Fifth Src homology 3 domain (or SH3E) of Intersectin; Intersectins (ITSNs) are adaptor proteins that function in exo- and endocytosis, actin cytoskeletal reorganization, and signal transduction. They are essential for initiating clathrin-coated pit formation. They bind to many proteins through their multidomain structure and facilitate the assembly of multimeric complexes. Vertebrates contain two ITSN proteins, ITSN1 and ITSN2, which exist in alternatively spliced short and long isoforms. The short isoforms contain two Eps15 homology domains (EH1 and EH2), a coiled-coil region and five SH3 domains (SH3A-E), while the long isoforms, in addition, contain RhoGEF (also called Dbl-homologous or DH), Pleckstrin homology (PH) and C2 domains. ITSN1 and ITSN2 are both widely expressed, with variations depending on tissue type and stage of development. The fifth SH3 domain (or SH3E) of ITSN1 has been shown to bind many protein partners including SGIP1, Sos1, dynamin1/2, CIN85, c-Cbl, SHIP2, N-WASP, and synaptojanin-1, 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 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.

Src homology 3 domain of Abl Interactor 2; Abi2 is highly expressed in the brain and eye. It regulates actin cytoskeletal reorganization at adherens junctions and dendritic spines, which is important in cell morphogenesis, migration, and cognitive function. Mice deficient with Abi2 show defects in orientation and migration of lens fibers, neuronal migration, dendritic spine morphology, as well as deficits in learning and memory. Abi proteins are adaptor proteins serving as binding partners and substrates of Abl tyrosine kinases. They are involved in regulating actin cytoskeletal reorganization and play important roles in membrane-ruffling, endocytosis, cell motility, and cell migration. Abi proteins contain a homeobox homology domain, a proline-rich region, and a SH3 domain. The SH3 domain of Abi binds to a PxxP motif in Abl.

Third Src Homology 3 domain (SH3C) of CD2-associated protein and similar proteins; This subfamily is composed of the third SH3 domain (SH3C) of CD2AP, CIN85 (Cbl-interacting protein of 85 kDa), and similar domains. CD2AP and CIN85 are adaptor proteins that bind to protein partners and assemble complexes that have been implicated in T cell activation, kidney function, and apoptosis of neuronal cells. They also associate with endocytic proteins, actin cytoskeleton components, and other adaptor proteins involved in receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling. CD2AP and the main isoform of CIN85 contain three SH3 domains, a proline-rich region, and a C-terminal coiled-coil domain. All of these domains enable CD2AP and CIN85 to bind various protein partners and assemble complexes that have been implicated in many different functions. SH3C of both proteins have been shown to bind to ubiquitin. 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 GRB2-related adaptor protein; GRAP is a GRB-2 like adaptor protein that is highly expressed in lymphoid tissues. It acts as a negative regulator of T cell receptor (TCR)-induced lymphocyte proliferation by downregulating the signaling to the Ras/ERK pathway. It has been identified as a regulator of TGFbeta signaling in diabetic kidney tubules and may have a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. GRAP contains an N-terminal SH3 domain, a central SH2 domain, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. The C-terminal SH3 domains (SH3c) of the related proteins, GRB2 and GRAP2, have been shown to bind to classical PxxP motif ligands, as well as to non-classical motifs. GRB2 SH3c binds Gab2 (Grb2-associated binder 2) through epitopes containing RxxK motifs, while the SH3c of GRAP2 binds to the phosphatase-like protein HD-PTP via a RxxxxK motif.

