Description: | Domain of unknown function present in signalling proteins that contain PH, rasGEF, rhoGEF, rhoGAP, RGS, PDZ domains. DEP domain in Drosophila dishevelled is essential to rescue planar polarity defects and induce JNK signalling (Cell 94, 109-118). |
Interpro abstract (IPR000591): | This entry represents the DEP (Dishevelled, Egl-10 and Pleckstrin) domain, a globular domain of about 80 residues that is found in over 50 proteins involved in G-protein signalling pathways. It was named after the three proteins it was initially found in:
Mammalian regulators of G-protein signalling also contain these domains, and regulate signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G-protein alpha subunits, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. It has been proposed that the DEP domain could play a selective role in targeting DEP domain-containing proteins to specific subcellular membranous sites, perhaps even to specific G protein-coupled signaling pathways [ (PUBMED:10987813) (PUBMED:11101902) ]. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has revealed that the DEP domain comprises a three-helix bundle, a beta-hairpin 'arm' composed of two beta-strands and two short beta-strands in the C-terminal region [ (PUBMED:11101902) ]. |
