Protein Domain
Type: Domain
Description: Membrane contacts sites (MCSs), regions where two organelles come in closeproximity to one another, act as molecular hubs for the exchange of smallmolecules (e.g. lipids) and signals (e.g. calcium ions). Synaptotagmin-likeMitochondrial lipid-binding Proteins (SMP) domains are exclusively found atMCSs between different organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Mitochondrion, ER-Plasma membrane (PM) and Nucleus-Vacuole junctions. The SMPdomain is able to homo- or heterodimerize, harbors lipids in a hydrophobiccavity and mediates lipid transfer between the two adjacent bilayersindependently of membrane fusion and fission reactions. SMP proteins arewidespread amongst eukaryotic species with a particular enrichment in plantsand features suggestive of species-specific functional variations. SMP domain-containing proteins have been classified into four broad groups: C2 domainsynaptotagmin-like, PH domain-containing HT-008, PDZK8 and mitochondrialprotein families [, , , , , ].The SMP domain consists of 6 β-strands and 3 helices arranged to form abarrel whose interior is lined almost exclusively by hydrophobic residues. The resulting elongated barrel-shaped cylindrical structureharbors a lateral opening and a central hydrophobic cavity where phospholipidscan bind. It dimerizes in an anti-parallel fashion to form a cylindertraversed by a deep hydrophobic groove [, , ]. The SMP domain belongs to theTULIP (for TUbular LIPid-binding) protein superfamily of lipid transferproteins [].

Type: Domain
Description: RGS3 is a member of R4 subfamily of RGS family, a diverse group of multifunctional proteins that regulate cellular signalling events downstream of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) []. Signalling is initiated when GPCRs bind to their ligands, triggering the replacement of GDP bound to the G-alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins with GTP. RGSs inhibit signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. This activity defines them as GTPase activating proteins (GAPs).Regulator of G protein signaling 3 (RGS3) contains a membrane-targeting C2 domain, one PDZ domain, and an RGS (Regulator of G-protein Signalling) domain. RGS3 has been identified to inhibit Galpha-q and Galpha-i-mediated signaling by acting as a GTPase-activating protein []. RGS3 exits as several splice isoforms []. A short form, RGS3S, induced apoptosis when overexpressed [], whereas PDZ-RGS3 has been linked to cell migration through interaction with Ephrin receptors []. RGS3 interacts with neuroligin, estrogen receptor-alpha, and 14-3-3 outside of the GPCR pathways [, , ].This entry represents the RGS domain of RGS3.

Description: A large group of bacterial exotoxins are referred to as "A/B toxins", essentially because they are formed from two subunits. The "A"subunitpossesses enzyme activity, and is transferred to the host cell followinga conformational change in the membrane-bound transport "B"subunit [].Clostridial species are one of the major causes of food poisoning/gastro-intestinal illnesses. They are Gram-positive, spore-forming rods that occurnaturally in the soil []. Included in the family are: Clostridium botulinum, which produces one of the most potent toxins in existence; Clostridium tetani, causative agent of tetanus; and Clostridium perfringens, commonly found in wound infections and diarrhoea cases. Among the toxins produced by certain Clostridium spp. are the binary exotoxins. These proteins consist of two independent polypeptides, whichcorrespond to the A/B subunit moieties. The enzyme component (A) enters the cell through endosomes produced by the oligomeric binding/translocationprotein (B), and prevents actin polymerisation through ADP-ribosylation of monomeric G-actin [, , ].Members of the "A"binary toxin family include C. perfringens iota toxin Ia[], C. botulinum C2 toxin CI [], and Clostridium difficile ADP-ribosyltransferase []. Other homologous proteins have been found in Clostridium spiroforme [, ], and related bacteria such as Bacillus species.

