PROSITE documentation PDOC51070
Stonin homology domain (SHD) profile


Description

Human stonins, like their Drosophila homologue stoned B are supposed to be endocytotic proteins involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis at synapses. The two human stonins, as well as their Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans homologues, exhibit a modular structure consisting of an N-terminal proline- and serine-rich domain, a central stonin homology domain (SHD), and a C-terminal domain homologous to the signal-binding domain of the mu subunits of adaptor protein (AP) complexes (mu-homology domain) (see <PDOC51072>). The ~140 amino-acid SHD domain has not been described in other proteins and may thus be unique to members of the stonin family. Its function is not yet known [1,2].

The profile we developed covers the entire SHD domain.
