SH3-Guanylate Kinase Module from PSD-95

Overview

Membrane-associated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs), such as PSD-95, are, modular scaffolds that organize signaling complexes at synapses and other, cell junctions. MAGUKs contain PDZ domains, which recruit signaling, proteins, as well as a Src homology 3 (SH3) and a guanylate kinase-like, (GK) domain, implicated in scaffold oligomerization. The crystal structure, of the SH3-GK module from PSD-95 reveals that these domains form an, integrated unit: the SH3 fold comprises noncontiguous sequence elements, divided by a hinge region and the GK domain. These elements compose two, subdomains that can assemble in either an intra- or intermolecular fashion, to complete the SH3 fold. We propose a model for MAGUK oligomerization in, which complementary SH3 subdomains associate by 3D domain swapping. This, model provides a possible mechanism for ligand regulation of, oligomerization.
