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 Rho GTPase-activating protein 9 and similar proteins; This subfamily is composed of Rho GTPase-activating proteins including mammalian ARHGAP9, and vertebrate ARHGAPs 12 and 27. RhoGAPs (or ARHGAPs) bind to Rho proteins and enhance the hydrolysis rates of bound GTP. ARHGAP9 functions as a GAP for Rac and Cdc42, but not for RhoA. It negatively regulates cell migration and adhesion. It also acts as a docking protein for the MAP kinases Erk2 and p38alpha, and may facilitate cross-talk between the Rho GTPase and MAPK pathways to control actin remodeling. ARHGAP27, also called CAMGAP1, shows GAP activity towards Rac1 and Cdc42. It binds the adaptor protein CIN85 and may play a role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. ARHGAP12 has been shown to display GAP activity towards Rac1. It plays a role in regulating HFG-driven cell growth and invasiveness. ARHGAPs in this subfamily contain SH3, WW, Pleckstin homology (PH), and RhoGAP domains. SH3 domains bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs; they play a role in the regulation of enzymes by intramolecular interactions, changing the subcellular localization of signal pathway components and mediate multiprotein complex assemblies.

Most members of this group also contain Phox homology (PX) domains, except for obscurin and Myosin-I. p47phox and NoxO1 are regulators of the phagocytic NADPH oxidase complex (also called Nox2 or gp91phox) and nonphagocytic NADPH oxidase Nox1, respectively. They play roles in the activation of their respective NADPH oxidase, which catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADPH to molecular oxygen to form superoxide. 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. Obscurin is a giant muscle protein that plays important roles in the organization and assembly of the myofibril and the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Type I myosins (Myosin-I) are actin-dependent motors in endocytic actin structures and actin patches. They play roles in membrane traffic in endocytic and secretory pathways, cell motility, and mechanosensing. Myosin-I contains an N-terminal actin-activated ATPase, a phospholipid-binding TH1 (tail homology 1) domain, and a C-terminal extension which includes an F-actin-binding TH2 domain, an SH3 domain, and an acidic peptide that participates in activating the Arp2/3complex. The SH3 domain of myosin-I is required for myosin-I-induced actin polymerization. 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.

Helically-extended SH3 domain; This domain is the 70 C-terminal residues of ADAP - Adhesion and de-granulation promoting adapter protein. It shows homology to SH3 domains; however, conserved residues of the fold are absent. It thus represents an altered SH3 domain fold. An N-terminal, amphipathic, helix makes extensive contacts to residues of the regular SH3 domain fold thereby creating a composite surface with unusual surface properties. The domain can no longer bind conventional proline-rich peptides. There are key phosphorylation sites within the two hSH3 domains and it would appear that binding at these sites does not materially affect the folding of these regions although the equilibrium towards the unfolded state may be slightly altered. The binding partners of the hSH3 domains are still unknown.

Src Homology 3 domain of C-terminal Src kinase; CSK is a cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) tyr kinase containing the Src homology domains, SH3 and SH2, N-terminal to the catalytic tyr kinase domain. They negatively regulate the activity of Src kinases that are anchored to the plasma membrane. To inhibit Src kinases, CSK is translocated to the membrane via binding to specific transmembrane proteins, G-proteins, or adaptor proteins near the membrane. CSK catalyzes the tyr phosphorylation of the regulatory C-terminal tail of Src kinases, resulting in their inactivation. It is expressed in a wide variety of tissues and plays a role, as a regulator of Src, in cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation, and consequently, in cancer development and progression. In addition, CSK also shows Src-independent functions. It is a critical component in G-protein signaling, and plays a role in cytoskeletal reorganization and cell migration. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs.

It is an adaptor protein containing one sorbin homology (SoHo) and three SH3 domains. Vinexin was first identified as a vinculin binding protein; it is co-localized with vinculin at cell-ECM and cell-cell adhesion sites. There are several splice variants of vinexin: alpha, which contains the SoHo and three SH3 domains and displays tissue-specific expression; and beta, which contains only the three SH3 domains and is widely expressed. Vinexin alpha stimulates the accumulation of F-actin at focal contact sites. Vinexin also promotes keratinocyte migration and wound healing. The SH3 domains of vinexin have been reported to bind a number of ligands including vinculin, WAVE2, DLG5, Abl, and Cbl. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs.

It plays a role in facilitating neurotrophin-dependent neurite outgrowth. It also interacts with NEMO (or IKKgamma) and may function in NEMO-mediated activation of NF-kB. RUSC2, also called Iporin, is expressed ubiquitously with highest amounts in the brain and testis. It interacts with the small GTPase Rab1 and the Golgi matrix protein GM130, and may function in linking GTPases to certain intracellular signaling pathways. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs.

Third Src Homology 3 domain of Nck2 adaptor protein; Nck2 (also called Nckbeta or Growth factor receptor-bound protein 4, Grb4) plays a crucial role in connecting signaling pathways of tyrosine kinase receptors and important effectors in actin dynamics and cytoskeletal remodeling. It binds neuronal signaling proteins such as ephrinB and Disabled-1 (Dab-1) exclusively. Nck adaptor proteins regulate actin cytoskeleton dynamics by linking proline-rich effector molecules to protein tyrosine kinases and phosphorylated signaling intermediates. They contain three SH3 domains and a C-terminal SH2 domain. They function downstream of the PDGFbeta receptor and are involved in Rho GTPase signaling and actin dynamics. Vertebrates contain two Nck adaptor proteins: Nck1 (also called Nckalpha) and Nck2, which show partly overlapping functions but also bind distinct targets. The third SH3 domain of Nck appears to prefer ligands with a PxAPxR motif. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that usually bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially a PxxP motif. 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 GRB2-related adaptor protein; GRAP is a GRB-2 like adaptor protein that is highly expressed in lymphoid tissues. It acts as a negative regulator of T cell receptor (TCR)-induced lymphocyte proliferation by downregulating the signaling to the Ras/ERK pathway. It has been identified as a regulator of TGFbeta signaling in diabetic kidney tubules and may have a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. GRAP contains an N-terminal SH3 domain, a central SH2 domain, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. The C-terminal SH3 domains (SH3c) of the related proteins, 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.

