The LIM domain of LIM and SH3 Protein (LASP); The LIM domain of LIM and SH3 Protein (LASP): LASP family contains two highly homologous members, LASP-1 and LASP-2. LASP contains a LIM motif at its amino terminus, a src homology 3 (SH3) domains at its C-terminal part, and a nebulin-like region in the middle. LASP-1 and -2 are highly conserved in their LIM, nebulin-like, and SH3 domains ,but differ significantly at their linker regions. Both proteins are ubiquitously expressed and involved in cytoskeletal architecture, especially in the organization of focal adhesions. LASP-1 and LASP-2, are important during early embryo- and fetogenesis and are highly expressed in the central nervous system of the adult. However, only LASP-1 seems to participate significantly in neuronal differentiation and plays an important functional role in migration and proliferation of certain cancer cells while the role of LASP-2 is more structural. The expression of LASP-1 in breast tumors is increased significantly. As in other LIM domains, this domain family is 50-60 amino acids in size and shares two characteristic zinc finger motifs. The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues, mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond to two zinc atoms. LIM domains function as adaptors or scaffolds to support the assembly of multimeric protein.

C-terminal Src Homology 3 domain of the Nebulin family of proteins; Nebulin family proteins contain multiple nebulin repeats, and may contain an N-terminal LIM domain and/or a C-terminal SH3 domain. They have molecular weights ranging from 34 to 900 kD, depending on the number of nebulin repeats, and they all bind actin. They are involved in the regulation of actin filament architecture and function as stabilizers and scaffolds for cytoskeletal structures with which they associate, such as long actin filaments or focal adhesions. Nebulin family proteins that contain a C-terminal SH3 domain include the giant filamentous protein nebulin, nebulette, Lasp1, and Lasp2. Lasp2, also called LIM-nebulette, is an alternatively spliced variant of nebulette. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.

C-terminal Src Homology 3 domain of Nebulette and LIM-nebulette (or Lasp2); Nebulette is a cardiac-specific protein that localizes to the Z-disc. It interacts with tropomyosin and is important in stabilizing actin thin filaments in cardiac muscles. Polymorphisms in the nebulette gene are associated with dilated cardiomyopathy, with some mutations resulting in severe heart failure. Nebulette is a 107kD protein that contains an N-terminal acidic region, multiple nebulin repeats, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. LIM-nebulette, also called Lasp2 (LIM and SH3 domain protein 2), is an alternatively spliced variant of nebulette. Although it shares a gene with nebulette, Lasp2 is not transcribed from a muscle-specific promoter, giving rise to its multiple tissue expression pattern with highest amounts in the brain. It can crosslink actin filaments and it affects cell spreading. Lasp2 is a 34kD protein containing an N-terminal LIM domain, three nebulin repeats, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.

Src homology 3 domain of Cortactin; Cortactin was originally identified as a substrate of Src kinase. It is an actin regulatory protein that binds to the Arp2/3 complex and stabilizes branched actin filaments. It is involved in cellular processes that affect cell motility, adhesion, migration, endocytosis, and invasion. It is expressed ubiquitously except in hematopoietic cells, where the homolog hematopoietic lineage cell-specific 1 (HS1) is expressed instead. Cortactin contains an N-terminal acidic domain, several copies of a repeat domain found in cortactin and HS1, a proline-rich region, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. The N-terminal region interacts with the Arp2/3 complex and F-actin, and is crucial in regulating branched actin assembly. Cortactin also serves as a scaffold and provides a bridge to the actin cytoskeleton for membrane trafficking and signaling proteins that bind to its SH3 domain. Binding partners for the SH3 domain of cortactin include dynamin2, N-WASp, MIM, FGD1, among others. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs.

