RESUMO

The basic function of the Src homology 3 (SH3) domain is considered to be binding to proline-rich sequences containing a PxxP motif. Recently, many SH3 domains, including those from Grb2 and Pex13p, were reported to bind sequences lacking a PxxP motif. We report here that the 22 residue peptide lacking a PxxP motif, derived from p47phox, binds to the C-terminal SH3 domain from p67phox. We applied the NMR cross-saturation method to locate the interaction sites for the non-PxxP peptides on their cognate SH3 domains from p67phox, Grb2 and Pex13p. The binding site of the Grb2 SH3 partially overlapped the conventional PxxP-binding site, whereas those of p67phox and Pex13p SH3s are located in different surface regions. The non-PxxP peptide from p47phox binds to the p67phox SH3 more tightly when it extends to the N-terminus to include a typical PxxP motif, which enabled the structure determination of the complex, to reveal that the non-PxxP peptide segment interacted with the p67phox SH3 in a compact helix–turn–helix structure (PDB entry 1K4U).
