The phosphoinositide binding Phox Homology Domain of Cytokine-Independent Survival Kinase; The PX domain is a phosphoinositide (PI) binding module present in many proteins with diverse functions. Cytokine-independent survival kinase (CISK), also called Serum- and Glucocorticoid-induced Kinase 3 (SGK3), plays a role in cell growth and survival. It is expressed in most tissues and is most abundant in the embryo and adult heart and spleen. It was originally discovered in a screen for antiapoptotic genes. It phosphorylates and inhibits the proapoptotic proteins, Bad and FKHRL1. CISK/SGK3 also regulates many transporters, ion channels, and receptors. It plays a critical role in hair follicle morphogenesis and hair cycling. N-terminal to a catalytic kinase domain, CISK contains a PX domain which binds highly phosphorylated PIs, directs membrane localization, and regulates the enzyme's activity.

The PX domain of SNXs binds PIs and targets the protein to PI-enriched membranes. SNXs differ from each other in PI-binding specificity and affinity, and the presence of other protein-protein interaction domains, which help determine subcellular localization and specific function in the endocytic pathway. This subfamily consists of SNX1, SNX2, and similar proteins. They harbor a Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain, which detects membrane curvature, C-terminal to the PX domain. Both domains have been shown to determine the specific membrane-targeting of SNX1. SNX1 and SNX2 are components of the retromer complex, a membrane coat multimeric complex required for endosomal retrieval of lysosomal hydrolase receptors to the Golgi. The retromer consists of a cargo-recognition subcomplex and a subcomplex formed by a dimer of sorting nexins (SNX1 and/or SNX2), which ensures effcient cargo sorting by facilitating proper membrane localization of the cargo-recognition subcomplex.

Sorting nexins (SNXs) make up the largest group among PX domain containing proteins. They are involved in regulating membrane traffic and protein sorting in the endosomal system. The PX domain of SNXs binds PIs and targets the protein to PI-enriched membranes. SNXs differ from each other in PI-binding specificity and affinity, and the presence of other protein-protein interaction domains, which help determine subcellular localization and specific function in the endocytic pathway. Some SNXs are localized in early endosome structures such as clathrin-coated pits, while others are located in late structures of the endocytic pathway. This subfamily consists of SNX7, SNX30, and similar proteins. They harbor a Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain, which detects membrane curvature, C-terminal to the PX domain, similar to the sorting nexins SNX1-2, SNX4-6, SNX8, and SNX32. Both domains have been shown to determine the specific membrane-targeting of SNX1. The specific function of the sorting nexins in this subfamily has yet to be elucidated.

The phosphoinositide binding Phox Homology domain of Sorting Nexin 1; The PX domain is a phosphoinositide (PI) binding module present in many proteins with diverse functions. Sorting nexins (SNXs) make up the largest group among PX domain containing proteins. They are involved in regulating membrane traffic and protein sorting in the endosomal system. The PX domain of SNXs binds PIs and targets the protein to PI-enriched membranes. SNXs differ from each other in PI-binding specificity and affinity, and the presence of other protein-protein interaction domains, which help determine subcellular localization and specific function in the endocytic pathway. SNX1 is both membrane associated and a cytosolic protein that exists as a tetramer in protein complexes. It can associate reversibly with membranes of the endosomal compartment, thereby coating these vesicles. SNX1 is a component of the retromer complex, a membrane coat multimeric complex required for endosomal retrieval of lysosomal hydrolase receptors to the Golgi. The retromer consists of a cargo-recognition subcomplex and a subcomplex formed by a dimer of sorting nexins (SNX1 and/or SNX2), which ensures efficient cargo sorting by facilitating proper membrane localization of the cargo-recognition subcomplex. SNX1 contains a Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain C-terminal to the PX domain. The PX domain of SNX1 specifically binds phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P) and PI(3,5)P2, while the BAR domain detects membrane curvature. Both domains help determine the specific membrane-targeting of SNX1, which is localized to a microdomain in early endosomes where it regulates cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor retrieval to the trans Golgi network.

These domains are also found in SNX13 and SNX14, which also contain a regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) domain in between the PXA and PX domains. SNX19 interacts with IA-2, a major autoantigen found in type-1 diabetes. It inhibits the conversion of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] to PI(3,4,5)P3, which leads in the decrease of protein phosphorylation in the Akt signaling pathway, resulting in apoptosis. SNX19 may also be implicated in coronary heart disease and thyroid oncocytic tumors.

