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.

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. 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.

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.

C-terminal Src homology 3 domain of GRB2-related adaptor protein 2; GRAP2 is also called GADS (GRB2-related adapter downstream of Shc), GrpL, GRB2L, Mona, or GRID (Grb2-related protein with insert domain). It is expressed specifically in the hematopoietic system. It 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. It also has roles in antigen-receptor and tyrosine kinase mediated signaling. GRAP2 is unique from other GRB2-like adaptor proteins in that it can be regulated by caspase cleavage. It contains an N-terminal SH3 domain, a central SH2 domain, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. The C-terminal SH3 domain of GRAP2 binds to different motifs found in substrate peptides including the typical PxxP motif in hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1), the RxxK motif in SLP-76 and HPK1, and the RxxxxK motif in phosphatase-like protein HD-PTP. 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.

Son of Sevenless (SOS) Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; SOS is a Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor. SOS is thought to transmit signals from activated receptor tyrosine kinases to the Ras signaling pathway. SOS contains a histone domain, Dbl-homology (DH), a PH domain, Rem domain, Cdc25 domain, and a Grb2 binding domain. The SOS PH domain binds to phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and phosphatidic acid (PA). SOS is dependent on Ras binding to the allosteric site via its histone domain for both a lower level of activity (Ras GDP) and maximal activity (Ras GTP). The DH domain blocks the allosteric Ras binding site in SOS. The PH domain is closely associated with the DH domain and the action of the DH-PH unit gates a reciprocal interaction between Ras and SOS. The C-terminal proline-rich domain of SOS binds to the adapter protein Grb2 which localizes the Sos protein to the plasma membrane and diminishes the negative effect of the C-terminal domain on the guanine nucleotide exchange activity of the CDC25-homology domain of SOS. 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.

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.

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. 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.

It is abundantly expressed in skeletal muscle and heart, and may be involved in regulating the activity of ADAMs (A disintegrin and metalloproteases). Eve-1 interacts with EEN, an endophilin involved in endocytosis and may be the target of the MLL-EEN fusion protein that is implicated in leukemogenesis. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs.

Src Homology 3 (SH3) domain of Apoptosis Stimulating of p53 protein 2; ASPP2 is the full length form of the previously-identified tumor supressor, p53-binding protein 2 (p53BP2). ASPP2 activates the apoptotic function of the p53 family of tumor suppressors (p53, p63, and p73). It plays a central role in regulating apoptosis and cell growth; ASPP2-deficient mice show postnatal death. Downregulated expression of ASPP2 is frequently found in breast tumors, lung cancer, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma where it is correlated with a poor clinical outcome. ASPP2 contains a proline-rich region, four ankyrin (ANK) repeats, and an SH3 domain at its C-terminal half. The SH3 domain and the ANK repeats of ASPP2 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.

Src homology 3 domain of Src kinase-like Protein Tyrosine Kinases; Src subfamily members include Src, Lck, Hck, Blk, Lyn, Fgr, Fyn, Yrk, Yes, and Brk. Src (or c-Src) proteins are cytoplasmic (or non-receptor) PTKs which are anchored to the plasma membrane. They contain an N-terminal SH4 domain with a myristoylation site, followed by SH3 and SH2 domains, a tyr kinase domain, and a regulatory C-terminal region containing a conserved tyr. They are activated by autophosphorylation at the tyr kinase domain, but are negatively regulated by phosphorylation at the C-terminal tyr by Csk (C-terminal Src Kinase). However, Brk lacks the N-terminal myristoylation sites. Src proteins are involved in signaling pathways that regulate cytokine and growth factor responses, cytoskeleton dynamics, cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. They were identified as the first proto-oncogene products, and they regulate cell adhesion, invasion, and motility in cancer cells, and tumor vasculature, contributing to cancer progression and metastasis. Src kinases are overexpressed in a variety of human cancers, making them attractive targets for therapy. They are also implicated in acute inflammatory responses and osteoclast function. Src, Fyn, Yes, and Yrk are widely expressed, while Blk, Lck, Hck, Fgr, Lyn, and Brk show a limited expression pattern. This subfamily also includes Drosophila Src42A, Src oncogene at 42A (also known as Dsrc41) which accumulates at sites of cell-cell or cell-matrix adhesion, and participates in Drosphila development and wound healing. It has been shown to promote tube elongation in the tracheal system, is essential for proper cell-cell matching during dorsal closure, and regulates cell-cell contacts in developing Drosophila eyes. The SH3 domain of Src kinases contributes to substrate recruitment by binding adaptor proteins/substrates, and regulation of kinase activity through an intramolecular interaction. 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 Hematopoietic lineage cell-specific protein 1; HS1, also called HCLS1 (hematopoietic cell-specific Lyn substrate 1), is a cortactin homolog expressed specifically in hematopoietic cells. It is an actin regulatory protein that binds the Arp2/3 complex and stabilizes branched actin filaments. It is required for cell spreading and signaling in lymphocytes. It regulates cytoskeletal remodeling that controls lymphocyte trafficking, and it also affects tissue invasion and infiltration of leukemic B cells. Like cortactin, HS1 contains an N-terminal acidic domain, several copies of a repeat domain found in cortactin and HS1, a proline-rich region, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. The N-terminal region binds the Arp2/3 complex and F-actin, while the C-terminal region acts as an adaptor or scaffold that can connect varied proteins that bind the SH3 domain within the actin network. 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 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.

