Beta-spectrin pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; ARHGAP family genes encode Rho/Rac/Cdc42-like GTPase activating proteins with RhoGAP domain. The ARHGAP members here all have a PH domain upstream of their C-terminal RhoGAP domain. Some have additional N-terminal SH3 and WW domains. The members here include: ARHGAP9, ARHGAP12, ARHGAP15, and ARHGAP27. ARHGAP27 and ARHGAP12 shared the common-domain structure, consisting of SH3, WW, PH, and RhoGAP domains. The PH domain of ArhGAP9 employs a non-canonical phosphoinositide binding mechanism, a variation of the spectrin- Ins(4,5)P2-binding mode, that gives rise to a unique PI binding profile, namely a preference for both PI(4,5)P2 and the PI 3-kinase products PI(3,4,5)P3 and PI(3,4)P2. This lipid binding mechanism is also employed by the PH domain of Tiam1 and Slm1. 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.

ARHGAP21 and related proteins pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; ARHGAP family genes encode Rho/Rac/Cdc42-like GTPase activating proteins with a RhoGAP domain. These proteins functions as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for RHOA and CDC42. ARHGAP21 controls the Arp2/3 complex and F-actin dynamics at the Golgi complex by regulating the activity of the small GTPase Cdc42. It is recruited to the Golgi by to GTPase, ARF1, through its PH domain and its helical motif. It is also required for CTNNA1 recruitment to adherens junctions. ARHGAP21 and it related proteins all contains a PH domain and a RhoGAP domain. Some of the members have additional N-terminal domains including PDZ, SH3, and SPEC. The ARHGAP21 PH domain interacts with the GTPbound forms of both ARF1 and ARF6 ARF-binding domain/ArfBD. The members here include: ARHGAP15, ARHGAP21, and ARHGAP23. 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.

Beta-spectrin pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Beta spectrin binds actin and functions as a major component of the cytoskeleton underlying cellular membranes. Beta spectrin consists of multiple spectrin repeats followed by a PH domain, which binds to inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate. The PH domain of beta-spectrin is thought to play a role in the association of spectrin with the plasma membrane of cells. 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.

RhoGAP_Bcr: RhoGAP (GTPase-activator protein [GAP] for Rho-like small GTPases) domain of Bcr (breakpoint cluster region protein)-like proteins. Bcr is a multidomain protein with a variety of enzymatic functions. It contains a RhoGAP and a Rho GEF domain, a Ser/Thr kinase domain, an N-terminal oligomerization domain, and a C-terminal PDZ binding domain, in addition to PH and C2 domains. Bcr is a negative regulator of: i) RacGTPase, via the Rho GAP domain, ii) the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK pathway, via phosphorylation of the Ras binding protein AF-6, and iii) the Wnt signaling pathway through binding beta-catenin. Bcr can form a complex with beta-catenin and Tcf1. The Wnt signaling pathway is involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and cell renewal. Bcr was discovered as a fusion partner of Abl. The Bcr-Abl fusion is characteristic for a large majority of chronic myelogenous leukemias (CML). Small GTPases cluster into distinct families, and all act as molecular switches, active in their GTP-bound form but inactive when GDP-bound. The Rho family of GTPases activates effectors involved in a wide variety of developmental processes, including regulation of cytoskeleton formation, cell proliferation and the JNK signaling pathway. GTPases generally have a low intrinsic GTPase hydrolytic activity but there are family-specific groups of GAPs that enhance the rate of GTP hydrolysis by several orders of magnitude.

Pleckstrin 2 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, repeat 1; Pleckstrin is a protein found in platelets. This name is derived from platelet and leukocyte C kinase substrate and the KSTR string of amino acids. Pleckstrin 2 contains two PH domains and a DEP (dishvelled, egl-10, and pleckstrin) domain. Unlike pleckstrin 1, pleckstrin 2 does not contain obvious sites of PKC phosphorylation. Pleckstrin 2 plays a role in actin rearrangement, large lamellipodia and peripheral ruffle formation, and may help orchestrate cytoskeletal arrangement. The PH domains of pleckstrin 2 are thought to contribute to lamellipodia formation. This cd contains the first 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.

