Fifth (C-terminal) Src homology 3 domain of Tyrosine kinase substrate with five SH3 domains Tks5, also called SH3 and PX domain-containing protein 2A (SH3PXD2A) or Five SH (FISH), is a scaffolding protein and Src substrate that is localized in podosomes, which are electron-dense structures found in Src-transformed fibroblasts, osteoclasts, macrophages, and some invasive cancer cells. It binds and regulates some members of the ADAMs family of transmembrane metalloproteases, which function as sheddases and mediators of cell and matrix interactions. It is required for podosome formation, degradation of the extracellular matrix, and cancer cell invasion. Tks5 contains an N-terminal Phox homology (PX) domain and five SH3 domains. This model characterizes the fifth (C-terminal) SH3 domain of Tks5. 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.
