| description | PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 6 of multi-PDZ-domain protein 1 (MUPP1). MUPP1 and PATJ serve as scaffolding proteins linking different proteins and protein complexes involved in the organisation of tight junctions and epithelial polarity. MUPP1 contains an L27 (Lin-2 and Lin-7 binding) domain and 13 PDZ domains. PATJ (also known as INAD-like) contains an L27 domain and ten PDZ domains. PATJ lacks 3 PDZ domains seen in MUPP1: PDZ6, PDZ9, and PDZ13. This MuPP1-like PDZ6 domain is therefore absent from PATJ. MUPP1 and PATJ share several binding partners, including junctional adhesion molecules (JAM), zonula occludens (ZO)-3, Pals1 (protein associated with Lin-7), Par (partitioning defective)-6 proteins, and nectins (adherence junction adhesion molecules). PDZ domains usually bind in a sequence-specific manner to short peptide sequences located at the C-terminal end of their partner proteins (known as PDZ binding motifs). The PDZ superfamily includes canonical PDZ domains as well as those with circular permutations and domain swapping mediated by ��-strands. This domain is a canonical PDZ domain containing six ��-strands A-F and two ��-helices (��-helix 1 and 2), arranged in the order: ��-strands A, B, C, ��-helix 1, ��-strands D, E, ��-helix 2 and ��-strand F [, , , , , , , , ]. |
