permuted PDZ domain of Deg/high-temperature requirement factor A (HtrA) family of housekeeping serine proteases and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain of Deg/HtrA-type serine proteases that participate in folding and degradation of aberrant proteins, and in processing and maturation of native proteins. Typically, these proteases have an N-terminal serine protease domain and at least one C-terminal PDZ domain that recognizes substrates, and in some cases activates the protease function. An exception is yeast Nma11p which has two protease domains and four PDZ domains; its N-terminal half is comprised of a protease domain, followed by two PDZ domains, and its C-terminal half has a similar domain arrangement. HtrA-type proteases include the human HtrA1-4 and MBTPS2, tricorn protease, DegS, DegP and C-terminal processing peptidase, cyanobacterial serine proteases Hhoa, HhoB, and HtrA, and yeast Nma11p. PDZ domains usually bind in a sequence-specific manner to short peptide sequences located at the C-termini of their partner proteins (known as PDZ binding motifs). The PDZ superfamily includes canonical PDZ domains and as well as those with circular permutations and domain swapping of beta-strands. The canonical PDZ domain contains six beta-strands A-F and two alpha-helices (alpha-helix 1 and 2); arranged as A, B, C, alpha-helix 1, beta-strands D, E, alpha-helix 2 and beta-strand F. This Deg/HtrA family PDZ domain is a circularly permuted PDZ domain which places beta-strand A at the C-terminus. Another permutation exists in the PDZ superfamily which places both beta-strands A and B on the C-terminus.

DegP belongs to the HtrA family of housekeeping proteases. It acts as a protease, degrading transiently denatured and unfolded or misfolded proteins which accumulate in the periplasm following heat shock or other stress conditions, and as a molecular chaperone at low temperatures. DegP has two PDZ domains in addition to the protease domain; its PDZ1 domain is responsible for the identifying the distinct substrate sequences that affect degradation (degron) of the substrate sequence, and its PDZ2 domain is responsible for the combining with other DegP monomers to form a stable oligomer structure. PDZ domains usually bind in a sequence-specific manner to short peptide sequences located at the C-terminal of their partner proteins (known as PDZ binding motifs). The PDZ superfamily includes canonical PDZ domains and as well as those with circular permutations and domain swapping of beta-strands.

PDZD11 (also known as ATPase-interacting PDZ protein, plasma membrane calcium ATPase-interacting single-PDZ protein, PMCA-interacting single-PDZ protein, PISP) is involved in the dynamic assembly of apical junctions (AJs). It is recruited by PLEKHA7 to AJs to promote the efficient junctional recruitment and stabilization of nectins, and the efficient early phases of assembly of AJs in epithelial cells. The PDZD11 PDZ domain binds nectin-1 and nectin-3. PDZD11 also binds to a PDZ binding motif located in the C-terminal tail of the human sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter, to the cytoplasmic tail of the Menkes copper ATPase ATP7A, and to the cytoplasmic tail of all plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase b-splice variants.

Zonula occludens proteins (ZO-1, ZO-2, ZO-3) are multi-PDZ domain proteins involved in the maintenance and biogenesis of multi-protein networks at the cytoplasmic surface of intercellular contacts in epithelial and endothelial cells. They have three N-terminal PDZ domains, PDZ1-3, followed by a Src homology-3 (SH3) domain and a guanylate kinase (GuK)-like domain. Among protein-protein interactions for all ZO proteins is the binding of the first PDZ domain (PDZ1) to the C-termini of claudins , and the homo- and hetero-dimerization of ZO-proteins via their second PDZ domain (PDZ2), which takes place by symmetrical domain swapping of the first two beta-strands of PDZ2. At the cell level, ZO-1 and ZO-2 are involved in polarity maintenance, gene transcription, cell proliferation, and tumor cell metastasis. PDZ domains usually bind in a sequence-specific manner to short peptide sequences located at the C-terminal end of their partner proteins (known as PDZ binding motifs).

GEFs activate Rho GTPases by promoting GTP binding. ARHGEF11/12 are regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) domain-containing GEFs; the RGS domain mediates their binding to and activation of Galpha (and Gq also in the case of ARHGEF12), in response to G-protein coupled receptor activation. ARHGEF11 and 12 are involved in serum-signaling, and regulate Yes-Associated Protein (YAP1)-dependent transcription. The ARHGEF12 PDZ domain binds plexin-B1 and the receptor tyrosine kinase insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-R1) beta-subunit. ARHGEF12 also interacts with glutamate receptor delta-1(GluD1), a postsynaptic organizer of inhibitory synapses in cortical pyramidal neurons.

Densin (also known as leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 7, LRRC7, densin-180, protein LAP1) and erbin (also known as densin-180-like protein, Erbb2-interacting protein, protein LAP2) belong to the LAP (leucine-rich repeat and PDZ domain) family of scaffolding proteins that play roles in the maintenance of cell shape and apical-basal polarity. Densin and erbin are components of the excitatory postsynaptic compartment and are regulators of dendritic morphology and postsynaptic structure. The densin PDZ domain binds CaV1.3 alpha1 subunit, delta-catenin, and MAGUIN-1. Binding partners of the erbin PDZ domain include ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase ErbB2, HTLV-1 Tax1, Cav1.3 Ca2+channels, and constituents of the cadherin:catenin cell adhesion complex, in particular delta-catenin, p0071 and ARVCF. The erbin PDZ domain binds Smad3, a transductor of the TGFbeta pathway, possibly by a novel interface of binding. Erbin and two other LAP proteins (scribble and lano) redundantly regulate epithelial polarity and apical adhesion complex.

PDZ domain of segment polarity protein dishevelled homolog DVL1, DVL2, DVL3, and related domains; PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain of DVL1-3, and related domains. The dishevelleds (DVL1, 2 and 3 in humans) act downstream of Frizzled (FZD) receptors in both the canonical and non-canonical WNT signaling pathway; they bind the cytoplasmic C-terminus of frizzled family members and transduce the Wnt signal to down-stream effectors. They bind to several proteins known to modulate Wnt signaling. Binding partners of the DVL1 PDZ domain include nucleoredoxin (NXN), Van Gogh-like (VANGL1), Wnt receptor RYK, Dapper 1 (DACT1), Frizzled7 (FZD7), transmembrane protein 88 (TMEM88), Daple (dishevelled-associating protein with a high frequency of leucines), also known as Ccdc88c), and cysteine-rich protein Idax. The DVL2 PDZ domain has been shown to bind the nuclear export signal sequence of the DVL2 protein. PDZ domains usually bind in a sequence-specific manner to short peptide sequences located at the C-terminal end of their partner proteins (known as PDZ binding motifs). The PDZ superfamily includes canonical PDZ domains as well as those with circular permutations and domain swapping mediated by beta-strands. This DVL-like family domain is a canonical PDZ domain containing six beta-strands A-F and two alpha-helices (alpha-helix 1 and 2), arranged in the order: beta-strands A, B, C, alpha-helix 1, beta-strands D, E, alpha-helix 2 and beta-strand F.
