Human Oxysterol binding protein related proteins 3, 6, and 7 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Human ORP3 is proposed to function in regulating the cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion. A proposed specific function for Human ORP6 was not found at present. Human ORP7is proposed to function in negatively regulating the Golgi soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE) of 28kDa (GS28) protein stability via sequestration of Golgi-associated ATPase enhancer of 16 kDa (GATE-16). ORP3 has 2 isoforms: the longer ORP3(1) and the shorter ORP3(2). ORP3(1), ORP6, and ORP7 all contain a N-terminal PH domain, a FFAT motif (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract), and a C-terminal OSBP-related domain. The shorter ORP3(2) is missing the C-terminal portion of its OSBP-related domain. Oxysterol binding proteins are a multigene family that is conserved in yeast, flies, worms, mammals and plants. In general OSBPs and ORPs have been found to be involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol and related lipids in eukaryotes. They all contain a C-terminal oxysterol binding domain, and most contain an N-terminal PH domain. OSBP PH domains bind to membrane phosphoinositides and thus likely play an important role in intracellular targeting. They are members of the oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) family which includes OSBP, OSBP-related proteins (ORP), Goodpasture antigen binding protein (GPBP), and Four phosphate adaptor protein 1 (FAPP1). They have a wide range of purported functions including sterol transport, cell cycle control, pollen development and vessicle transport from Golgi recognize both PI lipids and ARF proteins. PH domains have diverse functions, but in general are involved in targeting proteins to the appropriate cellular location or in the interaction with a binding partner. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. Less than 10% of PH domains bind phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs) with high affinity and specificity. PH domains are distinguished from other PIP-binding domains by their specific high-affinity binding to PIPs with two vicinal phosphate groups: PtdIns(3,4)P2, PtdIns(4,5)P2 or PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 which results in targeting some PH domain proteins to the plasma membrane. A few display strong specificity in lipid binding. Any specificity is usually determined by loop regions or insertions in the N-terminus of the domain, which are not conserved across all PH domains. PH domains are found in cellular signaling proteins such as serine/threonine kinase, tyrosine kinases, regulators of G-proteins, endocytotic GTPases, adaptors, as well as cytoskeletal associated molecules and in lipid associated enzymes.

Pleckstrin homology domain; Domain commonly found in eukaryotic signalling proteins. The domain family possesses multiple functions including the abilities to bind inositol phosphates, and various proteins. PH domains have been found to possess inserted domains (such as in PLC gamma, syntrophins) and to be inserted within other domains. Mutations in Brutons tyrosine kinase (Btk) within its PH domain cause X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) in patients. Point mutations cluster into the positively charged end of the molecule around the predicted binding site for phosphatidylinositol lipids.

Goodpasture antigen binding protein Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; The GPBP (also called Collagen type IV alpha-3-binding protein/hCERT; START domain-containing protein 11/StARD11; StAR-related lipid transfer protein 11) is a kinase that phosphorylates an N-terminal region of the alpha 3 chain of type IV collagen, which is commonly known as the goodpasture antigen. Its splice variant the ceramide transporter (CERT) mediates the cytosolic transport of ceramide. There have been additional splice variants identified, but all of them function as ceramide transport proteins. GPBP and CERT both contain an N-terminal PH domain, followed by a serine rich domain, and a C-terminal START domain. However, GPBP has an additional serine rich domain just upstream of its START domain. They are members of the oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) family which includes OSBP, OSBP-related proteins (ORP), Goodpasture antigen binding protein (GPBP), and Four phosphate adaptor protein 1 (FAPP1). They have a wide range of purported functions including sterol transport, cell cycle control, pollen development and vessicle transport from Golgi recognize both PI lipids and ARF proteins.

