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.
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 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 کاملThe Usher syndrome proteins cadherin 23 and harmonin form a complex by means of PDZ-domain interactions.
Usher syndrome type 1 (USH1) patients suffer from sensorineuronal deafness, vestibular dysfunction, and visual impairment. Several genetic loci have been linked to USH1, and four of the relevant genes have been identified. They encode the unconventional myosin VIIa, the PDZ-domain protein harmonin, and the putative adhesion receptors cadherin 23 (CDH23) and protocadherin 15 (PCDH15). We show he...
