PDZ domain proteins: Scaffolds for signaling complexes
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

PKA: assembly of dynamic macromolecular signaling
Although we have learned a great deal about the protein kinase superfamily from our structure/function studies of the free PKA catalytic (C) subunit and the free cAMP-bound regulatory (R) subunits, we did not understand how the C-subunit was inhibited in the holoenzyme complexes, nor did we understand at the molecular level how the holoenzymes were activated by cAMP. There are four functionally...
متن کاملProteomic analysis of beta1-adrenergic receptor interactions with PDZ scaffold proteins.
Many G protein-coupled receptors possess carboxyl-terminal motifs ideal for interaction with PDZ scaffold proteins, which can control receptor trafficking and signaling in a cell-specific manner. To gain a panoramic view of beta1-adrenergic receptor (beta AR) interactions with PDZ scaffolds, the beta1AR carboxyl terminus was screened against a newly developed proteomic array of PDZ domains. The...

PDZ domain-containing proteins and their interaction partners are mutated in numerous human diseases and function in complexes regulating epithelial polarity, ion channels, cochlear hair cell development, vesicular sorting, and neuronal synaptic communication. Among several properties of a collection of documented PDZ domain-ligand interactions, we discovered embedded in a large-scale expressio...
متن کاملPDZ Protein Regulation of G Protein-Coupled Receptor Trafficking and Signaling Pathways.
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) contribute to the regulation of every aspect of human physiology and are therapeutic targets for the treatment of numerous diseases. As a consequence, understanding the myriad of mechanisms controlling GPCR signaling and trafficking is essential for the development of new pharmacological strategies for the treatment of human pathologies. Of the many GPCR-inte...
متن کاملMechanism and role of PDZ domains in signaling complex assembly.
PDZ domains are protein-protein recognition modules that play a central role in organizing diverse cell signaling assemblies. These domains specifically recognize short C-terminal peptide motifs, but can also recognize internal sequences that structurally mimic a terminus. PDZ domains can therefore be used in combination to bind an array of target proteins or to oligomerize into branched networ...