Description: The VASt (VAD1 Analog of StAR-related lipid transfer) domain is conserved across eukaryotes and is structurally related to Bet v1-like domains, including START lipid-binding domains. The ~190-amino acid VASt domain is predominantly associated with lipid bindingdomains such as GRAM, C2 and PH domains. The VASt domain is likely to have a function in binding large hydrophobic ligands and may be specific for sterol [, ].The predicted structure of the VASt domain is a two-layer sandwich α/β fold, also called "helix grip fold", containing three α-helices (α1 to3), six β-sheets (β1 to 6) and two loops (ω1 and 2) numbered from N to C terminus [].Some proteins known to contain a VASt domain are listed below:Plant vascular associated death1 (VAD1), a regulator of programmed cell death (PCD) harboring a GRAM putative lipid-binding domain.Yeast SNF1 Interacting Protein 3 (SIP3), may be involved in sterol transfer between intracellular membranes.Yeast Suicide Protein 1 (YSP1), a mitochondrial protein specifically required for the mitochondrial thread-grain transition, de-energization, and the cell death. May be involved in sterol transfer between intracellular membranes.Yeast Suicide Protein 2 (YSP2), a mitochondrial membrane protein involved in mitochondrial fragmentation. May be involved in sterol transfer between intracellular membranes.Human GramD1a-c.
Protein Domain
Type: Family
Description: Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), also known as 1-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate phosphodiesterase, plays a role in the inositol phospholipid signaling by hydrolysing phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate to produce the second messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). These cause the increase of intracellular calcium concentration and the activation of protein kinase C (PKC), respectively.The PLC family in murine or human species is comprised of multiple subtypes. On the basis of their structure, they have been divided into five classes, beta (beta-1, 2, 3 and 4), gamma (gamma-1 and 2), delta (delta-1, 3 and 4), epsilon, zeta, and eta types [, ].PLC-delta-3 is essential for trophoblast and placental development []. It locates at the cleavage furrow where it may participate in cytokinesis []. PI-PLC-delta3 contains a core set of domains, including an N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, four atypical EF-hand motifs, a PLC catalytic core, and a single C-terminal C2 domain. The PLC catalytic core domain is a TIM barrel with two highly conserved regions (X and Y) split by a highly degenerate linker sequence. In addition, PI-PLC-delta3 possesses a classical leucine-rich nuclear export sequence (NES) located in the EF hand motifs, which may be responsible transporting PI-PLC-delta3 from the cell nucleus [].

Description: Doc2a (double C2-like domain-containing protein alpha) and Doc2b (double C2-like domain-containing protein beta) are members of the double C2 domain protein family. Doc2a is expressed in neuronal cells and has been implicated in Ca2+-dependent neurotransmitter release [, ]. Doc2a exhibits Ca2+-dependent phospholipid-binding activity through its C2A domain, which is thought to be important for the regulation of Ca2+-dependent exocytosis. The C2B domain is required for binding of syntaxin-1a/synaptosome-associated protein of 25kDa (SNAP-25) heterodimer []. Doc2a is also expressed in pancreatic islets, and has been implicated together with Doc2b in the synergistic regulation of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion [].Doc2b contains two calcium and phospholipid binding domains in its C terminus []. It interacts with the SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attached protein receptor) complex composed of SNAP25, STX1A and VAMP2. Doc2b regulates SNARE-dependent fusion of vesicles with membranes in a calcium-dependent manner. It is involved in calcium-dependent spontaneous release of neurotransmitter, with a function analogous to synaptotagmin-1, but with a higher Ca2+ sensitivity []. Doc2b is a positive SNARE regulator for glucose transporter GLUT4 vesicle fusion and mediates insulin-stimulated glucose transport in adipocytes []. It is involved in both insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in adipocytes and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic cells, as well as insulin responsiveness in skeletal muscle [, ].

Type: Family
Description: In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mid1 is a yeast plasma membrane protein required for Ca2+ influx induced by the mating pheromone alpha-factor during the mating process [, , ]. The protein is composed of 548-amino-acid residues, contains four hydrophobic regions (H1, H2, H3 and H4) and two cysteine-rich regions (C1 and C2) at the C terminus. H1 appears to be a signal sequence necessary for the alpha-factor-induced delivery to the plasma membrane. The region from H1 to H3 is required for the localisation of Mid1 in the plasma and ER membranes. C1 and C2 are thought to be involved in oligomerisation via the formation of disulphide bonds. Trafficking of Mid1-GFP to the plasma membrane is dependent on the N-glycosylation of Mid1 and the transporter protein Sec12. This suggests that the trafficking of Mid1-GFP to the plasma membrane requires a Sec12-dependent pathway from the ER to the Golgi, and that Mid1 is recruited via a Sec6- and Sec7-independent pathway from the Golgi to the plasma membrane.This entry also includes Ehs1 from Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Ehs1 is required for Ca2+ influx and for vitality of cells in a late, pheromone-induced event of the mating process requiring calcium-induced signaling [].

