Bivalent Mical/EHBP Rab binding domain; A variety of different effector proteins interact specifically with GTP-bound Rab proteins and mediate their versatile roles in membrane trafficking, including budding of vesicles from a donor membrane, directed transport through the cell and finally tethering and fusion with a target membrane. The 'bivalent Mical/EHBP Rab binding' (bMERB) domain is a Rab effector domain that is present in proteins of the Mical and EHBP families, both known to act in endosomal trafficking. The bMERB domain displays a preference for Rab8 family proteins (Rab8, 10, 13 and 15) and at least some of the bMERB domains contain two separate binding sites for Rab-proteins, allowing Micals and EHBPs to bind two Rabs simultaneously. The strong similarity between the two binding sites within one bMRB domain strongly suggests an evolutionarily development via duplication of a common ancestor supersecondary structure element. The bMERB domain has a completely alpha-helical fold consisting of a central helix and N- and C-terminal helices folding back on this central helix.

Calponin homology (CH) domain; The CH domain is found in both cytoskeletal proteins and signal transduction proteins. The CH domain is involved in actin binding in some members of the family. However in calponins there is evidence that the CH domain is not involved in its actin binding activity. Most member proteins have from two to four copies of the CH domain, however some proteins such as calponin have only a single copy.

chromosome segregation protein SMC, primarily archaeal type; SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) proteins bind DNA and act in organizing and segregating chromosomes for partition. SMC proteins are found in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. It is found in a single copy and is homodimeric in prokaryotes, but six paralogs (excluded from this family) are found in eukarotes, where SMC proteins are heterodimeric. This family represents the SMC protein of archaea and a few bacteria (Aquifex, Synechocystis, etc); the SMC of other bacteria is described by TIGR02168. The N- and C-terminal domains of this protein are well conserved, but the central hinge region is skewed in composition and highly divergent.

calponin homology (CH) domain found in the EH domain-binding protein (EHBP) family; The EHBP family includes EHBP1 and EHBP1-like protein (EHBP1L1). EHBP1 is a regulator of endocytic recycling and may play a role in actin reorganization by linking clathrin-mediated endocytosis to the actin cytoskeleton. It may act as an effector of small GTPases, including RAB-10 (Rab10), and play a role in vesicle trafficking. EHBP1 is associated with aggressive prostate cancer and insulin-stimulated trafficking and cell migration. EHBP1L1 may also act as Rab effector protein and play a role in vesicle trafficking. It coordinates Rab8 and Bin1 to regulate apical-directed transport in polarized epithelial cells. Members of this family contain a single copy of the CH domain. CH domains are actin filament (F-actin) binding motifs.

calponin homology (CH) domain found in the MICAL and EHBP families; This group is composed of the molecule interacting with CasL protein (MICAL) and EH domain-binding protein (EHBP) families. MICAL is a large, multidomain, cytosolic protein with a single LIM domain, a calponin homology (CH) domain and a flavoprotein monooxygenase (MO) domain. In Drosophila, MICAL is expressed in axons, interacts with the neuronal A (PlexA) receptor and is required for Semaphorin 1a (Sema-1a)-PlexA-mediated repulsive axon guidance. The LIM and CH domains mediate interactions with the cytoskeleton, cytoskeletal adaptor proteins, and other signaling proteins. The flavoprotein MO is required for semaphorin-plexin repulsive axon guidance during axonal pathfinding in the Drosophila neuromuscular system. The EHBP family includes EHBP1 and EHBP1-like protein (EHBP1L1). EHBP1 is a regulator of endocytic recycling and may play a role in actin reorganization by linking clathrin-mediated endocytosis to the actin cytoskeleton. It may act as an effector of small GTPases, including RAB-10 (Rab10), and play a role in vesicle trafficking. EHBP proteins contain a single CH domain.

calponin homology (CH) domain found in MICAL-like protein 2 and similar proteins; MICAL-like protein 2 (MICAL-L2), also called junctional Rab13-binding protein (JRAB), or molecule interacting with CasL-like 2, acts as an effector of small Rab GTPases which is involved in junctional complexes assembly through the regulation of cell adhesion molecule transport to the plasma membrane, and actin cytoskeleton reorganization. It regulates the endocytic recycling of occludins, claudins, and E-cadherin to the plasma membrane and may thereby regulate the establishment of tight junctions and adherens junctions. Members of this subfamily contain a single copy of CH domain. CH domains are actin filament (F-actin) binding motifs.

Cytospin-A, also called renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-22, sperm antigen with calponin homology and coiled-coil domains 1-like, or SPECC1-like (SPECC1L) protein, is involved in cytokinesis and spindle organization. It may play a role in actin cytoskeleton organization and microtubule stabilization and hence, is required for proper cell adhesion and migration. Cytospin-B, also called nuclear structure protein 5 (NSP5), sperm antigen HCMOGT-1, or sperm antigen with calponin homology and coiled-coil domains 1 (SPECC1), is a novel fusion partner to PDGFRB in juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia with translocation t(5;17)(q33;p11.2).