Chimaerins exist in two alternative splice forms that each contain a C-terminal GAP domain, and a central C1 domain which binds phorbol esters, inducing a conformational change that activates the protein; one splice form is lacking the N-terminal Src homology-2 (SH2) domain. Small GTPases cluster into distinct families, and all act as molecular switches, active in their GTP-bound form but inactive when GDP-bound. The Rho family of GTPases activates effectors involved in a wide variety of developmental processes, including regulation of cytoskeleton formation, cell proliferation and the JNK signaling pathway. GTPases generally have a low intrinsic GTPase hydrolytic activity but there are family-specific groups of GAPs that enhance the rate of GTP hydrolysis by several orders of magnitude.

RhoGAP_PARG1: RhoGAP (GTPase-activator protein [GAP] for Rho-like small GTPases) domain of PARG1 (PTPL1-associated RhoGAP1). PARG1 was originally cloned as an interaction partner of PTPL1, an intracellular protein-tyrosine phosphatase. PARG1 interacts with Rap2, also a member of the Ras small GTPase superfamily whose exact function is unknown, and shows strong preference for Rho. Small GTPases cluster into distinct families, and all act as molecular switches, active in their GTP-bound form but inactive when GDP-bound.

ArfGAP with coiled-coil, ankyrin repeat and PH domains Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; ACAP (also called centaurin beta) functions both as a Rab35 effector and as an Arf6-GTPase-activating protein (GAP) by which it controls actin remodeling and membrane trafficking. ACAP contain an NH2-terminal bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain, a phospholipid-binding domain, a PH domain, a GAP domain, and four ankyrin repeats. The AZAPs constitute a family of Arf GAPs that are characterized by an NH2-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and a central Arf GAP domain followed by two or more ankyrin repeats. On the basis of sequence and domain organization, the AZAP family is further subdivided into four subfamilies: 1) the ACAPs contain an NH2-terminal bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain (a phospholipid-binding domain that is thought to sense membrane curvature), a single PH domain followed by the GAP domain, and four ankyrin repeats; 2) the ASAPs also contain an NH2-terminal BAR domain, the tandem PH domain/GAP domain, three ankyrin repeats, two proline-rich regions, and a COOH-terminal Src homology 3 domain; 3) the AGAPs contain an NH2-terminal GTPase-like domain (GLD), a split PH domain, and the GAP domain followed by four ankyrin repeats; and 4) the ARAPs contain both an Arf GAP domain and a Rho GAP domain, as well as an NH2-terminal sterile-a motif (SAM), a proline-rich region, a GTPase-binding domain, and five PH domains. PMID 18003747 and 19055940 Centaurin can bind to 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.

RhoGAP_ARHGAP22_24_25: GTPase-activator protein (GAP) domain for Rho-like GTPases found in ARHGAP22, 24 and 25-like proteins; longer isoforms of these proteins contain an additional N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. ARHGAP25 (KIA0053) has been identified as a GAP for Rac1 and Cdc42. Short isoforms (without the PH domain) of ARHGAP24, called RC-GAP72 and p73RhoGAP, and of ARHGAP22, called p68RacGAP, has been shown to be involved in angiogenesis and endothelial cell capillary formation. Small GTPases cluster into distinct families, and all act as molecular switches, active in their GTP-bound form but inactive when GDP-bound. The Rho family of GTPases activates effectors involved in a wide variety of developmental processes, including regulation of cytoskeleton formation, cell proliferation and the JNK signaling pathway.

RAS p21 protein activator (GTPase activating protein) family pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; RASAL1, GAP1(m), GAP1(IP4BP), and CAPRI are all members of the GAP1 family of GTPase-activating proteins. They contain N-terminal SH2-SH3-SH2 domains, followed by two C2 domains, a PH domain, a RasGAP domain, and a BTK domain. With the notable exception of GAP1(m), they all possess an arginine finger-dependent GAP activity on the Ras-related protein Rap1. They act as a suppressor of RAS enhancing the weak intrinsic GTPase activity of RAS proteins resulting in the inactive GDP-bound form of RAS, allowing control of cellular proliferation and differentiation. PH domains share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized.
