Second C-terminal Src homology 3 domain of Dynamin Binding Protein, also called Tuba, and similar domains
DNMBP or Tuba is a cdc42-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that contains four N-terminal SH3 domains, a central RhoGEF [or Dbl homology (DH)] domain followed by a Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain, and two C-terminal SH3 domains. It provides a functional link between dynamin, Rho GTPase signaling, and actin dynamics. It plays an important role in regulating cell junction configuration. The C-terminal SH3 domains of DNMBP bind to N-WASP and Ena/VASP proteins, which are key regulatory proteins of the actin cytoskeleton. Also included in this subfamily is the second C-terminal SH3 domain of Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 37 (ARHGEF37), whose function is still unknown. 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.
