First C-terminal Src homology 3 domain of Fungal Actin-binding protein 1
Abp1 is an adaptor protein that functions in receptor-mediated endocytosis and vesicle trafficking. It contains an N-terminal actin-binding module, the actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) homology domain, a central proline-rich region, and a C-terminal SH3 domain (many yeast Abp1 proteins contain two C-terminal SH3 domains). Yeast Abp1 also contains two acidic domains that bind directly to the Arp2/3 complex, which is required to initiate actin polymerization. The SH3 domain of yeast Abp1 binds and localizes the kinases, Ark1p and Prk1p, which facilitate actin patch disassembly following vesicle internalization. It also mediates the localization to the actin patch of the synaptojanin-like protein, Sjl2p, which plays a key role in endocytosis. 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.
