The Phox Homology domain, a phosphoinositide binding module; The PX domain is a phosphoinositide (PI) binding module involved in targeting proteins to membranes. Proteins containing PX domains interact with PIs and have been implicated in highly diverse functions such as cell signaling, vesicular trafficking, protein sorting, lipid modification, cell polarity and division, activation of T and B cells, and cell survival. Many members of this superfamily bind phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P) but in some cases, other PIs such as PI4P or PI(3,4)P2, among others, are the preferred substrates. In addition to protein-lipid interaction, the PX domain may also be involved in protein-protein interaction, as in the cases of p40phox, p47phox, and some sorting nexins (SNXs). The PX domain is conserved from yeast to humans and is found in more than 100 proteins. The majority of PX domain-containing proteins are SNXs, which play important roles in endosomal sorting.

The phosphoinositide binding Phox Homology domain of Sorting Nexin 16; The PX domain is a phosphoinositide (PI) binding module present in many proteins with diverse functions. Sorting nexins (SNXs) make up the largest group among PX domain containing proteins. They are involved in regulating membrane traffic and protein sorting in the endosomal system. The PX domain of SNXs binds PIs and targets the protein to PI-enriched membranes. SNXs differ from each other in PI-binding specificity and affinity, and the presence of other protein-protein interaction domains, which help determine subcellular localization and specific function in the endocytic pathway. SNX16 contains a central PX domain followed by a coiled-coil region. SNX16 is localized in early and recycling endosomes through the binding of its PX domain to phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P). It plays a role in epidermal growth factor (EGF) signaling by regulating EGF receptor membrane trafficking.

The phosphoinositide binding Phox Homology Domain of Cytokine-Independent Survival Kinase; The PX domain is a phosphoinositide (PI) binding module present in many proteins with diverse functions. Cytokine-independent survival kinase (CISK), also called Serum- and Glucocorticoid-induced Kinase 3 (SGK3), plays a role in cell growth and survival. It is expressed in most tissues and is most abundant in the embryo and adult heart and spleen. It was originally discovered in a screen for antiapoptotic genes. It phosphorylates and inhibits the proapoptotic proteins, Bad and FKHRL1. CISK/SGK3 also regulates many transporters, ion channels, and receptors. It plays a critical role in hair follicle morphogenesis and hair cycling. N-terminal to a catalytic kinase domain, CISK contains a PX domain which binds highly phosphorylated PIs, directs membrane localization, and regulates the enzyme's activity.

The phosphoinositide binding Phox Homology domain of Sorting Nexin 1; The PX domain is a phosphoinositide (PI) binding module present in many proteins with diverse functions. Sorting nexins (SNXs) make up the largest group among PX domain containing proteins. They are involved in regulating membrane traffic and protein sorting in the endosomal system. The PX domain of SNXs binds PIs and targets the protein to PI-enriched membranes. SNXs differ from each other in PI-binding specificity and affinity, and the presence of other protein-protein interaction domains, which help determine subcellular localization and specific function in the endocytic pathway. SNX1 is both membrane associated and a cytosolic protein that exists as a tetramer in protein complexes. It can associate reversibly with membranes of the endosomal compartment, thereby coating these vesicles. SNX1 is a component of the retromer complex, a membrane coat multimeric complex required for endosomal retrieval of lysosomal hydrolase receptors to the Golgi. The retromer consists of a cargo-recognition subcomplex and a subcomplex formed by a dimer of sorting nexins (SNX1 and/or SNX2), which ensures efficient cargo sorting by facilitating proper membrane localization of the cargo-recognition subcomplex. SNX1 contains a Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain C-terminal to the PX domain. The PX domain of SNX1 specifically binds phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P) and PI(3,5)P2, while the BAR domain detects membrane curvature. Both domains help determine the specific membrane-targeting of SNX1, which is localized to a microdomain in early endosomes where it regulates cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor retrieval to the trans Golgi network.

It inhibits the conversion of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] to PI(3,4,5)P3, which leads in the decrease of protein phosphorylation in the Akt signaling pathway, resulting in apoptosis. SNX19 may also be implicated in coronary heart disease and thyroid oncocytic tumors.
