Src Homology 3 domain of Membrane Protein, Palmitoylated 5 (or MAGUK p55 subfamily member 5) MPP5, also called PALS1 (Protein associated with Lin7) or Nagie oko protein in zebrafish or Stardust in Drosophila, is a scaffolding protein which associates with Crumbs homolog 1 (CRB1), CRB2, or CRB3 through its PDZ domain and with PALS1-associated tight junction protein (PATJ) or multi-PDZ domain protein 1 (MUPP1) through its L27 domain. The resulting tri-protein complexes are core proteins of the Crumb complex, which localizes at tight junctions or subapical regions, and is involved in the maintenance of apical-basal polarity in epithelial cells and the morphogenesis and function of photoreceptor cells. MPP5 is critical for the proper stratification of the retina and is also expressed in T lymphocytes where it is important for TCR-mediated activation of NFkB. Drosophila Stardust exists in several isoforms, some of which show opposing functions in photoreceptor cells, which suggests that the relative ratio of different Crumbs complexes regulates photoreceptor homeostasis. MPP5 contains two L27 domains followed by the core of three domains characteristic of MAGUK (membrane-associated guanylate kinase) proteins: PDZ, SH3, and guanylate kinase (GuK). In addition, it also contains the Hook (Protein 4.1 Binding) motif in between the SH3 and GuK domains. The GuK domain in MAGUK proteins is enzymatically inactive; instead, the domain mediates protein-protein interactions and associates intramolecularly with the SH3 domain. 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. |
