periplasmic serine protease, Do/DeqQ family; This family consists of a set proteins various designated DegP, heat shock protein HtrA, and protease DO. The ortholog in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is designated MucD and is found in an operon that controls mucoid phenotype. This family also includes the DegQ (HhoA) paralog in E. coli which can rescue a DegP mutant, but not the smaller DegS paralog, which cannot. Members of this family are located in the periplasm and have separable functions as both protease and chaperone. Members have a trypsin domain and two copies of a PDZ domain. This protein protects bacteria from thermal and other stresses and may be important for the survival of bacterial pathogens.// The chaperone function is dominant at low temperatures, whereas the proteolytic activity is turned on at elevated temperatures.

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.

The third LIM domain of actin binding LIM (abLIM) proteins; The third LIM domain of actin binding LIM (abLIM) proteins: Three homologous members of the abLIM protein family have been identified; abLIM-1, abLIM-2 and abLIM-3. The N-terminal of abLIM consists of four tandem repeats of LIM domains and the C-terminal of acting binding LIM protein is a villin headpiece domain, which has strong actin binding activity. The abLIM-1, which is expressed in retina, brain, and muscle tissue, has been indicated to function as a tumor suppressor. AbLIM-2 and -3, mainly expressed in muscle and neuronal tissue, bind to F-actin strongly. They may serve as a scaffold for signaling modules of the actin cytoskeleton and thereby modulate transcription. It has shown that LIM domains of abLIMs interact with STARS (striated muscle activator of Rho signaling), which directly binds actin and stimulates serum-response factor (SRF)-dependent transcription. All LIM domains are 50-60 amino acids in size and share two characteristic highly conserved zinc finger motifs. The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues, mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond to two zinc atoms. LIM domains function as adaptors or scaffolds to support the assembly of multimeric protein complexes.

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 the canonical isoform 1 of PDZ domain containing 7 (PDZD7), and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 1 of the long isoform 1 of PDZD7, and related domains. PDZD7 is critical for the organization of Usher syndrome type 2 (USH2) complex. Usher syndrome is the leading cause of hereditary sensory deaf-blindness in humans; USH2 is the most common sub-type. Formation of the USH2 complex is based upon heterodimerization between PDZD7 and whirlin (another PDZ domain-containing protein) and a subsequent dynamic interplay between USH2 proteins via their multiple PDZ domains. The PDZD7 PDZ2 domain binds GPR98 (also known as VLGR1) and usherin (USH2A). PDZD7 and whirlin form heterodimers through their multiple PDZ domains; whirlin and PDZD7 interact with usherin and GPR98 to form an interdependent ankle link complex. PDZD7 also interacts with myosin VIIa. PDZD7 also forms homodimers through its PDZ2 domain. Various isoforms of PDZD7 produced by alternative splicing have been identified; this subgroup includes the first PDZ domain of the canonical isoform of PDZD7- isoform 1. 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).

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).

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.

The first LIM domain of Enigma-like family; The first LIM domain of Enigma-like family: The Enigma LIM domain family is comprised of three members: Enigma, ENH, and Cypher (mouse)/ZASP (human). These subfamily members contain a single PDZ domain at the N-terminus and three LIM domains at the C-terminus. Enigma was initially characterized in humans and is expressed in multiple tissues, such as skeletal muscle, heart, bone, and brain. The third LIM domain specifically interacts with the insulin receptor and the second LIM domain interacts with the receptor tyrosine kinase Ret and the adaptor protein APS. Thus Enigma is implicated in signal transduction processes, such as mitogenic activity, insulin related actin organization, and glucose metabolism. The second member, ENH protein, was first identified in rat brain. It has been shown that ENH interacts with protein kinase D1 (PKD1) via its LIM domains and forms a complex with PKD1 and the alpha1C subunit of cardiac L-type voltage-gated calcium channel in rat neonatal cardiomyocytes. The N-terminal PDZ domain interacts with alpha-actinin at the Z-line. ZASP/Cypher is required for maintenance of Z-line structure during muscle contraction, but not required for Z-line assembly. In heart, Cypher/ZASP plays a structural role through its interaction with cytoskeletal Z-line proteins. In addition, there is increasing evidence that Cypher/ZASP also performs signaling functions. Studies reveal that Cypher/ZASP interacts with and directs PKC to the Z-line, where PKC phosphorylates downstream signaling targets. LIM domains are 50-60 amino acids in size and share two characteristic zinc finger motifs.

