PDZ domain proteins: Scaffolds for signaling complexes
InaD, a Drosophila photoreceptor scaffolding protein, assembles multiple signal-transducing proteins at the membrane via its five PDZ domains, enhancing speed and efficiency of vision. Extensive conservation of PDZ domains suggests that these motifs have a general role in organizing diverse signaling complexes.

a member of the group, said they used 58 embryos to generate three stem-cell populations, but two were lost at an early stage. But he said this was fewer embryos than was used by other groups and attributed the success to the use of donated embryos that had been screened for genetic disorders, rather than discarded embryos from in vitro fertilisation procedures which may not be of sufficient qu...
متن کاملPDZ domain proteins: plug and play!
Protein-protein interactions are key elements in building functional protein complexes. Among the plethora of domains identified during the last 10 years, PDZ domains are one of the most commonly found protein-protein interaction domains in organisms from bacteria to humans. Although they may be the sole protein interaction domain within a cytoplasmic protein, they are most often found in combi...

ion channels and receptors. Like rapsyn and gephyrin, MAGUKs may directly cluster interacting receptors at synapses. However, there is evidence that MAGUKs play and Program in Neuroscience additional roles in synaptic organization by linking inter-University of California at San Francisco acting receptors to downstream signal-transducing en-San Francisco, California 94143 zymes and regulating t...
متن کاملIn vitro analysis of PDZ-dependent CFTR macromolecular signaling complexes.
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a chloride channel located primarily at the apical membranes of epithelial cells, plays a crucial role in transepithelial fluid homeostasis(1-3). CFTR has been implicated in two major diseases: cystic fibrosis (CF)(4) and secretory diarrhea(5). In CF, the synthesis or functional activity of the CFTR Cl- channel is reduced. This disorde...
