PDZ domain of Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2 and Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 6, and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain of Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2 (RapGEF2, also named RA-GEF-1, PDZ-GEF1, CNrasGEF and nRapGEP) and Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 6 (RapGEF6, also named RA-GEF-2 and PDZ-GEF2). RapGEF2 and RapGEF6 constitute a subfamily of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for RAP small GTPases that is characterized by the possession of the PDZ and Ras/Rap-associating domains. They activate Rap small GTPases, by catalyzing the release of GDP from the inactive GDP-bound forms, thereby accelerating GTP loading to yield the active GTP-bound forms. The PDZ domain of RapGEF6 (also known as PDZ-GEF2) binds junctional adhesion molecule A (JAM-A). 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 RapGEF2 and RapGEF6 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.

PDZ domain 2 of the full-length isoform of whirlin and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 2 of the full-length isoform of whirlin and related domains. Whirlin is an essential protein for developmental pathways in photoreceptor cells of the retina and hair cells of the inner ear. The full-length whirlin isoform has two harmonin N-like domains, three PDZ domains, a proline-rich region, and a PDZ-binding motif. Whirlin isoforms may form different complexes at the periciliary membrane complex (PMC) in photoreceptors, and the stereociliary tip and base in inner ear hair cells. It interacts with ADGRV1 and usherin at the PMC; with SANS and RpgrORF15 at the connecting cilium in photoreceptors; with EPS8, MYO15A, p55, and CASK proteins at the stereociliary tip of inner ear hair cells; and with ADGRV1, usherin, and PDZD7 at the stereociliary base in inner ear hair cells. Mutations in the gene encoding whirlin (WHRN; also known as USH2D and DFNB31), have been found to cause either USH2 subtype (USH2D) or autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness type 31 (DFNB31). Whirlin is the key protein in the USH2 complex (whirlin, usherin and GPR98) which recruits other USH2 causative proteins at the periciliary membrane in photoreceptors and the ankle link of the stereocilia in hair cells. Whirlin's interaction with espin, another stereociliary protein, may be important for the architecture of the USH2 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 whirlin family PDZ2 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.

It interacts with ADGRV1 and usherin at the PMC; with SANS and RpgrORF15 at the connecting cilium in photoreceptors; with EPS8, MYO15A, p55, and CASK proteins at the stereociliary tip of inner ear hair cells; and with ADGRV1, usherin, and PDZD7 at the stereociliary base in inner ear hair cells. Mutations in the gene encoding whirlin (WHRN; also known as USH2D and DFNB31), have been found to cause either USH2 subtype (USH2D) or autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness type 31 (DFNB31). Whirlin is the key protein in the USH2 complex (whirlin, usherin and GPR98) which recruits other USH2 causative proteins at the periciliary membrane in photoreceptors and the ankle link of the stereocilia in hair cells. Whirlin's interaction with espin, another stereociliary protein, may be important for the architecture of the USH2 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 whirlin family PDZ1 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.

PDZ domain of PDZ domain-containing protein 11, and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain of PDZD11, and related domains. PDZD11 (also known as ATPase-interacting PDZ protein, plasma membrane calcium ATPase-interacting single-PDZ protein, PMCA-interacting single-PDZ protein, PISP) is involved in the dynamic assembly of apical junctions (AJs). It is recruited by PLEKHA7 to AJs to promote the efficient junctional recruitment and stabilization of nectins, and the efficient early phases of assembly of AJs in epithelial cells. The PDZD11 PDZ domain binds nectin-1 and nectin-3. PDZD11 also binds to a PDZ binding motif located in the C-terminal tail of the human sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter, to the cytoplasmic tail of the Menkes copper ATPase ATP7A, and to the cytoplasmic tail of all plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase b-splice variants. 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.

effector domain of the CAP family of transcription factors; members include CAP (or cAMP receptor protein (CRP)), which binds cAMP, FNR (fumarate and nitrate reduction), which uses an iron-sulfur cluster to sense oxygen) and CooA, a heme containing CO sensor. In all cases binding of the effector leads to conformational changes and the ability to activate transcription. Cyclic nucleotide-binding domain similar to CAP are also present in cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinases (cAPK and cGPK) and vertebrate cyclic nucleotide-gated ion-channels. Cyclic nucleotide-monophosphate binding domain; proteins that bind cyclic nucleotides (cAMP or cGMP) share a structural domain of about 120 residues; the best studied is the prokaryotic catabolite gene activator, CAP, where such a domain is known to be composed of three alpha-helices and a distinctive eight-stranded, antiparallel beta-barrel structure; three conserved glycine residues are thought to be essential for maintenance of the structural integrity of the beta-barrel; CooA is a homodimeric transcription factor that belongs to CAP family; cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinases (cAPK and cGPK) contain two tandem copies of the cyclic nucleotide-binding domain; cAPK's are composed of two different subunits, a catalytic chain and a regulatory chain, which contains both copies of the domain; cGPK's are single chain enzymes that include the two copies of the domain in their N-terminal section; also found in vertebrate cyclic nucleotide-gated ion-channels

