SH3 domains are modules of 50-70 amino acids that promote interactions among proteins, often participating in the assembly of large dynamic complexes. These domains bind to peptide ligands, which usually contain a core Pro-X-X-Pro (PXXP) sequence. Here we identify a class of SH3 domains that bind to ubiquitin. The yeast endocytic protein Sla1, as well as the mammalian proteins CIN85 and amphiphysin, carry ubiquitin-binding SH3 domains. Ubiquitin and peptide ligands bind to the same hydrophobic groove on the SH3 domain surface, and ubiquitin and a PXXP-containing protein fragment compete for binding to SH3 domains. We conclude that a subset of SH3 domains constitutes a distinct type of ubiquitin-binding domain and that ubiquitin binding can negatively regulate interaction of SH3 domains with canonical proline-rich ligands.
SH3结构域是由50 - 70个氨基酸组成的模块,可促进蛋白质之间的相互作用,常参与大型动态复合物的组装。这些结构域与肽配体结合,肽配体通常包含核心序列Pro-X-X-Pro(PXXP)。在此,我们鉴定出一类与泛素结合的SH3结构域。酵母内吞蛋白Sla1以及哺乳动物蛋白CIN85和发动蛋白均带有泛素结合SH3结构域。泛素和肽配体结合在SH3结构域表面的同一疏水凹槽上,泛素和含PXXP的蛋白质片段竞争与SH3结构域的结合。我们得出结论,一部分SH3结构域构成了一种独特类型的泛素结合结构域,并且泛素结合可负向调节SH3结构域与典型富含脯氨酸配体的相互作用。