Description: This entry represents the catalytic domain of PI3Kbeta (also known as p110beta), which is a Class IA phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) that phosphorylates PtdIns (Phosphatidylinositol), PtdIns4P (Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate) and PtdIns(4,5)P2 (Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate) to generate phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3). It has been shown to regulate chromosome segregation in mitosis [].PI3Ks can be divided into three main classes (I, II, and III), defined by their substrate specificity, regulation, and domain structure. Class I PI3Ks are the only enzymes capable of converting PtdIns(4,5)P2 to the critical second messenger PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. Class I enzymes are heterodimers and exist in multiple isoforms consisting of one catalytic subunit (p110alpha, beta, gamma or delta) and one of several regulatory subunits (p85alpha, beta or gamma). They are further classified into class IA (alpha, beta and delta) and IB (gamma). Class IA enzymes contain an N-terminal p85 binding domain, a Ras binding domain, a lipid binding C2 domain, a PI3K homology domain of unknown function, and a C-terminal ATP-binding cataytic domain. They associate with a regulatory subunit of the p85 family and are activated by tyrosine kinase receptors [].

Description: This entry represents the catalytic domain of PI3Kdelta (also known as p110delta), which is a Class IA phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) that that phosphorylates PftdIns(4,5)P2 (Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate) to generate phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3). PI3Kdelta is mainly expressed in immune cells and plays an important role in cellular and humoral immunity. It plays a major role in antigen receptor signaling in B-cells, T-cells, and mast cells. It regulates the differentiation of peripheral helper T-cells and controls the development and function of regulatory T-cells [].PI3Ks can be divided into three main classes (I, II, and III), defined by their substrate specificity, regulation, and domain structure. Class I PI3Ks are the only enzymes capable of converting PtdIns(4,5)P2 to the critical second messenger PtdIns(3,4,5)P3.

Description: This entry represents the catalytic domain of PI3Kalpha (also known as p110alpha), which is a Class IA phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) that that phosphorylates PtdIns (Phosphatidylinositol), PtdIns4P (Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate) and PtdIns(4,5)P2 (Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate) to generate phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3). PI3Kalpha plays an important role in insulin signaling []. It also mediates cardiac growth induced by exercise training []. Mutations in the PI3Kalpha gene have been linked to various cancers []. PI3Ks can be divided into three main classes (I, II, and III), defined by their substrate specificity, regulation, and domain structure. Class I PI3Ks are the only enzymes capable of converting PtdIns(4,5)P2 to the critical second messenger PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. Class I enzymes are heterodimers and exist in multiple isoforms consisting of one catalytic subunit (p110alpha, beta, gamma or delta) and one of several regulatory subunits (p85alpha, beta or gamma). They are further classified into class IA (alpha, beta and delta) and IB (gamma). Class IA enzymes contain an N-terminal p85 binding domain, a Ras binding domain, a lipid binding C2 domain, a PI3K homology domain of unknown function, and a C-terminal ATP-binding cataytic domain. They associate with a regulatory subunit of the p85 family and are activated by tyrosine kinase receptors [].

Description: Protein kinases C (PKCs) constitute a family of Ser/Thr kinases. PKCs are classified into three groups (classical, atypical, and novel) depending on their mode of activation and the structural characteristics of their regulatory domain [, ]. Novel PKCs (nPKCs) comprise delta, epsilon, eta, and theta isoforms, which have tandem C1 domains and a C2 domain that does not bind calcium []. nPKCs are calcium-independent, but require DAG (1,2-diacylglycerol) and phosphatidylserine (PS) for activity. PKC-theta is selectively expressed in T-cells and plays an important and non-redundant role in several aspects of T-cell biology []. Although T-cells also express other PKC isoforms, PKC-theta is unique in that upon antigen stimulation, it is translocated to the plasma membrane at the immunological synapse, where it mediates signals essential for T-cell activation []. It is essential for TCR-induced proliferation, cytokine production, T-cell survival, and the differentiation and effector function of T-helper (Th) cells, particularly Th2 and Th17. PKC-theta is being developed as a therapeutic target for Th2-mediated allergic inflammation and Th17-mediated autoimmune diseases [].

