We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.

Description

Src homology 3 (SH3) domains (see <PDOC50002>) are widespread among metazoan intracellular signalling proteins and typically bind proline-rich polypeptides. The SH3b domain is a prokaryotic homologue. The SH3b domain might have two possible functions: (1) promoting survival of a pathogen within the invaded cell by modulating pathways controlled by SH3 domains; or (2) promoting invasion by binding to receptors on eukaryotic cells [1,2].

Some proteins known to contain a SH3b domain are listed below:

  • Listeria invasion-associated protein p60, a probable endopeptidase.
  • Staphylococcus simulans lysostaphin.
  • Bacillus subtilis β-N-acetylglucosaminidase lytD.
  • Bacillus subtilis uncharacterized protein YfhK.
  • Synechocystis sp. serine/threonine-protein kinase D (spkD).

The profile we developed covers the entire SH3b domain.

Last update:

October 2017 / Profile revised.