PDZ domain 1 of Discs Large 5 (Dlg5) and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 1 of Drosophila and mammalian Dlg5, and related domains. Dlg5 is a scaffold protein with multiple conserved functions that are independent of each other in regulating growth, cell polarity, and cell adhesion. It has a coiled-coil domain, 4 PDZ domains and a MAGUK domain (an SH3 domain next to a non-catalytically active guanylate kinase domain). Deregulation of Dlg5 has been implicated in the malignancy of several cancer types. 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 Dlg5-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 densin, erbin, and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain of densin, erbin, and related domains. Densin (also known as leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 7, LRRC7, densin-180, protein LAP1) and erbin (also known as densin-180-like protein, Erbb2-interacting protein, protein LAP2) belong to the LAP (leucine-rich repeat and PDZ domain) family of scaffolding proteins that play roles in the maintenance of cell shape and apical-basal polarity. Densin and erbin are components of the excitatory postsynaptic compartment and are regulators of dendritic morphology and postsynaptic structure. The densin PDZ domain binds CaV1.3 alpha1 subunit, delta-catenin, and MAGUIN-1. Binding partners of the erbin PDZ domain include ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase ErbB2, HTLV-1 Tax1, Cav1.3 Ca2+channels, and constituents of the cadherin:catenin cell adhesion complex, in particular delta-catenin, p0071 and ARVCF. The erbin PDZ domain binds Smad3, a transductor of the TGFbeta pathway, possibly by a novel interface of binding. Erbin and two other LAP proteins (scribble and lano) redundantly regulate epithelial polarity and apical adhesion 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.

PDZ domains of the Na+/H+ exchange regulatory cofactor (NHERF) family (NHERF1-4), and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain of the Na+/H+ exchange regulatory cofactor (NHERF) family of multi-PDZ-domain-containing scaffolding proteins (NHERF1-4), and related domains. The NHERF family includes NHERF1 (also known as EBP50), NHERF2 (also known as E3KARP; TKA-1; SIP-1), NHERF3 (also known as CAP70; CLAMP; Napi-Cap-1; PDZD1) and NHERF4 (also known as IKEPP; PDZK2; Napi-Cap-2). NHERF1 and NHERF2 have tandem PDZ domains (PDZ1-2); NHERF3 and NHERF4 have four PDZ domains (PDZ1-4). NHERFs are involved in the regulation of multiple receptors or transporters, such as type II sodium-phosphate cotransporter (Npt2a), purinergic P2Y1 receptor P2Y1R, the beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2-AR), parathyroid hormone receptor type 1 (PTHR), the lysophosphatidic acid receptors (LPARs), sodium-hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3), and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). NHERF-PDZ1 domain interaction partners include Npt2a, purinergic P2Y1 receptor, beta2-AR, CFTR, PTHR, NH3, G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 6 (GRK6A), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), B1 subunit of the H+ATPase, cholesterol, receptor for activated C-kinase RACK1, aquaporin 9, among others. The NHERF PDZ2 domain interacts with fewer proteins: NHERF1 PDZ2 binds Npt2a, PTHR, beta-catenin, aquaporin 9, and RACK1; NHERF2 PDZ2 binds LPA2, P2Y1R, and NHE3, cGMP-dependent protein kinase type II (cGKII). NHERF4 PDZ1 and PDZ4 bind the epithelial Ca(2+) channels TRPV5 and TRPV6. NHERF2/NHERF3 heterodimerization is mediated by PDZ domains of NHERF2 and the C-terminal PDZ domain recognition motif of NHERF3. NHERF4 regulates several transporters mediating influx of xenobiotics and nutrients in the small intestine. 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).