Four phosphate adaptor protein 1 and 2 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Human FAPP1 (also called PLEKHA3/Pleckstrin homology domain-containing, family A member 3) regulates secretory transport from the trans-Golgi network to the plasma membrane. It is recruited through binding of PH domain to phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P) and a small GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1). These two binding sites have little overlap the FAPP1 PH domain to associate with both ligands simultaneously and independently. FAPP1 has a N-terminal PH domain followed by a short proline-rich region. FAPP1 is a member of the oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) family which includes OSBP, OSBP-related proteins (ORP), and Goodpasture antigen binding protein (GPBP). They have a wide range of purported functions including sterol transport, cell cycle control, pollen development and vessicle transport from Golgi recognize both PI lipids and ARF proteins. FAPP2 (also called PLEKHA8/Pleckstrin homology domain-containing, family A member 8), a member of the Glycolipid lipid transfer protein(GLTP) family has an N-terminal PH domain that targets the TGN and C-terminal GLTP domain. FAPP2 functions to traffic glucosylceramide (GlcCer) which is made in the Golgi. It's interaction with vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein (VAP) could be a means of regulation. Some FAPP2s share the FFAT-like motifs found in GLTP. PH domains have diverse functions, but in general are involved in targeting proteins to the appropriate cellular location or in the interaction with a binding partner. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. Less than 10% of PH domains bind phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs) with high affinity and specificity.

Myosin X Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, repeat 2; MyoX, a MyTH-FERM myosin, is a molecular motor that has crucial functions in the transport and/or tethering of integrins in the actin-based extensions known as filopodia, microtubule binding, and in netrin-mediated axon guidance. It functions as a dimer. MyoX walks on bundles of actin, rather than single filaments, unlike the other unconventional myosins. MyoX is present in organisms ranging from humans to choanoflagellates, but not in Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans.MyoX consists of a N-terminal motor/head region, a neck made of 3 IQ motifs, and a tail consisting of a coiled-coil domain, a PEST region, 3 PH domains, a myosin tail homology 4 (MyTH4), and a FERM domain at its very C-terminus. The first PH domain in the MyoX tail is a split-PH domain, interupted by the second PH domain such that PH 1a and PH 1b flanks PH 2. The third PH domain (PH 3) follows the PH 1b domain. This cd contains the second PH repeat. PH domains have diverse functions, but in general are involved in targeting proteins to the appropriate cellular location or in the interaction with a binding partner. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. Less than 10% of PH domains bind phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs) with high affinity and specificity.

Plant Oxysterol binding protein related protein Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Plant ORPs contain a N-terminal PH domain and a C-terminal OSBP-related domain. Not much is known about its specific function in plants to date. Members here include: Arabidopsis, spruce, and petunia. Oxysterol binding proteins are a multigene family that is conserved in yeast, flies, worms, mammals and plants. In general OSBPs and ORPs have been found to be involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol and related lipids in eukaryotes. They all contain a C-terminal oxysterol binding domain, and most contain an N-terminal PH domain. OSBP PH domains bind to membrane phosphoinositides and thus likely play an important role in intracellular targeting. They are members of the oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) family which includes OSBP, OSBP-related proteins (ORP), Goodpasture antigen binding protein (GPBP), and Four phosphate adaptor protein 1 (FAPP1). They have a wide range of purported functions including sterol transport, cell cycle control, pollen development and vessicle transport from Golgi recognize both PI lipids and ARF proteins. PH domains have diverse functions, but in general are involved in targeting proteins to the appropriate cellular location or in the interaction with a binding partner. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. Less than 10% of PH domains bind phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs) with high affinity and specificity. PH domains are distinguished from other PIP-binding domains by their specific high-affinity binding to PIPs with two vicinal phosphate groups: PtdIns(3,4)P2, PtdIns(4,5)P2 or PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 which results in targeting some PH domain proteins to the plasma membrane. A few display strong specificity in lipid binding. Any specificity is usually determined by loop regions or insertions in the N-terminus of the domain, which are not conserved across all PH domains. PH domains are found in cellular signaling proteins such as serine/threonine kinase, tyrosine kinases, regulators of G-proteins, endocytotic GTPases, adaptors, as well as cytoskeletal associated molecules and in lipid associated enzymes.

