PDZ domain 2 of Discs Large 5 (Dlg5) and related domains
PDZ (PSD-95 (Postsynaptic density protein 95), Dlg (Discs large protein), and ZO-1 (Zonula occludens-1)) domain 2 of Drosophila and mammalian Dlg5, and related domains. Dlg5 is a scaffold protein with multiple conserved functions that are independent of each other in regulating growth, cell polarity, and cell adhesion. It has a coiled-coil domain, 4 PDZ domains and a MAGUK domain (an SH3 domain next to a non-catalytically active guanylate kinase domain). Deregulation of Dlg5 has been implicated in the malignancy of several cancer types. PDZ domains usually bind in a sequence-specific manner to short peptide sequences located at the C-terminal end of their partner proteins (known as PDZ binding motifs). The PDZ superfamily includes canonical PDZ domains as well as those with circular permutations and domain swapping mediated by beta-strands. This Dlg5-like family PSZ2 domain is a canonical PDZ domain containing six beta-strands A-F and two alpha-helices (alpha-helix 1 and 2), arranged in the order: beta-strands A, B, C, alpha-helix 1, beta-strands D, E, alpha-helix 2 and beta-strand F.

Comment:based on canonical PDZ domains with structure
Comment:PDZ domains specifically recognize and bind to short C-terminal peptide motifs, but can also recognize internal peptide motifs and certain lipids