Description: In Gram-negative bacteria, growth on methanol is dependent on the soluble, periplasmic quinoprotein methanol dehydrogenase, which oxidises methanol to formaldehyde. The electrons generated by this reaction are transferred from the reduced enzyme to the unusual cytochrome cL, which is subsequently oxidised itself by cytochrome c2 (also known as cytochrome cH), which then transfers the electrons to a membrane-bound cytochrome oxidase [].This entry represents cytochrome cL (also known as cytochrome C551i in some species), whose amino acid sequence is distinct from that of other c-type cytochromes and does not fit into any established amino acid sequence class. Despite its lack of homology to other proteins, many of its properties, eg the low-spin haem prosthetic group, are similar to those of class 1 cytochrome c proteins. Other properties, such as its large size and acidic nature are distinct to cytochrome cL. The core of this protein has a structure typical of class I cytochrome c proteins, consisting of compact alpha helices enclosing the haem c prosthetic group with one edge of the haem exposed []. Unusually, there is a tightly bound calcium close to the haem group which is thought to help stabilise redox potential and may be involved in the transfer of electrons from methanol dehydrogenase to the haem group.

Description: This entry represents the SH2 domain found in tensin-like proteins. The tensins are a family of intracellular proteins that interact with receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), integrins, and actin. They are thought act as signaling bridges between the extracellular space and the cytoskeleton. There are four homologues: tensin1, tensin2 (TENC1, C1-TEN), tensin3 and tensin4 (cten), all of which contain a C-terminal tandem SH2-PTB domain pairing, as well as actin-binding regions that may localize them to focal adhesions. The isoforms of tensin2 and tensin3 contain N-terminal C1 domains, which are atypical and not expected to bind to phorbol esters. Tensins 1-3 contain a phosphatase (PTPase) and C2 domain pairing which resembles PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10) protein [].PTEN is a lipid phosphatase that dephosphorylates phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) to yield phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2). As PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 is the product of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activity, PTEN is therefore a key negative regulator of the PI3K pathway []. Because of their PTEN-like domains, the tensins may also possess phosphoinositide-binding or phosphatase capabilities. However, only tensin2 and tensin3 have the potential to be phosphatases since only their PTPase domains contain a cysteine residue that is essential for catalytic activity. In general SH2 domains are involved in signal transduction. They typically bind pTyr-containing ligands via two surface pockets, a pTyr and hydrophobic binding pocket, allowing proteins with SH2 domains to localize to tyrosine phosphorylated sites [, , ].

Description: The D-galactoside binding lectin purified from sea urchin (Anthocidaris crassispina) eggs exists as a disulphide-linked homodimer of two subunits; the dimeric form is essential for hemagglutination activity []. The sea urchin egg lectin (SUEL) forms a new class of lectins. Although SUEL was first isolated as a D-galactoside binding lectin, it was latter shown that it bind to L-rhamnose preferentially [, ]. L-rhamnose and D-galactose share the same hydroxyl group orientation at C2 and C4 of the pyranose ring structure.A cysteine-rich domain homologous to the SUEL protein has been identified in the following proteins [, , ]:Plant beta-galactosidases () (lactases).Mammalian latrophilin, the calcium independent receptor of alpha-latrotoxin (CIRL). The galactose-binding lectin domain is not required for alpha-latratoxin binding [].Human lectomedin-1.Rhamnose-binding lectin (SAL) from catfish (Silurus asotus, Namazu) eggs. This protein is composed of three tandem repeat domains homologous to the SUEL lectin domain. All cysteine positions of each domain are completely conserved [].The hypothetical B0457.1, F32A7.3A and F32A7.3B proteins from Caenorhabditis elegans.The human KIAA0821 protein.

