EF-hand-like motif found in dystrophin-related protein 2 (DRP-2) DRP-2 is a dystrophin homologue mainly expressed in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). It is associated with brain membrane fractions and highly enriched in the postsynaptic density. DRP-2 plays a role in the organization of central cholinergic synapses. It interacts with dystroglycan and L-Periaxin to form a transmembrane complex, which plays a role in Schwann cell-basal lamina interactions and in the regulation of the terminal stages of myelination. Like dystrophin, DRP-2 has a compact cluster of domains comprising four EF-hand-like motifs and a ZZ-domain, followed by a looser region with two coiled-coils. These domains are believed to be involved in protein-protein interactions. In addition, it contains two syntrophin binding sites (SBSs) and a long N-terminal extension that comprises only two spectrin repeats (SRs) and a WW domain. |
