PDZ-Containing Proteins Provide a Functional Postsynaptic Scaffold for Nicotinic Receptors in Neurons
Protein scaffolds are essential for specific and efficient downstream signaling at synapses. Though nicotinic receptors are widely expressed in the nervous system and influence numerous cellular events due in part to their calcium permeability, no scaffolds have yet been identified for the receptors in neurons. Here we show that specific members of the PSD-95 family of PDZ-containing proteins a...
متن کاملCholesterol Modulates Cell Signaling and Protein Networking by Specifically Interacting with PDZ Domain-Containing Scaffold Proteins
Cholesterol is known to modulate the physical properties of cell membranes, but its direct involvement in cellular signaling has not been thoroughly investigated. Here we show that cholesterol specifically binds many PDZ domains found in scaffold proteins, including the N-terminal PDZ domain of NHERF1/EBP50. This modular domain has a cholesterol-binding site topologically distinct from its cano...
متن کاملReconstitution of multivalent PDZ domain binding to the scaffold protein PSD-95 reveals ternary-complex specificity of combinatorial inhibition.
Multidomain scaffold proteins serve as hubs in the signal transduction network. By physically colocalizing sequential steps in a transduction pathway, scaffolds catalyze and direct incoming signals. Much is known about binary interactions with individual domains, but it is unknown whether "scaffolding activity" is predictable from pairwise affinities. Here, we characterized multivalent binding ...
متن کاملViral Interactions with PDZ Domain-Containing Proteins—An Oncogenic Trait?
Many of the human viruses with oncogenic capabilities, either in their natural host or in experimental systems (hepatitis B and C, human T cell leukaemia virus type 1, Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus, human immunodeficiency virus, high-risk human papillomaviruses and adenovirus type 9), encode in their limited genome the ability to target cellular proteins containing PSD95/ DLG/ZO-1 (PDZ) interactio...
متن کاملRole of PDZ domain-containing proteins and ERM proteins in regulation of renal function and dysfunction.
Hormonal, dietary, and metabolic factors play an important role in regulation of renal proximal tubular apical membrane sodium-hydrogen (Na/H) exchange and sodium-phosphate (Na/Pi) cotransport and basolateral membrane sodium-potassium-ATPase (Na-K-ATPase) activity by diverse cellular mechanisms including transcriptional, translational, and posttranslational mechanisms. Recent work in this area ...