Description: This entry represents a conserved region within a number of eukaryotic dedicator of cytokinesis proteins (DOCK), which are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) [, , ], that activate some small GTPases by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP such as Rac. DOCK proteins are required during several cellular processes, such as cell motility and phagocytosis []. These proteins have a DOCK-homology region 1 (DHR-1, also known as DOCK-type C2 domain) at the N-terminal and a DHR-2 (also known as DOCKER domain) at the C-terminal. The DOCKER domain () is a GEF catalytic domain organised into three lobes, A, B and C, with the Rho-family binding site and catalytic centre generated entirely from lobes B and C. This entry represents Lobe B, which adopts an unusual architecture of two antiparallel beta sheets disposed in a loosely packed orthogonal arrangement. This lobe changes its position relative to lobe C and the bound GTPase, which suggests that lobe B distinguishes between the switch 1 conformations of the small GTPases Rac1 and Cdc42 [, ].

Novel PKCs (nPKCs) comprise delta, epsilon, eta, and theta isoforms, which have tandem C1 domains and a C2 domain that does not bind calcium []. nPKCs are calcium-independent, but require DAG (1,2-diacylglycerol) and phosphatidylserine (PS) for activity. PKC-epsilon has been shown to behave as an oncoprotein [, ]. Its overexpression contributes to neoplastic transformation depending on the cell type. It contributes to oncogenesis by inducing disordered cell growth and inhibiting cell death. It also plays a role in tumour invasion and metastasis[, ]. PKC-epsilon has also been found to confer cardioprotection against ischemia and reperfusion-mediated damage [, ]. Other cellular functions include the regulation of gene expression, cell adhesion, and cell motility [].This entry also includes PKCs from invertebrates, such as Pkc98E from Drosophila, which exhibits sequence identity to PKC-epsilon [].

Description: Proteins containing this domain are a family of phosphoinositide phosphatases with substrates that include phosphatidylinositol-4,5-diphosphate and phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate. This family is conserved in deuterostomes; VSP was first identified as a sperm flagellar plasma membrane protein in Ciona intestinalis []. Gene duplication events in primates resulted in the presence of paralogs, transmembrane phosphatase with tensin homology (TPTE) and TPTE2, that retain protein domain architecture but, in the case of TPTE, have lost catalytic activity. TPTE, also called cancer/testis antigen 44 (CT44), may play a role in the signal transduction pathways of the endocrine or spermatogenic function of the testis. TPTE2, also called TPTE and PTEN homologous inositol lipid phosphatase (TPIP), occurs in several differentially spliced forms; TPIP alpha displays phosphoinositide 3-phosphatase activity and is localized on the endoplasmic reticulum, while TPIP beta is cytosolic and lacks detectable phosphatase activity [, ]. VSP/TPTE proteins contain an N-terminal voltage sensor consisting of four transmembrane segments, a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-like phosphoinositide phosphatase catalytic domain, followed by a regulatory C2 domain [].

Description: Semaphorins were first cloned as recognised mediators of cellular guidance, and consist of a large family of phylogenetically conserved secreted and transmembrane signalling proteins. Among the best-characterised vertebrate Semaphorins are the five secreted Class 3 members that contain an approximately 500 amino acid N-terminal Semaphorin domain, a C2 type immunoglobulin domain, and a highly basic C-terminal tail []. Two receptor families have been implicated in mediating the actions of class 3 semaphorins: the Neuropilins and Plexins. The nine known vertebrate Plexins are divided into four subfamilies (A through D) based on structure []. Several Plexins have been shown to interact directly with some class 4, 7 and V Semaphorins, but class 3 Semaphorins, however, do not appear to bind Plexins directly. Rather, the functional receptors for these Semaphorins are complexes of Neuropilins and A-type Plexins, with the former serving as the ligand-binding moiety and the latter the signal-transducing component [, ]. There are two Neuropilins (NP-1 and NP-2) that bind the five class 3 Semaphorins preferentially. In particular, Sema3A binds NP-1, whereas Sema3F utilises NP-2, while NP-1 and NP-2 heterodimers are thought to serve as functional receptors for Sema3C [].Semaphorin 4F may be involved in the injury response of intramedullary axotomized motoneurons [].
