Ephexin Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Ephexin-1 (also called NGEF/ neuronal guanine nucleotide exchange factor) plays a role in the homeostatic modulation of presynaptic neurotransmitter release. Specific functions are still unknown for Ephexin-2 (also called RhoGEF19) and Ephexin-3 (also called Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 5/RhoGEF5, Transforming immortalized mammary oncogene/p60 TIM, and NGEF/neuronalGEF). Ephexin-4 (also called RhoGEF16) acts downstream of EphA2 to promote ligand-independent breast cancer cell migration and invasion toward epidermal growth factor through activation of RhoG. This in turn results in the activation of RhoG which recruits ELMO2 and Dock4 to form a complex with EphA2 at the tips of cortactin-rich protrusions in migrating breast cancer cells. Ephexin-5 is the specific GEF for RhoA activation and the regulation of vascular smooth muscle contractility. It interacts with EPHA4 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. The members of the Ephexin family contains a RhoGEF (DH) followed by a PH domain and an SH3 domain. The ephexin PH domain is believed to act with the DH domain in mediating protein-protein interactions. 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 ephexin-1-like SH3 domain containing Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors; Members of this family contain RhoGEF (also called Dbl-homologous or DH), Pleckstrin Homology (PH), and C-terminal SH3 domains. They include the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors ARHGEF5, ARHGEF16, ARHGEF19, ARHGEF26, ARHGEF27 (also called ephexin-1), and similar proteins, and are also called ephexins because they interact directly with ephrin A receptors. GEFs interact with Rho GTPases via their DH domains to catalyze nucleotide exchange by stabilizing the nucleotide-free GTPase intermediate. They play important roles in neuronal development. The SH3 domains of ARHGEFs play an autoinhibitory role through intramolecular interactions with a proline-rich region N-terminal to the DH domain. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.

Src homology 3 domain of the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors ARHGEF16 and ARHGEF26; ARHGEF16, also called ephexin-4, acts as a GEF for RhoG, activating it by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. RhoG is a small GTPase that is a crucial regulator of Rac in migrating cells. ARHGEF16 interacts directly with the ephrin receptor EphA2 and mediates cell migration and invasion in breast cancer cells by activating RhoG. ARHGEF26, also called SGEF (SH3 domain-containing guanine exchange factor), also activates RhoG. It is highly expressed in liver and may play a role in regulating membrane dynamics. ARHGEF16 and ARHGEF26 contain RhoGEF (also called Dbl-homologous or DH), Pleckstrin Homology (PH), and SH3 domains. The SH3 domains of ARHGEFs play an autoinhibitory role through intramolecular interactions with a proline-rich region N-terminal to the DH domain. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.

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.

NADPH oxidase catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADPH to oxygen during phagocytosis forming superoxide and reactive oxygen species. p67phox plays a regulatory role and contains N-terminal TPR, first SH3 (or N-terminal or central SH3), PB1, and C-terminal SH3 domains. It binds, via its C-terminal SH3 domain, to a proline-rich region of p47phox and upon activation, this complex assembles with flavocytochrome b558, the Nox2-p22phox heterodimer. Concurrently, RacGTP translocates to the membrane and interacts with the TPR domain of p67phox, which leads to the activation of NADPH oxidase. The PB1 domain of p67phox binds to its partner PB1 domain in p40phox, and this facilitates the assembly of p47phox-p67phox at the membrane.

In some vertebrates, there are two TULA family proteins, called UBASH3A (also called TULA or STS-2) and UBASH3B (also called TULA-2 or STS-1), which show partly overlapping as well as distinct functions. UBASH3B is widely expressed while UBASH3A is only found in lymphoid cells. UBASH3A facilitates apoptosis induced in T cells through its interaction with the apoptosis-inducing factor AIF. UBASH3B is an active phosphatase while UBASH3A is not. 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.

Fourth Src homology 3 domain (or SH3D) 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 fourth SH3 domain (or SH3D) of ITSN1 has been shown to bind SHIP2, Numb, CdGAP, and N-WASP. 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 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 second SH3 domain of Nck appears to prefer ligands containing the APxxPxR 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.
