Src Homology 3 domain of fungal BOI-like proteins This subfamily includes the Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins BOI1 and BOI2, and similar proteins. They contain an N-terminal SH3 domain, a Sterile alpha motif (SAM), and a Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain at the C-terminus. BOI1 and BOI2 interact with the SH3 domain of Bem1p, a protein involved in bud formation. They promote polarized cell growth and participates in the NoCut signaling pathway, which is involved in the control of cytokinesis. SH3 domains bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs; they play a role in the regulation of enzymes by intramolecular interactions, changing the subcellular localization of signal pathway components and mediate multiprotein complex assemblies.