second calponin homology (CH) domain found in the beta spectrin family; The beta spectrin family includes beta-I, -II, -III, -IV and -V spectrins. Spectrin is an actin crosslinking and molecular scaffold protein that links the plasma membrane to the actin cytoskeleton, and functions in the determination of cell shape, arrangement of transmembrane proteins, and organization of organelles. It is composed of two antiparallel dimers of alpha- and beta- subunits. Beta-I spectrin, also called spectrin beta chain, erythrocytic (SPTB), may be involved in anaemia pathogenesis. Beta-II spectrin, also called spectrin beta chain, non-erythrocytic 1 (SPTBN1), or fodrin beta chain, is a component of fodrin, which is the general spectrin-like protein that seems to be involved in secretion. Fodrin interacts with calmodulin in a calcium-dependent manner and is thus a candidate for the calcium-dependent movement of the cytoskeleton at the membrane. Beta-IV spectrin is also called spectrin, non-erythroid beta chain 3 (SPTBN3) or spectrin beta chain, non-erythrocytic 4 (SPTBN4). Its mutation associates with congenital myopathy, neuropathy, and central deafness. Beta-III spectrin is also called spectrin beta chain, non-erythrocytic 2 (SPTBN2), or spinocerebellar ataxia 5 protein (SCA5). Beta-V spectrin, also called spectrin beta chain, non-erythrocytic 5 (SPTBN5), is a mammalian ortholog of Drosophila beta H spectrin. Beta-III and Beta-V spectrins may play crucial roles as longer actin-membrane cross-linkers or fulfill the need for greater extensible flexibility than can be provided by the other smaller conventional spectrins. Members of this family contain two copies of the CH domain. This model corresponds to the second CH domain. CH domains are actin filament (F-actin) binding motifs.

calponin homology (CH) domain found in molecule interacting with CasL protein 2; MICAL-2 is a nuclear [F-actin]-monooxygenase that promotes depolymerization of F-actin by mediating oxidation of specific methionine residues on actin to form methionine-sulfoxide, resulting in actin filament disassembly and preventing repolymerization. In the absence of actin, it also functions as a NADPH oxidase producing H(2)O(2). MICAL-2 acts as a key regulator of the serum response factor (SRF) signaling pathway elicited by nerve growth factor and serum.

second calponin homology (CH) domain found in the plectin/dystonin/MACF1 family; This family includes plectin, dystonin and microtubule-actin cross-linking factor 1, isoforms 1/2/3/5 (MACF1). Plectin, also called PCN, PLTN, hemidesmosomal protein 1 (HD1), or plectin-1, is a structural component of muscle. It interlinks intermediate filaments with microtubules and microfilaments, and anchors intermediate filaments to desmosomes or hemidesmosomes. It could also bind muscle proteins such as actin to membrane complexes in muscle. Dystonin, also called 230 kDa bullous pemphigoid antigen, 230/240 kDa bullous pemphigoid antigen, bullous pemphigoid antigen 1 (BPA or BPAG1), dystonia musculorum protein, or hemidesmosomal plaque protein, is a cytoskeletal linker protein that acts as an integrator of intermediate filaments, actin, and microtubule cytoskeleton networks. It is required for anchoring either intermediate filaments to the actin cytoskeleton in neural and muscle cells, or keratin-containing intermediate filaments to hemidesmosomes in epithelial cells. MACF1, also called 620 kDa actin-binding protein (ABP620), actin cross-linking family protein 7 (ACF7), macrophin-1, or trabeculin-alpha, is a large protein containing numerous spectrin and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains. It facilitates actin-microtubule interactions at the cell periphery and couples the microtubule network to cellular junctions. Members of this family contain two copies of the CH domain. This model corresponds to the second CH domain. CH domains are actin filament (F-actin) binding motifs.

calponin homology (CH) domain found in the smoothelin family; The smoothelin family includes smoothelin and smoothelin-like proteins. Smoothelins are actin-binding cytoskeletal proteins that are abundantly expressed in healthy visceral (smoothelin-A) and vascular (smoothelin-B) smooth muscle. SMTNL1, also called calponin homology-associated smooth muscle protein (CHASM), plays a role in the regulation of contractile properties of both striated and smooth muscles. It can bind to calmodulin and tropomyosin. When it is unphosphorylated, SMTNL1 may inhibit myosin dephosphorylation. SMTNL2 is highly expressed in skeletal muscle and could be associated with differentiating myocytes. Members of this family contain a single copy of the CH domain. CH domains are actin filament (F-actin) binding motifs.

Calponin homology (CH) domain; The CH domain is found in both cytoskeletal proteins and signal transduction proteins. The CH domain is involved in actin binding in some members of the family. However in calponins there is evidence that the CH domain is not involved in its actin binding activity. Most member proteins have from two to four copies of the CH domain, however some proteins such as calponin have only a single copy.

second calponin homology (CH) domain found in the filamin family; The filamin family includes filamin-A (FLN-A), filamin-B (FLN-B) and filamin-C (FLN-C). Filamins function to anchor various transmembrane proteins to the actin cytoskeleton. FLN-A is also called actin-binding protein 280 (ABP-280), alpha-filamin, endothelial actin-binding protein, filamin-1, or non-muscle filamin. It promotes orthogonal branching of actin filaments and links actin filaments to membrane glycoproteins. It also serves as a scaffold for a wide range of cytoplasmic signaling proteins. FLN-B is also called ABP-278, ABP-280 homolog, actin-binding-like protein, beta-filamin, filamin homolog 1 (Fh1), filamin-3, thyroid autoantigen, truncated actin-binding protein, or truncated ABP. It connects cell membrane constituents to the actin cytoskeleton and may also promote orthogonal branching of actin filaments as well as link actin filaments to membrane glycoproteins. FLN-C, also called FLNc, ABP-280-like protein, ABP-L, actin-binding-like protein, filamin-2, or gamma-filamin, is a muscle-specific filamin that plays a central role in muscle cells, probably by functioning as a large actin-cross-linking protein. It may be involved in reorganizing the actin cytoskeleton in response to signaling events, and may also display structural functions at the Z lines in muscle cells. FLN-C is critical for normal myogenesis and for maintaining the structural integrity of the muscle fibers. This family also includes Drosophila melanogaster protein jitterbug (Jbug), which is an actin-meshwork organizing protein containing three copies of the CH domain. Other members of this family contain two copies of the CH domain. This model corresponds to the second CH domain. CH domains are actin filament (F-actin) binding motifs.
