PDZ domain 8 of multi-PDZ-domain protein 1 (MUPP1), PDZ domain 7 of protein-associated tight junction (PATJ), PDZ domain 2 of Drosophila melanogaster inactivation-no-after-potential D (INAD), and related domains
PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 8 of MUPP1, PDZ domain 7 of PATJ, and PDZ domain 2 of Drosophila melanogaster INAD, and related domains. 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. 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). PATJ lacks 3 PDZ domains seen in MUPP1: PDZ6, 9, and 13; consequently, MUPP1 PDZ7 and 8 align with PATJ PDZ6 and 7; and MUPP1 PDZ domains 10-12 align with PATJ PDZ domains 8-10. INAD assembles key enzymes of the Drosophila compound eye photo-transduction pathway into a supramolecular complex, supporting efficient and fast light signaling. It contains 5 PDZ domains arranged in tandem (PDZ1-PDZ5) which independently bind various proteins. INAD PDZ2 binds eye-specific protein kinase C. 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 MUPP1-like family PDZ8 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.
Feature 1:peptide binding site [polypeptide binding site]
Evidence:
Comment:based on canonical PDZ domains with structure
Comment:PDZ domains specifically recognize and bind to short C-terminal peptide motifs, but can also recognize internal peptide motifs and certain lipids
