cd00987: PDZ_serine_protease (this model, PSSM-Id:238487 is obsolete)
PDZ domain of trypsin-like serine proteases, such as DegP/HtrA, which are oligomeric proteins involved in heat-shock response, chaperone function, and apoptosis. May be responsible for substrate recognition and/or binding, as most PDZ domains bind C-terminal polypeptides, though binding to internal (non-C-terminal) polypeptides and even to lipids has been demonstrated. In this subfamily of protease-associated PDZ domains a C-terminal beta-strand forms the peptide-binding groove base, a circular permutation with respect to PDZ domains found in Eumetazoan signaling proteins.
Feature 1:protein binding site [polypeptide binding site]
Evidence:
Comment:contains the GLGF loop, a carboxylate-binding motif
Comment:PDZ binds to either the terminal COOH group of a peptide ligand (1KWA) or an internal peptide sequence that mimics the PDZ binding motif (1QAV)
