Pleckstrin homology (PH) motifs are approximately 100 amino-acid residues long and have been identified in nearly 100 different eukaryotic proteins, many of which participate in cell signaling and cytoskeletal regulation. Despite minimal sequence homology, the three-dimensional structures are remarkably conserved. This review gives an overview of the PH domain architecture and examines the best-studied examples in an attempt to understand their function.
普列克底物蛋白同源(PH)基序约含100个氨基酸残基,已在近100种不同的真核生物蛋白质中被鉴定出来,其中许多蛋白质参与细胞信号传导和细胞骨架调节。尽管序列同源性很低,但三维结构却非常保守。本综述概述了PH结构域的结构,并研究了一些研究得较为透彻的例子,以期了解它们的功能。