PDZ domain 2 of the canonical isoform 1 of PDZ domain containing 7 (PDZD7), and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 2 of the long isoform 1 of PDZD7, and related domains. PDZD7 is critical for the organization of Usher syndrome type 2 (USH2) complex. Usher syndrome is the leading cause of hereditary sensory deaf-blindness in humans; USH2 is the most common sub-type. Formation of the USH2 complex is based upon heterodimerization between PDZD7 and whirlin (another PDZ domain-containing protein) and a subsequent dynamic interplay between USH2 proteins via their multiple PDZ domains. The PDZD7 PDZ2 domain binds GPR98 (also known as VLGR1) and usherin (USH2A). PDZD7 and whirlin form heterodimers through their multiple PDZ domains; whirlin and PDZD7 interact with usherin and GPR98 to form an interdependent ankle link complex. PDZD7 also interacts with myosin VIIa. PDZD7 also forms homodimers through its PDZ2 domain. Various isoforms of PDZD7 produced by alternative splicing have been identified; this subgroup includes the second PDZ domain of the canonical isoform of PDZD7- isoform 1. 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.

The second Lim domain of pollen specific protein SF3; The second Lim domain of pollen specific protein SF3: SF3 is a Lim protein that is found exclusively in mature plant pollen grains. It contains two LIM domains. The exact function of SF3 is unknown. It may be a transcription factor required for the expression of late pollen genes. It is possible that SF3 protein is involved in controlling pollen-specific processes such as male gamete maturation, pollen tube formation, or even fertilization. As in other LIM domains, this domain family is 50-60 amino acids in size and shares two characteristic zinc finger motifs. The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues, mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond to two zinc atoms.

The third LIM domain of protein LIMPETin; The third LIM domain of protein LIMPETin: LIMPETin contains 6 LIM domains at the C-terminal and an N-terminal PET domain. Four of the six LIM domains are highly homologous to the four and half LIM domain protein family and two of them show sequence similarity to the LIM domains of the testin family. Thus, LIMPETin may be the recombinant product of genes coding testin and FHL proteins. In Schistosoma mansoni, where LIMPETin was first identified, LIMPETin is down regulated in sexually mature adult Schistosoma females compared to sexually immature adult females and adult male. Its differential expression indicates that it is a transcription regulator. LIM domains are 50-60 amino acids in size and share two characteristic zinc finger motifs. The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues, mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond to two zinc atoms. LIM domains function as adaptors or scaffolds to support the assembly of multimeric protein complexes.

The second LIM domain of Ajuba-like proteins; The second LIM domain of Ajuba-like proteins: Ajuba like LIM protein family includes three highly homologous proteins Ajuba, Limd1, and WTIP. Members of the family contain three tandem C-terminal LIM domains and a proline-rich N-terminal region. This family of proteins functions as scaffolds, participating in the assembly of numerous protein complexes. In the cytoplasm, Ajuba binds Grb2 to modulate serum-stimulated ERK activation. Ajuba also recruits the TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) to p62 and activates PKCKappa activity. Ajuba interacts with alpha-catenin and F-actin to contribute to the formation or stabilization of adheren junctions by linking adhesive receptors to the actin cytoskeleton. Although Ajuba is a cytoplasmic protein, it can shuttle into the nucleus. In nucleus, Ajuba functions as a corepressor for the zinc finger-protein Snail. It binds to the SNAG repression domain of Snail through its LIM region. Arginine methyltransferase-5 (Prmt5), a protein in the complex, is recruited to Snai l through an interaction with Ajuba. This ternary complex functions to repress E-cadherin, a Snail target gene. In addition, Ajuba contains functional nuclear-receptor interacting motifs and selectively interacts with retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and rexinoid receptor (RXRs) to negatively regulate retinoic acid signaling. Wtip, the Wt1-interacting protein, was originally identified as an interaction partner of the Wilms tumour protein 1 (WT1). Wtip is involved in kidney and neural crest development. Wtip interacts with the receptor tyrosine kinase Ror2 and inhibits canonical Wnt signaling. LIMD1 was reported to inhibit cell growth and metastases. The inhibition may be mediated through an interaction with the protein barrier-to-autointegration (BAF), a component of SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling protein; or through the interaction with retinoblastoma protein (pRB), resulting in inhibition of E2F-mediated transcription, and expression of the majority of genes with E2F1- responsive elements. Recently, Limd1 was shown to interact with the p62/sequestosome protein and influence IL-1 and RANKL signaling by facilitating the assembly of a p62/TRAF6/a-PKC multi-protein complex. The Limd1-p62 interaction affects both NF-kappaB and AP-1 activity in epithelial cells and osteoclasts. Moreover, LIMD1 functions as tumor repressor to block lung tumor cell line in vitro and in vivo. Recent studies revealed that LIM proteins Wtip, LIMD1 and Ajuba interact with components of RNA induced silencing complexes (RISC) as well as eIF4E and the mRNA m7GTP cap-protein complex and are required for microRNA-mediated gene silencing. As in other LIM domains, this domain family is 50-60 amino acids in size and shares two characteristic zinc finger motifs. The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues, mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond to two zinc atoms. LIM domains function as adaptors or scaffolds to support the assembly of multimeric protein.