Src Homology 3 domain of Pak Interactive eXchange factors; PIX proteins are Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), which activate small GTPases by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. They act as GEFs for both Cdc42 and Rac 1, and have been implicated in cell motility, adhesion, neurite outgrowth, and cell polarity. Vertebrates contain two proteins from the PIX subfamily, alpha-PIX and beta-PIX. Alpha-PIX, also called ARHGEF6, is localized in dendritic spines where it regulates spine morphogenesis. Mutations in the ARHGEF6 gene cause X-linked intellectual disability in humans. Beta-PIX play roles in regulating neuroendocrine exocytosis, focal adhesion maturation, cell migration, synaptic vesicle localization, and insulin secretion. PIX proteins contain an N-terminal SH3 domain followed by RhoGEF (also called Dbl-homologous or DH) and Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domains, and a C-terminal leucine-zipper domain for dimerization. The SH3 domain of PIX binds to an atypical PxxxPR motif in p21-activated kinases (PAKs) with high affinity. The binding of PAKs to PIX facilitate the localization of PAKs to focal complexes and also localizes PAKs to PIX targets Cdc43 and Rac, leading to the activation of PAKs. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.

First Src Homology 3 domain of SH3 domain containing ring finger proteins; This model represents the first SH3 domain of SH3RF1 (or POSH), SH3RF2 (or POSHER), SH3RF3 (POSH2), and similar domains. Members of this family are scaffold proteins that function as E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases. They all contain an N-terminal RING finger domain and multiple SH3 domains; SH3RF1 and SH3RF3 have four SH3 domains while SH3RF2 has three. SH3RF1 plays a role in calcium homeostasis through the control of the ubiquitin domain protein Herp. It may also have a role in regulating death receptor mediated and JNK mediated apoptosis. SH3RF3 interacts with p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2) and GTP-loaded Rac1. It may play a role in regulating JNK mediated apoptosis in certain conditions. SH3RF2 acts as an anti-apoptotic regulator of the JNK pathway by binding to and promoting the degradation of SH3RF1. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.

The second LIM domain of Cysteine Rich Protein 2 (CRP2); The second LIM domain of Cysteine Rich Protein 2 (CRP2): Cysteine-rich proteins (CRPs) are characterized by the presence of two LIM domains linked to short glycine-rich repeats (GRRs). The CRP family members include CRP1, CRP2, CRP3/MLP and TLPCRP1, CRP2 and CRP3 share a conserved nuclear targeting signal (K/R-K/R-Y-G-P-K), which supports the fact that these proteins function not only in the cytoplasm but also in the nucleus. CRPs control regulatory pathways during cellular differentiation, and involve in complex transcription circuits, and the organization as well as the arrangement of the myofibrillar/cytoskeletal network.CRP3 also called Muscle LIM Protein (MLP), which is a striated muscle-specific factor that enhances myogenic differentiation. The second LIM domain of CRP3/MLP interacts with cytoskeletal protein beta-spectrin. CRP3/MLP also interacts with the basic helix-loop-helix myogenic transcription factors MyoD, myogenin, and MRF4 thereby increasing their affinity for specific DNA regulatory elements. LIM domains are 50-60 amino acids in size and share two characteristic zinc finger motifs. The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues, mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond to two zinc atoms. LIM domains function as adaptors or scaffolds to support the assembly of multimeric protein complexes.

Src Homology 3 domain of Mixed Lineage Kinase 4; MLK4 is a Serine/Threonine Kinase (STK), catalyzing the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to S/T residues on protein substrates. MLKs act as mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinases (MAP3Ks, MKKKs, MAPKKKs), which phosphorylate and activate MAPK kinases (MAPKKs or MKKs or MAP2Ks), which in turn phosphorylate and activate MAPKs during signaling cascades that are important in mediating cellular responses to extracellular signals. MLKs play roles in immunity and inflammation, as well as in cell death, proliferation, and cell cycle regulation. The specific function of MLK4 is yet to be determined. Mutations in the kinase domain of MLK4 have been detected in colorectal cancers. MLK4 contains an SH3 domain, a catalytic kinase domain, a leucine zipper, a proline-rich region, and a CRIB domain that mediates binding to GTP-bound Cdc42 and Rac. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.
