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.