Src homology 3 domain of Signal Transducing Adaptor Molecules; STAMs were discovered as proteins that are highly phosphorylated following cytokine and growth factor stimulation. They function in cytokine signaling and surface receptor degradation, as well as regulate Golgi morphology. They associate with many proteins including Jak2 and Jak3 tyrosine kinases, Hrs, AMSH, and UBPY. STAM adaptor proteins contain VHS (Vps27, Hrs, STAM homology), ubiquitin interacting (UIM), and SH3 domains. There are two vertebrate STAMs, STAM1 and STAM2, which may be functionally redundant; vertebrate STAMs contain ITAM motifs. They are part of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT-0). STAM2 deficiency in mice did not cause any obvious abnormality, while STAM1 deficiency resulted in growth retardation. Loss of both STAM1 and STAM2 in mice proved lethal, indicating that STAMs are important for embryonic development. 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 Mixed Lineage Kinases 1, 2, and 3; MLKs 1, 2, and 3 are Serine/Threonine Kinases (STKs), 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. Little is known about the specific function of MLK1, also called MAP3K9. It is capable of activating the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway. Mice lacking both MLK1 and MLK2 are viable, fertile, and have normal life spans. MLK2, also called MAP3K10, is abundant in brain, skeletal muscle, and testis. It functions upstream of the MAPK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase. It binds hippocalcin, a calcium-sensor protein that protects neurons against calcium-induced cell death. Both MLK2 and hippocalcin may be associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. MLK3, also called MAP3K11, is highly expressed in breast cancer cells and its signaling through c-Jun N-terminal kinase has been implicated in the migration, invasion, and malignancy of cancer cells. It also functions as a negative regulator of Inhibitor of Nuclear Factor-KappaB Kinase (IKK) and thus, impacts inflammation and immunity. MLKs contain 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.

Src homology 3 domain of Src kinase-like Protein Tyrosine Kinases; Src subfamily members include Src, Lck, Hck, Blk, Lyn, Fgr, Fyn, Yrk, Yes, and Brk. Src (or c-Src) proteins are cytoplasmic (or non-receptor) PTKs which are anchored to the plasma membrane. They contain an N-terminal SH4 domain with a myristoylation site, followed by SH3 and SH2 domains, a tyr kinase domain, and a regulatory C-terminal region containing a conserved tyr. They are activated by autophosphorylation at the tyr kinase domain, but are negatively regulated by phosphorylation at the C-terminal tyr by Csk (C-terminal Src Kinase). However, Brk lacks the N-terminal myristoylation sites. Src proteins are involved in signaling pathways that regulate cytokine and growth factor responses, cytoskeleton dynamics, cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. They were identified as the first proto-oncogene products, and they regulate cell adhesion, invasion, and motility in cancer cells, and tumor vasculature, contributing to cancer progression and metastasis. Src kinases are overexpressed in a variety of human cancers, making them attractive targets for therapy. They are also implicated in acute inflammatory responses and osteoclast function. Src, Fyn, Yes, and Yrk are widely expressed, while Blk, Lck, Hck, Fgr, Lyn, and Brk show a limited expression pattern. This subfamily also includes Drosophila Src42A, Src oncogene at 42A (also known as Dsrc41) which accumulates at sites of cell-cell or cell-matrix adhesion, and participates in Drosphila development and wound healing. It has been shown to promote tube elongation in the tracheal system, is essential for proper cell-cell matching during dorsal closure, and regulates cell-cell contacts in developing Drosophila eyes. The SH3 domain of Src kinases contributes to substrate recruitment by binding adaptor proteins/substrates, and regulation of kinase activity through an intramolecular interaction. 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.

Third Src Homology 3 domain of Nck adaptor proteins; This group contains the third SH3 domain of Nck, the first SH3 domain of Caenorhabditis elegans Ced-2 (Cell death abnormality protein 2), and similar domains. Nck adaptor proteins regulate actin cytoskeleton dynamics by linking proline-rich effector molecules to protein tyrosine kinases and phosphorylated signaling intermediates. They contain three SH3 domains and a C-terminal SH2 domain. They function downstream of the PDGFbeta receptor and are involved in Rho GTPase signaling and actin dynamics. Vertebrates contain two Nck adaptor proteins: Nck1 (also called Nckalpha) and Nck2 (also called Nckbeta or Growth factor receptor-bound protein 4, Grb4), which show partly overlapping functions but also bind distinct targets. Their SH3 domains are involved in recruiting downstream effector molecules, such as the N-WASP/Arp2/3 complex, which when activated induces actin polymerization that results in the production of pedestals, or protrusions of the plasma membrane. The third SH3 domain of Nck appears to prefer ligands with a PxAPxR motif. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that usually bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially a PxxP motif. Ced-2 is a cell corpse engulfment protein that interacts with Ced-5 in a pathway that regulates the activation of Ced-10, a Rac small GTPase.

