Human Oxysterol binding protein related protein 9 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Human ORP9 is proposed to function in regulation of Akt phosphorylation. ORP9 has 2 forms, a long (ORP9L) and a short (ORP9S). ORP9L contains an N-terminal PH domain, a FFAT motif (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract), and a C-terminal OSBP-related domain. ORP1S is truncated and contains a FFAT motif and an OSBP-related domain. Oxysterol binding proteins are a multigene family that is conserved in yeast, flies, worms, mammals and plants. In general OSBPs and ORPs have been found to be involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol and related lipids in eukaryotes. They all contain a C-terminal oxysterol binding domain, and most contain an N-terminal PH domain. OSBP PH domains bind to membrane phosphoinositides and thus likely play an important role in intracellular targeting. They are members of the oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) family which includes OSBP, OSBP-related proteins (ORP), Goodpasture antigen binding protein (GPBP), and Four phosphate adaptor protein 1 (FAPP1). They have a wide range of purported functions including sterol transport, cell cycle control, pollen development and vessicle transport from Golgi recognize both PI lipids and ARF proteins. 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.

Human Oxysterol binding protein and OSBP-related protein 4 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Human OSBP is proposed to function is sterol-dependent regulation of ERK dephosphorylation and sphingomyelin synthesis as well as modulation of insulin signaling and hepatic lipogenesis. It contains a N-terminal PH domain, a FFAT motif (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract), and a C-terminal OSBP-related domain. OSBPs and Osh1p PH domains specifically localize to the Golgi apparatus in a PtdIns4P-dependent manner. ORP4 is proposed to function in Vimentin-dependent sterol transport and/or signaling. Human ORP4 has 2 forms, a long (ORP4L) and a short (ORP4S). ORP4L contains a N-terminal PH domain, a FFAT motif (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract), and a C-terminal OSBP-related domain.

Four phosphate adaptor protein 1 and 2 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Human FAPP1 (also called PLEKHA3/Pleckstrin homology domain-containing, family A member 3) regulates secretory transport from the trans-Golgi network to the plasma membrane. It is recruited through binding of PH domain to phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P) and a small GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1). These two binding sites have little overlap the FAPP1 PH domain to associate with both ligands simultaneously and independently. FAPP1 has a N-terminal PH domain followed by a short proline-rich region. FAPP1 is a member of the oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) family which includes OSBP, OSBP-related proteins (ORP), and Goodpasture antigen binding protein (GPBP). They have a wide range of purported functions including sterol transport, cell cycle control, pollen development and vessicle transport from Golgi recognize both PI lipids and ARF proteins. FAPP2 (also called PLEKHA8/Pleckstrin homology domain-containing, family A member 8), a member of the Glycolipid lipid transfer protein(GLTP) family has an N-terminal PH domain that targets the TGN and C-terminal GLTP domain. FAPP2 functions to traffic glucosylceramide (GlcCer) which is made in the Golgi. It's interaction with vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein (VAP) could be a means of regulation. Some FAPP2s share the FFAT-like motifs found in GLTP. 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.

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.

TBC1 domain family member 2A pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; TBC1D2A (also called PARIS-1/Prostate antigen recognized and identified by SEREX 1 and ARMUS) contains a PH domain and a TBC-type GTPase catalytic domain. TBC1D2A integrates signaling between Arf6, Rac1, and Rab7 during junction disassembly. Activated Rac1 recruits TBC1D2A to locally inactivate Rab7 via its C-terminal TBC/RabGAP domain and facilitate E-cadherin degradation in lysosomes. The TBC1D2A PH domain mediates localization at cell-cell contacts and coprecipitates with cadherin complexes. 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.