Src Homology 3 domain of Sorting nexin 9; Sorting nexin 9 (SNX9), also known as SH3PX1, is a cytosolic protein that interacts with proteins associated with clathrin-coated pits such as Cdc-42-associated tyrosine kinase 2 (ACK2). It binds class I polyproline sequences found in dynamin 1/2 and the WASP/N-WASP actin regulators. SNX9 is localized to plasma membrane endocytic sites and acts primarily in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Its array of interacting partners suggests that SNX9 functions at the interface between endocytosis and actin cytoskeletal organization. SNXs are Phox homology (PX) domain containing proteins that are involved in regulating membrane traffic and protein sorting in the endosomal system. SNX9 also contains BAR 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.

Third Src Homology 3 domain of Nck1 adaptor protein; Nck1 (also called Nckalpha) plays a crucial role in connecting signaling pathways of tyrosine kinase receptors and important effectors in actin dynamics and cytoskeletal remodeling. It binds and activates RasGAP, resulting in the downregulation of Ras. It is also involved in the signaling of endothilin-mediated inhibition of cell migration. Nck adaptor proteins regulate actin cytoskeleton dynamics by linking proline-rich effector molecules to protein tyrosine kinases and phosphorylated signaling intermediates. They contain three SH3 domains and a C-terminal SH2 domain. They function downstream of the PDGFbeta receptor and are involved in Rho GTPase signaling and actin dynamics. Vertebrates contain two Nck adaptor proteins: Nck1 (also called Nckalpha) and Nck2, which show partly overlapping functions but also bind distinct targets. The third SH3 domain of Nck appears to prefer ligands with a PxAPxR motif. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that usually bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially a PxxP motif. 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 the Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Abelson kinase; Abl (or c-Abl) is a ubiquitously-expressed cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) PTK that contains SH3, SH2, and tyr kinase domains in its N-terminal region, as well as nuclear localization motifs, a putative DNA-binding domain, and F- and G-actin binding domains in its C-terminal tail. It also contains a short autoinhibitory cap region in its N-terminus. Abl function depends on its subcellular localization. In the cytoplasm, Abl plays a role in cell proliferation and survival. In response to DNA damage or oxidative stress, Abl is transported to the nucleus where it induces apoptosis. In chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients, an aberrant translocation results in the replacement of the first exon of Abl with the BCR (breakpoint cluster region) gene. The resulting BCR-Abl fusion protein is constitutively active and associates into tetramers, resulting in a hyperactive kinase sending a continuous signal. This leads to uncontrolled proliferation, morphological transformation and anti-apoptotic effects. BCR-Abl is the target of selective inhibitors, such as imatinib (Gleevec), used in the treatment of CML. Abl2, also known as ARG (Abelson-related gene), is thought to play a cooperative role with Abl in the proper development of the nervous system. The Tel-ARG fusion protein, resulting from reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 1 and 12, is associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). 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.

First C-terminal Src homology 3 domain of SH3 and cysteine-rich domain-containing (Stac) proteins; Stac proteins are putative adaptor proteins that contain a cysteine-rich C1 domain and one or two SH3 domains at the C-terminus. There are three mammalian members (Stac1, Stac2, and Stac3) of this family. Stac1 and Stac3 contain two SH3 domains while Stac2 contains a single SH3 domain at the C-terminus. This model represents the first C-terminal SH3 domain of Stac1 and Stac3, and the single C-terminal SH3 domain of Stac2. Stac1 and Stac2 have been found to be expressed differently in mature dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. Stac1 is mainly expressed in peptidergic neurons while Stac2 is found in a subset of nonpeptidergic and all trkB+ neurons. 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-1; Intersectin-1 (ITSN1) 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. ITSN1 localizes in membranous organelles, CCPs, the Golgi complex, and may be involved in the cell membrane trafficking system. 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 ITSN1 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.

First Src Homology 3 domain of Nck adaptor proteins; Nck adaptor proteins regulate actin cytoskeleton dynamics by linking proline-rich effector molecules to protein tyrosine kinases and phosphorylated signaling intermediates. They contain three SH3 domains and a C-terminal SH2 domain. They function downstream of the PDGFbeta receptor and are involved in Rho GTPase signaling and actin dynamics. Vertebrates contain two Nck adaptor proteins: Nck1 (also called Nckalpha) and Nck2 (also called Nckbeta or Growth factor receptor-bound protein 4, Grb4), which show partly overlapping functions but also bind distinct targets. Their SH3 domains are involved in recruiting downstream effector molecules, such as the N-WASP/Arp2/3 complex, which when activated induces actin polymerization that results in the production of pedestals, or protrusions of the plasma membrane. The first SH3 domain of Nck proteins preferentially binds the PxxDY sequence, which is present in the CD3e cytoplasmic tail. This binding inhibits phosphorylation by Src kinases, resulting in the downregulation of TCR surface expression. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that usually bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially a PxxP motif. 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.