PDZ domain 1 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 1 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.

PTPN13, also known as Fas-associated protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1 (FAP-1), protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1E (PTP-E1), and protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTPL1), negatively regulates FAS-mediated apoptosis and NGFR-mediated pro-apoptotic signaling, and may also regulate phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling. It contains 5 PDZ domains; interaction partners of its second PDZ domain (PDZ2) include the Fas receptor (TNFRSF6) and thyroid receptor-interacting protein 6 (TRIP6).

The first LIM domain of actin binding LIM (abLIM) proteins; The first LIM domain of actin binding LIM (abLIM) proteins: Three homologous members of the abLIM protein family have been identified; abLIM-1, abLIM-2 and abLIM-3. The N-terminal of abLIM consists of four tandem repeats of LIM domains and the C-terminal of acting binding LIM protein is a villin headpiece domain, which has strong actin binding activity. The abLIM-1, which is expressed in retina, brain, and muscle tissue, has been indicated to function as a tumor suppressor. AbLIM-2 and -3, mainly expressed in muscle and neuronal tissue, bind to F-actin strongly. They may serve as a scaffold for signaling modules of the actin cytoskeleton and thereby modulate transcription. It has shown that LIM domains of abLIMs interact with STARS (striated muscle activator of Rho signaling), which directly binds actin and stimulates serum-response factor (SRF)-dependent transcription. All LIM domains are 50-60 amino acids in size and share two characteristic highly conserved zinc finger motifs. The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues, mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond to two zinc atoms. LIM domains function as adaptors or scaffolds to support the assembly of multimeric protein complexes.

circularly permuted PDZ domain of C-terminal processing peptidase (CPP), a serine protease, and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain of CPP (also known as tail-specific protease, PRC protein, Protease Re, and Photosystem II D1 protein processing peptidase), and related domains. CPP belongs to the peptidase S41A family. It cleaves a C-terminal 11 residue peptide from the precursor form of penicillin-binding protein 3, and may have a role in protecting bacterium from thermal and osmotic stresses. In the plant chloroplast, the enzyme removes the C-terminal extension of the D1 polypeptide of photosystem II. 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 CPP-like PDZ domain 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.

circularly permuted first PDZ domain (PDZ1) 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 1 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 identifying the distinct substrate sequences that affect degradation (degron) of the substrate sequence, and its PDZ2 domain is responsible for 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 1 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.