The longest isoform contains five SH3 domain in the C-terminal region and seven proline-rich motifs in the N-terminal region. It is abundantly expressed in skeletal muscle and heart, and may be involved in regulating the activity of ADAMs (A disintegrin and metalloproteases). Eve-1 interacts with EEN, an endophilin involved in endocytosis and may be the target of the MLL-EEN fusion protein that is implicated in leukemogenesis. 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.

N-terminal Src homology 3 domain of Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2; GRB2 is a critical signaling molecule that regulates the Ras pathway by linking tyrosine kinases to the Ras guanine nucleotide releasing protein Sos (son of sevenless), which converts Ras to the active GTP-bound state. It is ubiquitously expressed in all tissues throughout development and is important in cell cycle progression, motility, morphogenesis, and angiogenesis. In lymphocytes, GRB2 is associated with antigen receptor signaling components. GRB2 contains an N-terminal SH3 domain, a central SH2 domain, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. Its N-terminal SH3 domain binds to Sos and Sos-derived proline-rich peptides.

Second Src homology 3 domain (or SH3B) of Intersectin; Intersectins (ITSNs) are adaptor proteins that function in exo- and endocytosis, actin cytoskeletal reorganization, and signal transduction. They are essential for initiating clathrin-coated pit formation. They bind to many proteins through their multidomain structure and facilitate the assembly of multimeric complexes. Vertebrates contain two ITSN proteins, ITSN1 and ITSN2, which exist in alternatively spliced short and long isoforms. The short isoforms contain two Eps15 homology domains (EH1 and EH2), a coiled-coil region and five SH3 domains (SH3A-E), while the long isoforms, in addition, contain RhoGEF (also called Dbl-homologous or DH), Pleckstrin homology (PH) and C2 domains. ITSN1 and ITSN2 are both widely expressed, with variations depending on tissue type and stage of development. The second SH3 domain (or SH3B) of ITSN1 has been shown to bind WNK and CdGAP. 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 (or second) Src homology 3 domain of VAV proteins; VAV proteins function both as cytoplasmic guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for Rho GTPases and scaffold proteins and they play important roles in cell signaling by coupling cell surface receptors to various effector functions. They play key roles in processes that require cytoskeletal reorganization including immune synapse formation, phagocytosis, cell spreading, and platelet aggregation, among others. Vertebrates have three VAV proteins (VAV1, VAV2, and VAV3). VAV proteins contain several domains that enable their function: N-terminal calponin homology (CH), acidic, RhoGEF (also called Dbl-homologous or DH), Pleckstrin Homology (PH), C1 (zinc finger), SH2, and two SH3 domains. The SH3 domain of VAV is involved in the localization of proteins to specific sites within the cell, by interacting with proline-rich sequences within target proteins. 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 Fyn and Yrk Protein Tyrosine Kinases; Fyn and Yrk (Yes-related kinase) are members of the Src subfamily of proteins, which are cytoplasmic (or non-receptor) PTKs. Fyn, together with Lck, plays a critical role in T-cell signal transduction by phosphorylating ITAM (immunoreceptor tyr activation motif) sequences on T-cell receptors, ultimately leading to the proliferation and differentiation of T-cells. In addition, Fyn is involved in the myelination of neurons, and is implicated in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Yrk has been detected only in chickens. It is primarily found in neuronal and epithelial cells and in macrophages. It may play a role in inflammation and in response to injury. Src kinases contain an N-terminal SH4 domain with a myristoylation site, followed by SH3 and SH2 domains, a tyr kinase domain, and a regulatory C-terminal region containing a conserved tyr. They are activated by autophosphorylation at the tyr kinase domain, but are negatively regulated by phosphorylation at the C-terminal tyr by Csk (C-terminal Src Kinase). The SH3 domain of Src kinases contributes to substrate recruitment by binding adaptor proteins/substrates, and regulation of kinase activity through an intramolecular interaction.
