The WW domain of Yes-associated protein binds a proline-rich ligand that differs from the consensus established for Src homology 3-binding modules.

Abstract: The WW domain has previously been described as a motif of 38 semiconserved residues found in seemingly unrelated proteins, such as dystrophin, Yesassociated protein (YAP), and two transcriptional regulators, Rsp-5 and FE65. The molecular function of the WW domain has been unknown until this time. Using a functional screen of a cDNA expression library, we have identified two putative ligands of the WW domain of YAP, which we named WBP-1 and WBP-2. Peptide sequence comparison between the two partial clones revea… Show more

“…This residue is therefore critical for correct regulation of the Na + channel. Other studies have reported that a subset of WWPs, including Nedd4, require a tyrosine in the binding sites of their substrates [17,23]. Recently Lu et al [33] reported binding of murine Nedd4 and Pin1 WW domains to phosphoserine-and phosphothreonine-containing peptides.…”

“…Such regions can mediate binding to WW and SH3 (Src homology 3) domains, small hydrophobic protein domains (38 and 60 amino acids respectively) that bind to proline-containing motifs. WW domains bind to ligands containing either PPXY [17] or PPLP [18,19] sequences, whereas the minimal binding motif for SH3 domains is PXXP [20].…”

“…The WW domain is a well characterized protein module that mediates specific protein-protein interactions with ligands that contain short proline-rich motifs (15)(16)(17). The domain is composed of 38 amino acids, and it is one of the smallest among modular protein domains.…”

“…The GK domain of S-SCAM is shorter than that of PSD-95/SAP90. The WW domain is a protein-interacting module binding a proline-rich sequence (25). The recent version of simple modular architecture research tool recognizes an additional PDZ domain at the N terminus of S-SCAM (26).…”
