Third Src Homology 3 domain of SH3 domain containing ring finger 1 (SH3RF1), SH3RF3, and similar domains
SH3RF1 (or POSH) and SH3RF3 (or POSH2) are scaffold proteins that function as E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases. They contain an N-terminal RING finger domain and four SH3 domains. This model represents the third SH3 domain, located in the middle of SH3RF1 and SH3RF3, and similar domains. SH3RF1 plays a role in calcium homeostasis through the control of the ubiquitin domain protein Herp. It may also have a role in regulating death receptor mediated and JNK mediated apoptosis. SH3RF3 interacts with p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2) and GTP-loaded Rac1. It may play a role in regulating JNK mediated apoptosis in certain conditions. 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.