Second Src homology 3 domain (or SH3B) 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 second SH3 domain (or SH3B) of ITSN2 is expected to bind protein partners, similar to ITSN1 which has been shown to bind WNK and CdGAP. 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 Growth Arrest Specific protein 7; GAS7 is mainly expressed in the brain and is required for neurite outgrowth. It may also play a role in the protection and migration of embryonic stem cells. Treatment-related acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has been reported resulting from mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL)-GAS7 translocations as a complication of primary cancer treatment. GAS7 contains an N-terminal SH3 domain, followed by a WW domain, and a central F-BAR 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 Pak Interactive eXchange factors; PIX proteins are Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), which activate small GTPases by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. They act as GEFs for both Cdc42 and Rac 1, and have been implicated in cell motility, adhesion, neurite outgrowth, and cell polarity. Vertebrates contain two proteins from the PIX subfamily, alpha-PIX and beta-PIX. Alpha-PIX, also called ARHGEF6, is localized in dendritic spines where it regulates spine morphogenesis. Mutations in the ARHGEF6 gene cause X-linked intellectual disability in humans. Beta-PIX play roles in regulating neuroendocrine exocytosis, focal adhesion maturation, cell migration, synaptic vesicle localization, and insulin secretion. PIX proteins contain an N-terminal SH3 domain followed by RhoGEF (also called Dbl-homologous or DH) and Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domains, and a C-terminal leucine-zipper domain for dimerization. The SH3 domain of PIX binds to an atypical PxxxPR motif in p21-activated kinases (PAKs) with high affinity. The binding of PAKs to PIX facilitate the localization of PAKs to focal complexes and also localizes PAKs to PIX targets Cdc43 and Rac, leading to the activation of PAKs. 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 (or second) Src Homology 3 domain of the p67phox subunit of NADPH oxidase; p67phox, also called Neutrophil cytosol factor 2 (NCF-2), is a cytosolic subunit of the phagocytic NADPH oxidase complex (also called Nox2 or gp91phox) which plays a crucial role in the cellular response to bacterial infection. 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. 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 Cortactin and related proteins; This subfamily includes cortactin, Abp1 (actin-binding protein 1), hematopoietic lineage cell-specific protein 1 (HS1), and similar proteins. These proteins are involved in regulating actin dynamics through direct or indirect interaction with the Arp2/3 complex, which is required to initiate actin polymerization. They all contain at least one C-terminal SH3 domain. Cortactin and HS1 bind Arp2/3 and actin through an N-terminal region that contains an acidic domain and several copies of a repeat domain found in cortactin and HS1. Abp1 binds actin via an N-terminal actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) homology domain. Yeast Abp1 binds Arp2/3 directly through two acidic domains. Mammalian Abp1 does not directly interact with Arp2/3; instead, it regulates actin dynamics indirectly by interacting with dynamin and WASP family proteins. The C-terminal region of these proteins acts as an adaptor or scaffold that can connect membrane trafficking and signaling proteins that bind the SH3 domain within the actin network. 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.