Hematopoietic lineage cell-specific protein-1 (HS1) binding protein 3 (HS1BP3) associates with HS1 proteins through their SH3 domains, suggesting a role in mediating signaling. It has been reported that HS1BP3 might affect the IL-2 signaling pathway in hematopoietic lineage cells. Mutations in HS1BP3 may also be associated with familial Parkinson disease and essential tremor. HS1BP3 contains a PX domain, a leucine zipper, motifs similar to immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif and proline-rich regions. The PX domain interacts with PIs and plays a role in targeting proteins to PI-enriched membranes.

The phosphoinositide binding Phox Homology Domain of the Alpha Isoform of Class II Phosphoinositide 3-Kinases; The PX domain is a phosphoinositide (PI) binding module present in many proteins with diverse functions. The Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase (PI3K) family of enzymes catalyzes the phosphorylation of the 3-hydroxyl group of the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol. PI3Ks play an important role in a variety of fundamental cellular processes, including cell motility, the Ras pathway, vesicle trafficking and secretion, immune cell activation and apoptosis. PI3Ks are divided into three main classes (I, II, and III) based on their substrate specificity, regulation, and domain structure. Class II PI3Ks preferentially use PI as a substrate to produce PI3P, but can also phosphorylate PI4P to produce PI(3,4)P2. They function as monomers and do not associate with any regulatory subunits. Class II enzymes contain an N-terminal Ras binding domain, a lipid binding C2 domain, a PI3K homology domain of unknown function, an ATP-binding cataytic domain, a PX domain, and a second C2 domain at the C-terminus. The class II alpha isoform, PI3K-C2alpha, plays key roles in clathrin assembly and clathrin-mediated membrane trafficking, insulin signaling, vascular smooth muscle contraction, and the priming of neurosecretory granule exocytosis. The PX domain is involved in targeting of proteins to PI-enriched membranes, and may also be involved in protein-protein interaction.

Vsp5p is the yeast counterpart of human SNX1 and is part of the retromer complex, which functions in the endosome-to-Golgi retrieval of vacuolar protein sorting receptor Vps10p, the Golgi-resident membrane protein A-ALP, and endopeptidase Kex2. The PX domain of Vps5p binds phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P). Similar to SNX1, Vps5p contains a Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain, which detects membrane curvature, C-terminal to the PX domain. Both domains have been shown to determine the specific membrane-targeting of SNX1.

The phosphoinositide binding Phox Homology Domain of Class II Phosphoinositide 3-Kinases similar to the Drosophila PI3K_68D protein; The PX domain is a phosphoinositide (PI) binding module present in many proteins with diverse functions. The Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase (PI3K) family of enzymes catalyzes the phosphorylation of the 3-hydroxyl group of the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol. PI3Ks play an important role in a variety of fundamental cellular processes, including cell motility, the Ras pathway, vesicle trafficking and secretion, immune cell activation and apoptosis. PI3Ks are divided into three main classes (I, II, and III) based on their substrate specificity, regulation, and domain structure. Class II PI3Ks preferentially use PI as a substrate to produce PI3P, but can also phosphorylate PI4P to produce PI(3,4)P2. They function as monomers and do not associate with any regulatory subunits. Class II enzymes contain an N-terminal Ras binding domain, a lipid binding C2 domain, a PI3K homology domain of unknown function, an ATP-binding cataytic domain, a PX domain, and a second C2 domain at the C-terminus. PI3K_68D is a novel PI3K which is widely expressed throughout the Drosophila life cycle. In vitro, it has been shown to phosphorylate PI and PI4P. It is involved in signaling pathways that affect pattern formation of Drosophila wings.

The phosphoinositide binding Phox Homology domain of Sorting Nexin 3; The PX domain is a phosphoinositide (PI) binding module present in many proteins with diverse functions. Sorting nexins (SNXs) make up the largest group among PX domain containing proteins. They are involved in regulating membrane traffic and protein sorting in the endosomal system. The PX domain of SNXs binds PIs and targets the protein to PI-enriched membranes. SNXs differ from each other in PI-binding specificity and affinity, and the presence of other protein-protein interaction domains, which help determine subcellular localization and specific function in the endocytic pathway. SNX3 associates with early endosomes through a PX domain-mediated interaction with phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P). It associates with the retromer complex, a membrane coat multimeric complex required for endosomal retrieval of lysosomal hydrolase receptors to the Golgi, and functions as a cargo-specific adaptor for the retromer. SNX3 is required for the formation of multivesicular bodies, which function as transport intermediates to late endosomes. It also promotes cell surface expression of the amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC), which is critical in sodium homeostasis and maintenance of extracellular fluid volume.