ArfGAP with dual PH domains Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, repeat 2; ADAP (also called centaurin alpha) is a phophatidlyinositide binding protein consisting of an N-terminal ArfGAP domain and two PH domains. In response to growth factor activation, PI3K phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. Centaurin alpha 1 is recruited to the plasma membrane following growth factor stimulation by specific binding of its PH domain to phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. Centaurin alpha 2 is constitutively bound to the plasma membrane since it binds phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate with equal affinity. This cd contains the second PH domain repeat. PH domains have diverse functions, but in general are involved in targeting proteins to the appropriate cellular location or in the interaction with a binding partner. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. Less than 10% of PH domains bind phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs) with high affinity and specificity. PH domains are distinguished from other PIP-binding domains by their specific high-affinity binding to PIPs with two vicinal phosphate groups: PtdIns(3,4)P2, PtdIns(4,5)P2 or PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 which results in targeting some PH domain proteins to the plasma membrane. A few display strong specificity in lipid binding. Any specificity is usually determined by loop regions or insertions in the N-terminus of the domain, which are not conserved across all PH domains. PH domains are found in cellular signaling proteins such as serine/threonine kinase, tyrosine kinases, regulators of G-proteins, endocytotic GTPases, adaptors, as well as cytoskeletal associated molecules and in lipid associated enzymes.

Human Oxysterol binding protein and OSBP-related protein 4 Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Human OSBP is proposed to function is sterol-dependent regulation of ERK dephosphorylation and sphingomyelin synthesis as well as modulation of insulin signaling and hepatic lipogenesis. It contains a N-terminal PH domain, a FFAT motif (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract), and a C-terminal OSBP-related domain. OSBPs and Osh1p PH domains specifically localize to the Golgi apparatus in a PtdIns4P-dependent manner. ORP4 is proposed to function in Vimentin-dependent sterol transport and/or signaling. Human ORP4 has 2 forms, a long (ORP4L) and a short (ORP4S). ORP4L contains a N-terminal PH domain, a FFAT motif (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract), and a C-terminal OSBP-related domain. ORP4S is truncated and contains only an OSBP-related domain. Oxysterol binding proteins are a multigene family that is conserved in yeast, flies, worms, mammals and plants. They all contain a C-terminal oxysterol binding domain, and most contain an N-terminal PH domain. OSBP PH domains bind to membrane phosphoinositides and thus likely play an important role in intracellular targeting.

Bud emergence protein 3 (Bem3) Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; Bud emergence in Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves cell cycle-regulated reorganizations of cortical cytoskeletal elements and requires the action of the Rho-type GTPase Cdc42. Bem3 contains a RhoGAP domain and a PH domain. Though Bem3 and Bem2 both contain a RhoGAP, but only Bem3 is able to stimulate the hydrolysis of GTP on Cdc42. Bem3 is thought to be the GAP for Cdc42. PH domains have diverse functions, but in general are involved in targeting proteins to the appropriate cellular location or in the interaction with a binding partner. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. Less than 10% of PH domains bind phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs) with high affinity and specificity. PH domains are distinguished from other PIP-binding domains by their specific high-affinity binding to PIPs with two vicinal phosphate groups: PtdIns(3,4)P2, PtdIns(4,5)P2 or PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 which results in targeting some PH domain proteins to the plasma membrane. A few display strong specificity in lipid binding. Any specificity is usually determined by loop regions or insertions in the N-terminus of the domain, which are not conserved across all PH domains. PH domains are found in cellular signaling proteins such as serine/threonine kinase, tyrosine kinases, regulators of G-proteins, endocytotic GTPases, adaptors, as well as cytoskeletal associated molecules and in lipid associated enzymes.