permuted PDZ domain of Deg/high-temperature requirement factor A (HtrA) family of housekeeping serine proteases and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain of Deg/HtrA-type serine proteases that participate in folding and degradation of aberrant proteins, and in processing and maturation of native proteins. Typically, these proteases have an N-terminal serine protease domain and at least one C-terminal PDZ domain that recognizes substrates, and in some cases activates the protease function. An exception is yeast Nma11p which has two protease domains and four PDZ domains; its N-terminal half is comprised of a protease domain, followed by two PDZ domains, and its C-terminal half has a similar domain arrangement. HtrA-type proteases include the human HtrA1-4 and MBTPS2, tricorn protease, DegS, DegP and C-terminal processing peptidase, cyanobacterial serine proteases Hhoa, HhoB, and HtrA, and yeast Nma11p. PDZ domains usually bind in a sequence-specific manner to short peptide sequences located at the C-termini 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 Deg/HtrA family PDZ domain is a circularly permuted PDZ domain which places beta-strand A at the C-terminus. Another permutation exists in the PDZ superfamily which places both beta-strands A and B on the C-terminus.

The second LIM domain of Lmx1a and Lmx1b; The second LIM domain of Lmx1a and Lmx1b: Lmx1a and Lmx1b belong to the LHX protein family, which features two tandem N-terminal LIM domains and a C-terminal DNA binding homeodomain. Members of LHX family are found in the nucleus and act as transcription factors or cofactors. LHX proteins are critical for the development of specialized cells in multiple tissue types, including the nervous system, skeletal muscle, the heart, the kidneys, and endocrine organs such as the pituitary gland and the pancreas. Mouse Lmx1a is expressed in multiple tissues, including the roof plate of the neural tube, the developing brain, the otic vesicles, the notochord, and the pancreas. In mouse, mutations in Lmx1a result in failure of the roof plate to develop. Lmx1a may act upstream of other roof plate markers such as MafB, Gdf7, Bmp6, and Bmp7. Further characterization of these mice reveals numerous defects including disorganized cerebellum, hippocampus, and cortex; altered pigmentation; female sterility, skeletal defects, and behavioral abnormalities. In the mouse, Lmx1b functions in the developing limbs and eyes, the kidneys, the brain, and in cranial mesenchyme. The disruption of Lmx1b gene results kidney and limb defects. In the brain, Lmx1b is important for generation of mesencephalic dopamine neurons and the differentiation of serotonergic neurons. In the mouse eye, Lmx1b regulates anterior segment (cornea, iris, ciliary body, trabecular meshwork, and lens) development. As in other LIM domains, this domain family is 50-60 amino acids in size and shares two characteristic zinc finger motifs. The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues, mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond to two zinc atoms. LIM domains function as adaptors or scaffolds to support the assembly of multimeric protein.

PDZ domain 1 of syntenin-1, syntenin-2, and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 1 of syntenin-1, syntenin-2, and related domains. Syntenins are implicated in various cellular processes such as trafficking, signaling, and cancer metastasis. They bind to signaling and adhesion molecules, such as syndecans, neurexins, ephrin B, and phospholipid PIP2. Through its tandem PDZ domains (PDZ1 and PDZ2), syntenin links syndecans to other cell surface receptors and kinases, such as E-cadherin and ephrin-B, establishing signaling crosstalk. During syndecan binding, syntenin PDZ2 serves as a high-affinity domain, and PDZ1, also necessary for binding, acts as a complementary, low-affinity domain; this is also the case for syntenin binding to proto-oncogene c-Src. The syntenin PDZ domain-PIP2 interaction controls Arf6-mediated syndecan recycling through endosomal compartments; both PDZ1 and PDZ2 interact with PIP2. Different binding partners and downstream regulators of syntenin1 PDZ domains, such as to proto-oncogene c-Src, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and focal adhesion kinase (FAK), have been identified that promote the progression and invasion of a variety of cancers, such as melanoma, glioblastoma multiforme and breast cancer. 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 syntenin-like family domain is a canonical PDZ domain containing six beta-strands A-F and two alpha-helices (alpha-helix 1 and 2), arranged as beta-strands A, B, C, alpha-helix 1, beta-strands D, E, alpha-helix 2 and beta- strand F.
