Figure 2. Distinct Binding Modes of SH3-3 and LIM4 Domains(A) Sequence alignment for SH3-3 and LIM4 with other representative homologs. For representative SH3 domains, CSK (Ghose et al., 2001), p67^phox (Kami et al., 2002), and ScPex13P (Pires et al., 2003) were chosen based on the fact that their crystal structures are available for comparison and that the former two recognize conventional PXXP motifs and the last recognizes a nonconventional sequence. Note that the recognition sequences for Csk and p67phox are not in Table 2 (only non-PxxP binding sequences are in Table 2). Also, although residues marked in blue are essential for PXXP binding, other neighboring residues in the sequence could be potentially involved in binding to immediate regions of the N or C terminus of the PXXP ligand. For the LIM domain, PINCH LIM1 and LMO4 were chosen because their binding modes have been published (Velyvis et al. 2001; Velyvis et al. 2003 and Deane et al. 2003). The binding interface residues for Nck-2 SH3-3 are marked in red and are contrasted to conventional PxxP binding sites in CSK_Hum and p67^phox_Hum (blue), nonconventional binding sites in CSK_Hum and p67^phox_Hum (orange), and ScPex13P (magenta). The binding interface residues for PINCH-1 LIM4 are marked in red and are contrasted to those in PINCH-1 LIM1 and LMO4 (green).(B) The conventional and nonconventional binding site residues for SH3 domains in (A) are projected to the SH3-3 surface. PPII: conventional PxxP ligand binding site. Both CSK and p67phox SH3 domains have conventional and nonconventional binding sites. ScPex13P SH3 has an entirely nonconventional binding mode (magenta), which is better seen by rotating the surface 90° counterclockwise around the z axis. However, all of these binding sites are different from the Nck-2 SH3-3 binding site by LIM4.(C) The binding site residues for the LIM domains in (A) are projected to the PINCH-1 LIM4 surface, showing that the LIM4 binding site for SH3-3 is distinct from those of LMO4 and PINCH-1 LIM1.
