RUN domain found in RUN and SH3 domain-containing proteins, RUSC1, RUSC2 and similar proteins; RUSC1, also called new molecule containing SH3 at the carboxy-terminus (NESCA), may acts as a signaling adapter that translocates to the nuclear envelope and regulates neurotrophin-induced neurite outgrowth. RUSC2, also called iporin, or interacting protein of Rab1, is a novel interacting molecule for the active GTP-bound conformation of Rab1. It may function as a link between the targeting of endoplasmic reticulum derived vesicles, triggered by the Rab1 GTPase and a signaling pathway regulated by molecules containing SH3 and/or poly-proline regions. This model contains the RUN domain of RUSC1 and RUSC2.

RUN domain; RUN domain, named after RPIP8 (Rap2 interacting protein 8), UNC-14 and NESCA (new molecule containing SH3 at the carboxyl-terminus), is a less conserved protein motif that comprises six conserved regions, which in some proteins have considerable insertions between them. The domain core is thought to take up a predominantly alpha fold, with basic amino acids in regions A and D possibly playing a functional role in interactions with Ras GTPases. RUN domains are often found in proteins linked particularly to the functions of GTPases in the Rap and Rab families, suggesting the RUN domain may be involved in Rab-mediated membrane trafficking, possibly as a Rab-binding site. RUN domain-containing proteins could hence play important roles in multiple Ras-like GTPase signalling pathways.

Src Homology 3 domain superfamily; Src Homology 3 (SH3) domains are protein interaction domains that bind proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. Thus, they are referred to as proline-recognition domains (PRDs). SH3 domains are less selective and show more diverse specificity compared to other PRDs. They have been shown to bind peptide sequences that lack the PxxP motif; examples include the PxxDY motif of Eps8 and the RKxxYxxY sequence in SKAP55. SH3 domain containing proteins 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, among others. Many members of this superfamily are adaptor proteins that associate with a number of protein partners, facilitating complex formation and signal transduction.

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.

Src homology 3 domain of ARHGEF9-like Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors; Members of this family contain a SH3 domain followed by RhoGEF (also called Dbl-homologous or DH) and Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domains. They include the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors ARHGEF9, ASEF (also called ARHGEF4), ASEF2, and similar proteins. GEFs activate small GTPases by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. ARHGEF9 specifically activates Cdc42, while both ASEF and ASEF2 can activate Rac1 and Cdc42. ARHGEF9 is highly expressed in the brain and it interacts with gephyrin, a postsynaptic protein associated with GABA and glycine receptors. ASEF plays a role in angiogenesis and cell migration. ASEF2 is important in cell migration and adhesion dynamics. ASEF exists in an autoinhibited form and is activated upon binding of the tumor suppressor APC (adenomatous polyposis coli), leading to the activation of Rac1 or Cdc42. In its autoinhibited form, the SH3 domain of ASEF forms an extensive interface with the DH and PH domains, blocking the Rac binding site.

PLCs catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] to produce Ins(1,4,5)P3 and diacylglycerol (DAG). Ins(1,4,5)P3 initiates the calcium signaling cascade while DAG functions as an activator of PKC. PLCgamma contains a Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain followed by an elongation factor (EF) domain, two catalytic regions of PLC domains that flank two tandem SH2 domains, followed by a SH3 domain and C2 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 CSK homologous kinase; CHK is also referred to as megakaryocyte-associated tyrosine kinase (Matk). It inhibits Src kinases using a noncatalytic mechanism by simply binding to them. As a negative regulator of Src kinases, Chk may play important roles in cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation, and consequently, in cancer development and progression. To inhibit Src kinases that are anchored to the plasma membrane, CHK is translocated to the membrane via binding to specific transmembrane proteins, G-proteins, or adaptor proteins near the membrane. CHK also plays a role in neural differentiation in a manner independent of Src by enhancing MAPK activation via Ras-mediated signaling. It is a cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) tyr kinase containing the Src homology domains, SH3 and SH2, N-terminal to the catalytic tyr kinase 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 (SH3) domain of Inhibitor of ASPP protein (iASPP); iASPP, also called RelA-associated inhibitor (RAI), is an oncoprotein that inhibits the apoptotic transactivation potential of p53. It is upregulated in human breast cancers expressing wild-type p53, in acute leukemias regardless of the p53 mutation status, as well as in ovarian cancer where it is associated with poor patient outcome and chemoresistance. iASPP is also a binding partner and negative regulator of p65RelA, which promotes cell proliferation and inhibits apoptosis; p65RelA has the opposite effect on cell growth compared to the p53 family. It contains a proline-rich region, four ankyrin (ANK) repeats, and an SH3 domain at its C-terminal half. The SH3 domain and the ANK repeats of iASPP contribute to the p53 binding site; they bind to the DNA binding domain of p53. 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 CAS (Crk-Associated Substrate) scaffolding protein family member, Neural precursor cell Expressed, Developmentally Down-regulated 9; NEDD9 is also called human enhancer of filamentation 1 (HEF1) or CAS-L (Crk-associated substrate in lymphocyte). It was first described as a gene predominantly expressed in early embryonic brain, and was also isolated from a screen of human proteins that regulate filamentous budding in yeast, and as a tyrosine phosphorylated protein in lymphocytes. It promotes metastasis in different solid tumors. NEDD9 localizes in focal adhesions and associates with FAK and Abl kinase. It also interacts with SMAD3 and the proteasomal machinery which allows its rapid turnover; these interactions are not shared by other CAS proteins. CAS proteins function as molecular scaffolds to regulate protein complexes that are involved in many cellular processes. They share a common domain structure that includes an N-terminal SH3 domain, an unstructured substrate domain that contains many YxxP motifs, a serine-rich four-helix bundle, and a FAT-like C-terminal domain. The SH3 domain of CAS proteins binds to diverse partners including FAK, FRNK, Pyk2, PTP-PEST, DOCK180, among others. 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 Alpha Spectrin; Spectrin is a major structural component of the red blood cell membrane skeleton and is important in erythropoiesis and membrane biogenesis. It is a flexible, rope-like molecule composed of two subunits, alpha and beta, which consist of many spectrin-type repeats. Alpha and beta spectrin associate to form heterodimers and tetramers; spectrin tetramer formation is critical for red cell shape and deformability. Defects in alpha spectrin have been associated with inherited hemolytic anemias including hereditary spherocytosis (HSp), hereditary elliptocytosis (HE), and hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP). Alpha spectrin contains a middle SH3 domain and a C-terminal EF-hand binding motif in addition to multiple spectrin repeats. 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.
