Evectin Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; There are 2 members of the evectin family (also called pleckstrin homology domain containing, family B): evt-1 (also called PLEKHB1) and evt-2 (also called PLEKHB2). evt-1 is specific to the nervous system, where it is expressed in photoreceptors and myelinating glia. evt-2 is widely expressed in both neural and nonneural tissues. Evectins possess a single N-terminal PH domain and a C-terminal hydrophobic region. evt-1 is thought to function as a mediator of post-Golgi trafficking in cells that produce large membrane-rich organelles. It is a candidate gene for the inherited human retinopathy autosomal dominant familial exudative vitreoretinopathy and a susceptibility gene for multiple sclerosis. evt-2 is essential for retrograde endosomal membrane transport from the plasma membrane (PM) to the Golgi. Two membrane trafficking pathways pass through recycling endosomes: a recycling pathway and a retrograde pathway that links the PM to the Golgi/ER. Its PH domain that is unique in that it specifically recognizes phosphatidylserine (PS), but not polyphosphoinositides. PS is an anionic phospholipid class in eukaryotic biomembranes, is highly enriched in the PM, and plays key roles in various physiological processes such as the coagulation cascade, recruitment and activation of signaling molecules, and clearance of apoptotic cells. PH domains are only found in eukaryotes. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. 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.

Phosphoinositol 3-phosphate binding proteins 1, 2, and 3 pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; PEPP1 (also called PLEKHA4/PH domain-containing family A member 4 and RHOXF1/Rhox homeobox family member 1), and related homologs PEPP2 (also called PLEKHA5/PH domain-containing family A member 5) and PEPP3 (also called PLEKHA6/PH domain-containing family A member 6), have PH domains that interact specifically with PtdIns(3,4)P3. Other proteins that bind PtdIns(3,4)P3 specifically are: TAPP1 (tandem PH-domain-containing protein-1) and TAPP2], PtdIns3P AtPH1, and Ptd- Ins(3,5)P2 (centaurin-beta2). All of these proteins contain at least 5 of the 6 conserved amino acids that make up the putative phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5- trisphosphate-binding motif (PPBM) located at their N-terminus. 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.

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.

Rho GTPase activating protein 25 and related proteins Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; RhoGAP25 (also called ArhGap25) like other RhoGaps are involved in cell polarity, cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. They act as GTPase activators for the Rac-type GTPases by converting them to an inactive GDP-bound state and control actin remodeling by inactivating Rac downstream of Rho leading to suppress leading edge protrusion and promotes cell retraction to achieve cellular polarity and are able to suppress RAC1 and CDC42 activity in vitro. Overexpression of these proteins induces cell rounding with partial or complete disruption of actin stress fibers and formation of membrane ruffles, lamellipodia, and filopodia. This hierarchy contains RhoGAP22, RhoGAP24, and RhoGAP25. Members here contain an N-terminal PH domain followed by a RhoGAP domain and either a BAR or TATA Binding Protein (TBP) Associated Factor 4 (TAF4) domain. 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.

Myosin phosphatase-RhoA Interacting Protein Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; M-RIP is proposed to play a role in myosin phosphatase regulation by RhoA. M-RIP contains 2 PH domains followed by a Rho binding domain (Rho-BD), and a C-terminal myosin binding subunit (MBS) binding domain (MBS-BD). The amino terminus of M-RIP with its adjacent PH domains and polyproline motifs mediates binding to both actin and Galpha. M-RIP brings RhoA and MBS into close proximity where M-RIP can target RhoA to the myosin phosphatase complex to regulate the myosin phosphorylation state. M-RIP does this via its C-terminal coiled-coil domain which interacts with the MBS leucine zipper domain of myosin phosphatase, while its Rho-BD, directly binds RhoA in a nucleotide-independent manner. 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.

Set binding factor 1 (also called Human MTMR5) Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domain; Sbf1 is a myotubularin-related pseudo-phosphatase. Both Sbf1 and myotubularin interact with the SET domains of Hrx and other epigenetic regulatory proteins, but Sbf1 lacks phosphatase activity due to several amino acid changes in its structurally preserved catalytic pocket. It contains pleckstrin (PH), GEF, and myotubularin homology domains that are thought to be responsible for signaling and growth control. Sbf1 functions as an inhibitor of cellular growth. The N-terminal GEF homology domain serves to inhibit the transforming effects of Sbf1. 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.

ACAP contain an NH2-terminal bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain, a phospholipid-binding domain, a PH domain, a GAP domain, and four ankyrin repeats. The AZAPs constitute a family of Arf GAPs that are characterized by an NH2-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and a central Arf GAP domain followed by two or more ankyrin repeats. On the basis of sequence and domain organization, the AZAP family is further subdivided into four subfamilies: 1) the ACAPs contain an NH2-terminal bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain (a phospholipid-binding domain that is thought to sense membrane curvature), a single PH domain followed by the GAP domain, and four ankyrin repeats; 2) the ASAPs also contain an NH2-terminal BAR domain, the tandem PH domain/GAP domain, three ankyrin repeats, two proline-rich regions, and a COOH-terminal Src homology 3 domain; 3) the AGAPs contain an NH2-terminal GTPase-like domain (GLD), a split PH domain, and the GAP domain followed by four ankyrin repeats; and 4) the ARAPs contain both an Arf GAP domain and a Rho GAP domain, as well as an NH2-terminal sterile-a motif (SAM), a proline-rich region, a GTPase-binding domain, and five PH domains. PMID 18003747 and 19055940 Centaurin can bind to phosphatidlyinositol (3,4,5)P3. 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.

Connector enhancer of KSR (Kinase suppressor of ras) (CNK) pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; CNK family members function as protein scaffolds, regulating the activity and the subcellular localization of RAS activated RAF. There is a single CNK protein present in Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans in contrast to mammals which have 3 CNK proteins (CNK1, CNK2, and CNK3). All of the CNK members contain a sterile a motif (SAM), a conserved region in CNK (CRIC) domain, and a PSD-95/DLG-1/ZO-1 (PDZ) domain, and, with the exception of CNK3, a PH domain. A CNK2 splice variant CNK2A also has a PDZ domain-binding motif at its C terminus and Drosophila CNK (D-CNK) also has a domain known as the Raf-interacting region (RIR) that mediates binding of the Drosophila Raf kinase. This cd contains CNKs from mammals, chickens, amphibians, fish, and crustacea. 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.