Cryptosporidium-like Oxysterol binding protein related protein 2 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; There are 2 types of ORPs found in Cryptosporidium: CpORP1 and CpORP2. Cryptosporium differs from other apicomplexans like Plasmodium, Toxoplasma, and Eimeria which possess only a single long-type ORP consisting of an N-terminal PH domain followed by a C-terminal ligand binding (LB) domain. CpORP2 is like this, but CpORP1 differs and has a truncated N-terminus resulting in only having a LB domain present. The exact functions of these proteins are largely unknown though CpORP1 is thought to be involved in lipid transport across the parasitophorous vacuole membrane. Oxysterol binding proteins are a multigene family that is conserved in yeast, flies, worms, mammals and plants. In general OSBPs and ORPs have been found to be involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol and related lipids in eukaryotes. They all contain a C-terminal oxysterol binding domain, and most contain an N-terminal PH domain. OSBP PH domains bind to membrane phosphoinositides and thus likely play an important role in intracellular targeting. They are members of the oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) family which includes OSBP, OSBP-related proteins (ORP), Goodpasture antigen binding protein (GPBP), and Four phosphate adaptor protein 1 (FAPP1). They have a wide range of purported functions including sterol transport, cell cycle control, pollen development and vessicle transport from Golgi recognize both PI lipids and ARF proteins. 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.

Yeast oxysterol binding protein homolog 3 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Yeast Osh3p is proposed to function in sterol transport and regulation of nuclear fusion during mating and of pseudohyphal growth as well as sphingolipid metabolism. Osh3 contains a N-GOLD (Golgi dynamics) domain, a PH domain, a FFAT motif (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract), and a C-terminal OSBP-related domain. GOLD domains are thought to mediate protein-protein interactions, but their role in ORPs are unknown. Oxysterol binding proteins are a multigene family that is conserved in yeast, flies, worms, mammals and plants. In general OSBPs and ORPs have been found to be involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol and related lipids in eukaryotes. They all contain a C-terminal oxysterol binding domain, and most contain an N-terminal PH domain.

They are members of the oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) family which includes OSBP, OSBP-related proteins (ORP), Goodpasture antigen binding protein (GPBP), and Four phosphate adaptor protein 1 (FAPP1). They have a wide range of purported functions including sterol transport, cell cycle control, pollen development and vessicle transport from Golgi recognize both PI lipids and ARF proteins. 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.

ArfGAP with RhoGAP domain, ankyrin repeat and PH domain Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, repeat 1; ARAP proteins (also called centaurin delta) are phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent GTPase-activating proteins that modulate actin cytoskeleton remodeling by regulating ARF and RHO family members. They bind phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P2) binding. There are 3 mammalian ARAP proteins: ARAP1, ARAP2, and ARAP3. All ARAP proteins contain a N-terminal SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain, 5 PH domains, an ArfGAP domain, 2 ankyrin domain, A RhoGap domain, and a Ras-associating domain. This hierarchy contains the first PH domain in ARAP.

FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing/faciogenital dysplasia protein 4 pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, C-terminus, in insect and related arthropods; In general, FGDs have a RhoGEF (DH) domain, followed by an N-terminal PH domain, a FYVE domain and a C-terminal PH domain. All FGDs are guanine nucleotide exchange factors that activates the Rho GTPase Cdc42, an important regulator of membrane trafficking. The RhoGEF domain is responsible for GEF catalytic activity, while the N-terminal PH domain is involved in intracellular targeting of the DH domain. FGD4 is one of the genes associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 4 (CMT4), a group of progressive motor and sensory axonal and demyelinating neuropathies that are distinguished from other forms of CMT by autosomal recessive inheritance. Those affected have distal muscle weakness and atrophy associated with sensory loss and, frequently, pes cavus foot deformity. This cd contains insects, crustaceans, and chelicerates. 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.

Sesquipedalian family Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; The sesquipedalian family has 2 mammalian members: Ses1 and Ses2, which are also callled 7 kDa inositol polyphosphate phosphatase-interacting protein 1 and 2. They play a role in endocytic trafficking and are required for receptor recycling from endosomes, both to the trans-Golgi network and the plasma membrane. Members of this family form homodimers and heterodimers. Sesquipedalian interacts with inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase OCRL-1 (INPP5F) also known as Lowe oculocerebrorenal syndrome protein, a phosphatase enzyme that is involved in actin polymerization and is found in the trans-Golgi network and INPP5B. Sesquipedalian contains a single PH domain. 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.

Bud emergence protein 3 (Bem3) Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Bud emergence in Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves cell cycle-regulated reorganizations of cortical cytoskeletal elements and requires the action of the Rho-type GTPase Cdc42. Bem3 contains a RhoGAP domain and a PH domain. Though Bem3 and Bem2 both contain a RhoGAP, but only Bem3 is able to stimulate the hydrolysis of GTP on Cdc42. Bem3 is thought to be the GAP for Cdc42. 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.