PDZ domain 3 of human discs large homolog 1 (Dlg1), Dlg2, and Dlg4, Drosophila disc large (Dlg), and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 3 of Drosophila Dlg1, human Dlg1, 2, and 4 and related domains. Dlg1 (also known as synapse-associated protein Dlg197; SAP-97), Dlg2 (also known as channel-associated protein of synapse-110; postsynaptic density protein 93, PSD-93), Dlg4 (also known as postsynaptic density protein 95, PSD-95; synapse-associated protein 90, SAP-90) each have 3 PDZ domains and belong to the membrane-associated guanylate kinase family. Dlg1 regulates antigen receptor signaling and cell polarity in lymphocytes, B-cell proliferation and antibody production, and TGFalpha bioavailability; its PDZ3 domain binds pro-TGFalpha, and its PDZ2 domain binds the TACE metalloprotease responsible for cleaving pro-TGFalpha to a soluble form. Dlg2 is involved in N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor signaling, regulating surface expression of NMDA receptors in dorsal horn neurons of the spinal cord; it interacts with NMDA receptor subunits and with Shaker-type K+ channel subunits to cluster into a channel complex. The Dlg4 PDZ1 domain binds NMDA receptors, and its PDZ2 domain binds neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), forming a complex in neurons. The Drosophila Scribble complex (Scribble, Dlg, and lethal giant larvae) plays a role in apico-basal cell polarity, and in other forms of polarity, including regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, cell signaling and vesicular trafficking, and in tumor development; postsynaptic targeting of Drosophila DLG requires interactions mediated by the first two PDZ domains. 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 Dlg-like family PDZ3 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.

PDZ domain 3 of Zonula Occludens-1 (ZO-1), homologs ZO-2 and ZO-3, and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 3 of ZO-1, -2, -3 and related domains. Zonula occludens proteins (ZO-1, ZO-2, ZO-3) are multi-PDZ domain proteins involved in the maintenance and biogenesis of multi-protein networks at the cytoplasmic surface of intercellular contacts in epithelial and endothelial cells. They have three N-terminal PDZ domains, PDZ1-3, followed by a Src homology-3 (SH3) domain and a guanylate kinase (GuK)-like domain. Among protein-protein interactions for all ZO proteins is the binding of the first PDZ domain (PDZ1) to the C-termini of claudins , and the homo- and hetero-dimerization of ZO-proteins via their second PDZ domain (PDZ2), which takes place by symmetrical domain swapping of the first two beta-strands of PDZ2. At the cell level, ZO-1 and ZO-2 are involved in polarity maintenance, gene transcription, cell proliferation, and tumor cell metastasis. 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.

PDZ domain 1 of harmonin isoforms a, b, and c, and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 1 of harmonin isoforms a, b, and c, and related domains. Harmonin (also known as Usher Type 1C, PDZ-73 and AIE-75) is a key organizer of the Usher (USH) protein interactome. USH syndrome is the leading cause of hereditary sensory deaf-blindness in humans; three clinically distinct types of USH have been identified, type 1 to 3. The gene encoding harmonin (USH1C) is the causative gene for the USH type 1C phenotype. There are at least 10 alternatively spliced isoforms of harmonin, which are divided into three subclasses (a, b, and c). All isoforms contain the first two PDZ domains and the first coiled-coil domain. The a and b isoforms all have a third PDZ domain. The different PDZ domains are responsible for interactions with all known Usher syndrome type 1 proteins, and most Usher syndrome type 2 proteins. 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.

PDZ domain 3 of PDZ domain containing 2 (PDZD2), PDZ domain 1 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 3 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 first PDZ domain (PDZ1) 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). The PDZ superfamily includes canonical PDZ domains as well as those with circular permutations and domain swapping mediated by beta-strands.

PDZ domain of protein Lin-7 and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain of Lin-7 (also known as LIN-7 or LIN7), and related domains. Lin-7 targets and organize protein complexes to epithelial and synaptic plasma membranes. There are three mammalian Lin-7 homologs: Lin-7A (protein lin-7 homolog A, also known as mammalian lin-seven protein 1 (MALS-1), vertebrate lin-7 homolog 1 (Veli-1), tax interaction protein 33); Lin-7B (also known as MALS-2, Veli-2); and Lin-7C (also known as MALS-3, Veli-3). Lin-7 is involved in localization of the Let-23 growth factor receptor to the basolateral membrane of epithelial cells, in tight junction localization of insulin receptor substrate p53 (IRSp53), in retaining gamma-aminobutyric (GABA) transporter (BGT-1) at the basolateral surface of epithelial cells, and in regulating recruitment of neurotransmitter receptors to the postsynaptic density (PSD). The Lin7 PDZ domain binds Let-23, BGT and beta-catenin, and NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor NR2B. Lin-7 also binds to the PDZ binding motif located in the C-terminal tail of Rhotekin, an effector protein for small GTPase Rho.

