Abstract
PDZ domains (also known as DHR domains or GLGF repeats) are approximately 90-residue repeats found in a number of proteins implicated in ion-channel and receptor clustering, and the linking of receptors to effector enzymes. PDZ domains are protein-recognition modules; some recognize proteins containing the consensus carboxy-terminal tripeptide motif S/TXV with high specificity. Other PDZ domains form homotypic dimers: the PDZ domain of the neuronal enzyme nitric oxide synthase binds to the PDZ domain of PSD-95, an interaction that has been implicated in its synaptic association. Here we report the crystal structure of the third PDZ domain of the human homologue of the Drosophila discs-large tumour-suppressor gene product, DlgA. It consists of a five-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel flanked by three alpha-helices. A groove runs over the surface of the domain, ending in a conserved hydrophobic pocket and a buried arginine; we suggest that this is the binding site for the C-terminal peptide.

Full text Abstract
Figure 1.
Figure 1. Domain Map of PSD-95/SAP90All members of the PSD-95/SAP90 protein family share this domain sequence. PDZ, SH3, and yeast guanylate kinase homology (GuK) domains are indicated.
Figure 2.
Figure 2. Two Possible Models for the Clustering of Shaker-Type Potassium Channels and PSD-95/SAP90The tetrameric structure of the potassium channel permits interaction with multiple PSD-95/SAP90 proteins.(A) Because each Shaker-type subunit can bind PSD-95/SAP90 at either of its first two PDZ domains, one PSD-95/SAP90 molecule tethers two channels together.(B) PSD-95/SAP90 multimers aggregate with Shaker-type subunits.Note that these models are not mutually exclusive.