Evectin Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; There are 2 members of the evectin family (also called pleckstrin homology domain containing, family B): evt-1 (also called PLEKHB1) and evt-2 (also called PLEKHB2). evt-1 is specific to the nervous system, where it is expressed in photoreceptors and myelinating glia. evt-2 is widely expressed in both neural and nonneural tissues. Evectins possess a single N-terminal PH domain and a C-terminal hydrophobic region. evt-1 is thought to function as a mediator of post-Golgi trafficking in cells that produce large membrane-rich organelles. It is a candidate gene for the inherited human retinopathy autosomal dominant familial exudative vitreoretinopathy and a susceptibility gene for multiple sclerosis. evt-2 is essential for retrograde endosomal membrane transport from the plasma membrane (PM) to the Golgi. Two membrane trafficking pathways pass through recycling endosomes: a recycling pathway and a retrograde pathway that links the PM to the Golgi/ER. Its PH domain that is unique in that it specifically recognizes phosphatidylserine (PS), but not polyphosphoinositides. PS is an anionic phospholipid class in eukaryotic biomembranes, is highly enriched in the PM, and plays key roles in various physiological processes such as the coagulation cascade, recruitment and activation of signaling molecules, and clearance of apoptotic cells. PH domains are only found in eukaryotes. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. 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.

Rho GTPase activating protein 25 and related proteins Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; RhoGAP25 (also called ArhGap25) like other RhoGaps are involved in cell polarity, cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. They act as GTPase activators for the Rac-type GTPases by converting them to an inactive GDP-bound state and control actin remodeling by inactivating Rac downstream of Rho leading to suppress leading edge protrusion and promotes cell retraction to achieve cellular polarity and are able to suppress RAC1 and CDC42 activity in vitro. Overexpression of these proteins induces cell rounding with partial or complete disruption of actin stress fibers and formation of membrane ruffles, lamellipodia, and filopodia. This hierarchy contains RhoGAP22, RhoGAP24, and RhoGAP25. Members here contain an N-terminal PH domain followed by a RhoGAP domain and either a BAR or TATA Binding Protein (TBP) Associated Factor 4 (TAF4) domain. 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.

Autophagy-related protein 26/Sterol 3-beta-glucosyltransferase Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, repeat 1; ATG26 (also called UGT51/UDP-glycosyltransferase 51), a member of the glycosyltransferase 28 family, resulting in the biosynthesis of sterol glucoside. ATG26 in decane metabolism and autophagy. There are 32 known autophagy-related (ATG) proteins, 17 are components of the core autophagic machinery essential for all autophagy-related pathways and 15 are the additional components required only for certain pathways or species. The core autophagic machinery includes 1) the ATG9 cycling system (ATG1, ATG2, ATG9, ATG13, ATG18, and ATG27), 2) the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex (ATG6/VPS30, ATG14, VPS15, and ATG34), and 3) the ubiquitin-like protein system (ATG3, ATG4, ATG5, ATG7, ATG8, ATG10, ATG12, and ATG16). Less is known about how the core machinery is adapted or modulated with additional components to accommodate the nonselective sequestration of bulk cytosol (autophagosome formation) or selective sequestration of specific cargos (Cvt vesicle, pexophagosome, or bacteria-containing autophagosome formation). The pexophagosome-specific additions include the ATG30-ATG11-ATG17 receptor-adaptors complex, the coiled-coil protein ATG25, and the sterol glucosyltransferase ATG26. ATG26 is necessary for the degradation of medium peroxisomes. It contains 2 GRAM domains and a single PH domain. PH domains are only found in eukaryotes. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. PH domains also have diverse functions. They are often involved in targeting proteins to the plasma membrane, but 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.

Arf-GAP with GTPase, ANK repeat and PH domain-containing protein Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; AGAP (also called centaurin gamma; PIKE/Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase enhancer) reside mainly in the nucleus and are known to activate phosphoinositide 3-kinase, a key regulator of cell proliferation, motility and vesicular trafficking. There are 3 isoforms of AGAP (PIKE-A, PIKE-L, and PIKE-S) the longest of which PIKE-L consists of N-terminal proline rich domains (PRDs), followed by a GTPase domain, a split PH domain (PHN and PHC), an ArfGAP domain and two ankyrin repeats. PIKE-S terminates after the PHN domain and PIKE-A is missing the PRD region. Centaurin binds phosphatidlyinositol (3,4,5)P3. 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.