PDZ-LIM family proteins (also known as Zasp PDZ domain proteins) are involved in the rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton; they mediate association with the cytoskeleton through alpha-actinin as well as with other proteins involved in signal transduction pathways. Members of this family include PDLIM1 (also known as C-terminal LIM domain protein 1, elfin, LIM domain protein CLP-36), PDLIM2 (also known as PDZ-LIM protein mystique), PDLIM3 (also known as actinin-associated LIM protein, alpha-actinin-2-associated LIM protein, ALP), PDLIM4 (also known as LIM protein RIL, Reversion-induced LIM protein), PDLIM5 (also known as enigma homolog, ENH, enigma-like PDZ and LIM domains protein), PDLIM6 (also known as LIM domain-binding protein 3, ZASP, Cypher, Oracle), and PDLIM7 (also known as PDZ and LIM domain protein 7, LIM mineralization protein, LMP; protein enigma). PDLIM1 has been shown to negatively regulate NF-kappaB-mediated signaling in the cytoplasm. PDLIM7 negatively regulates p53 through binding murine double minute 2 (MDM2). The PDZ domains of PDZ-LIM family proteins PDLIM1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 have been shown to bind actin. Other PDZ-LIM family PDZ domain binding partners include thyroid receptor interacting protein-6 (PDLIM4-PDZ), the LIM domain of PDLIM4 (PDLIM4-PDZ), tropomyosin (PDLIM7-PDZ), myotilin and calsarcin 1 (PDLIM6-PDZ), and proteins from the myotilin and FATZ (calsarcin/myozenin) families (PDLIM1, 3, 4, 6 PDZ domains). 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 PDLIM-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.

PDZ domain 3 of multi-PDZ-domain protein 1 (MUPP1) and PATJ (protein-associated tight junction) and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 3 of MUPP1 and PATJ, 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. 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 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.

circularly permuted second PDZ domain (PDZ2) of Escherichia coli periplasmic serine endoprotease DegP and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 2 of Escherichia coli DegP (also known as heat shock protein DegP and Protease Do), and related domains. DegP belongs to the HtrA family of housekeeping proteases. It acts as a protease, degrading transiently denatured and unfolded or misfolded proteins which accumulate in the periplasm following heat shock or other stress conditions, and as a molecular chaperone at low temperatures. DegP has two PDZ domains in addition to the protease domain; its PDZ1 domain is responsible for the identifying the distinct substrate sequences that affect degradation (degron) of the substrate sequence, and its PDZ2 domain is responsible for the combining with other DegP monomers to form a stable oligomer structure. PDZ domains usually bind in a 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 A, B, C, alpha-helix 1, beta-strands D, E, alpha-helix 2 and beta-strand F. This DegP family PDZ domain 2 is a circularly permuted PDZ domain which places beta-strand A on the C-terminus. Another permutation exists in the PDZ superfamily which places both beta-strands A and B on the C-terminus.

PDZ domain 1 of Drosophila Scribble, human Scribble homolog, and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 1 of Drosophila Scribble (also known as LAP4), human Scribble homolog (also known as hScrib, LAP4, CriB1, ScrB1 and Vartul), and related domains. They belong to the LAP family, which describes proteins that contain either one or four PDZ domains and 16 LRRs (leucine-rich repeats) and function in controlling cell shape, size and subcellular protein localization. In Drosophila, the Scribble complex, comprising Scribble, discs large, and lethal giant larvae, plays a role in apico-basal cell polarity, in other forms of polarity, including regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, cell signaling and vesicular trafficking, and in tumor development. Mammalian Scribble is important in many aspects of cancer development. Scribble and its homologs can be downregulated or overexpressed in cancer; they have a role in cancer beyond their function in loss of cell polarity. 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 Scribble-like family PDZ1 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.

PDZ domain of tax1-binding protein 3 (TAX1BP3), and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain of TAX1BP3, and related domains. TAX1BP3 (also known as glutaminase-interacting protein 3, tax interaction protein 1, TIP-1, tax-interacting protein 1) may regulate a number of protein-protein interactions by competing for PDZ domain binding sites. TAX1BP3 binds beta-catenin and may act as an inhibitor of the Wnt signaling pathway. It competes with LIN7A (also known as Lin-7A or LIN-7A) for inward rectifier potassium channel 4 (KCNJ4) binding, and thereby promotes KCNJ4 internalization. It may play a role in the Rho signaling pathway, and in the activation of CDC42 by the viral protein HPV16 E6. Binding partners of the TAX1BP3 PDZ domain include beta-catenin, KCNJ4, glutaminase liver isoform (GLS2), rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 16 (ARHGEF16), rhotekin, and CDK5 regulatory subunit-associated protein 3 (also known as LAPZ). 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.

PDZ domain 2 of PDZ domain containing 2 (PDZD2), and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 2 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, 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). The PDZ superfamily includes canonical PDZ domains as well as those with circular permutations and domain swapping mediated by beta-strands.
