 have tandem PDZ domains (PDZ1-2); NHERF3 and NHERF4 have four PDZ domains (PDZ1-4). NHERFs are involved in the regulation of multiple receptors or transporters, such as type II sodium-phosphate cotransporter (Npt2a), purinergic P2Y1 receptor P2Y1R, the beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2-AR), parathyroid hormone receptor type 1 (PTHR), the lysophosphatidic acid receptors (LPARs), sodium-hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3), and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). NHERF-PDZ1 domain interaction partners include Npt2a, purinergic P2Y1 receptor, beta2-AR, CFTR, PTHR, NH3, G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 6 (GRK6A), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), B1 subunit of the H+ATPase, cholesterol, receptor for activated C-kinase RACK1, aquaporin 9, among others. The NHERF PDZ2 domain interacts with fewer proteins: NHERF1 PDZ2 binds Npt2a, PTHR, beta-catenin, aquaporin 9, and RACK1; NHERF2 PDZ2 binds LPA2, P2Y1R, and NHE3, cGMP-dependent protein kinase type II (cGKII). NHERF4 PDZ1 and PDZ4 bind the epithelial Ca(2+) channels TRPV5 and TRPV6. NHERF2/NHERF3 heterodimerization is mediated by PDZ domains of NHERF2 and the C-terminal PDZ domain recognition motif of NHERF3. NHERF4 regulates several transporters mediating influx of xenobiotics and nutrients in the small intestine. PDZ domains usually bind in a sequence-specific manner to short peptide sequences located at the C-terminal end of their partner proteins (known as PDZ binding motifs). The PDZ superfamily includes canonical PDZ domains as well as those with circular permutations and domain swapping mediated by beta-strands. This NHERF-like family domain is a canonical PDZ domain containing six beta-strands A-F and two alpha-helices (alpha-helix 1 and 2), arranged in the order: beta-strands A, B, C, alpha-helix 1, beta-strands D, E, alpha-helix 2 and beta-strand F.