Human Oxysterol binding protein related proteins 3, 6, and 7 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Human ORP3 is proposed to function in regulating the cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion. A proposed specific function for Human ORP6 was not found at present. Human ORP7is proposed to function in negatively regulating the Golgi soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE) of 28kDa (GS28) protein stability via sequestration of Golgi-associated ATPase enhancer of 16 kDa (GATE-16). ORP3 has 2 isoforms: the longer ORP3(1) and the shorter ORP3(2). ORP3(1), ORP6, and ORP7 all contain a N-terminal PH domain, a FFAT motif (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract), and a C-terminal OSBP-related domain. The shorter ORP3(2) is missing the C-terminal portion of its OSBP-related domain. Oxysterol binding proteins are a multigene family that is conserved in yeast, flies, worms, mammals and plants. In general OSBPs and ORPs have been found to be involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol and related lipids in eukaryotes. They all contain a C-terminal oxysterol binding domain, and most contain an N-terminal PH domain. OSBP PH domains bind to membrane phosphoinositides and thus likely play an important role in intracellular targeting. They are members of the oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) family which includes OSBP, OSBP-related proteins (ORP), Goodpasture antigen binding protein (GPBP), and Four phosphate adaptor protein 1 (FAPP1). They have a wide range of purported functions including sterol transport, cell cycle control, pollen development and vessicle transport from Golgi recognize both PI lipids and ARF proteins. 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.

Niban-like protein; Niban-like proteins contain an N-terminal Pleckstrin-Homology (PH) domain that may be involved in binding to specific ligands. Phosphatidylinositol (3)-phosphate (PI3P) was recognized as the innate ligand of the PH domain of MINERVA (melanoma invasion by ERK, also known as FAM129B) PH. Niban family proteins have been found to regulate phosphorylation of a number of proteins involved in the regularion of translation, such as EIF2A, EIF4EBP1 and RPS6KB1. They may also be involved in the endoplasmic reticulum stress response (FAM129A, Niban-like protein 1), suggested to play a role in apoptosis suppression in cancer cells, while Niban-like protein 2 (FAM129C) is a B-cell membrane protein that is overexpressed in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing/faciogenital dysplasia protein 3, N-terminal Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; In general, FGDs have a RhoGEF (DH) domain, followed by an N-terminal PH domain, a FYVE domain and a C-terminal PH domain. All FGDs are guanine nucleotide exchange factors that activates the Rho GTPase Cdc42, an important regulator of membrane trafficking. The RhoGEF domain is responsible for GEF catalytic activity, while the N-terminal PH domain is involved in intracellular targeting of the DH domain. Both FGD1 and FGD3 are targeted by the ubiquitin ligase SCF(FWD1/beta-TrCP) upon phosphorylation of two serine residues in its DSGIDS motif and subsequently degraded by the proteasome. However, FGD1 and FGD3 induced significantly different morphological changes in HeLa Tet-Off cells and while FGD1 induced long finger-like protrusions, FGD3 induced broad sheet-like protrusions when the level of GTP-bound Cdc42 was significantly increased by the inducible expression of FGD3. They also reciprocally regulated cell motility in inducibly expressed in HeLa Tet-Off cells, FGD1 stimulated cell migration while FGD3 inhibited it. FGD1 and FGD3 therefore play different roles to regulate cellular functions, even though their intracellular levels are tightly controlled by the same destruction pathway through SCF(FWD1/beta-TrCP). 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.

ArfGAP with dual PH domains Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, repeat 2; ADAP (also called centaurin alpha) is a phophatidlyinositide binding protein consisting of an N-terminal ArfGAP domain and two PH domains. In response to growth factor activation, PI3K phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. Centaurin alpha 1 is recruited to the plasma membrane following growth factor stimulation by specific binding of its PH domain to phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. Centaurin alpha 2 is constitutively bound to the plasma membrane since it binds phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate with equal affinity. This cd contains the second PH domain repeat. 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.
