Short Name | FCHSD_SH3_1 |
description | This entry represents the first SH3 domain found in the F-BAR and double SH3 domains proteins, including FCHSD1 and FCHSD2. These proteins have a common domain structure consisting of an N-terminal F-BAR (FES-CIP4 Homology and Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs), two SH3, and C-terminal proline-rich domains []. FCHSD1 and FCHSD2 are expressed in cochlear sensory hair cells. FCHSD2 interacts with WASP and N-WASP, and stimulates F-actin assembly in vitro. FCHSD1 does not bind to WASP, but binds via its F-BAR domain to the SH3 domain of Sorting Nexin 9, a BAR protein that has been shown to promote WASP-Arp2/3-dependent F-actin polymerization []. FCHSD2 has been implicated in receptor endocytosis and transport []. The insect protein nervous wreck, which acts as a regulator of synaptic growth signaling [], also contains this domain. |
