Type: Specificity Subtype: Motif hiding | |||||||
| Motif hiding occurs when there is a large difference in intrinsic affinity of overlapping or adjacent motifs for their respective binding partners, or a large difference in the local abundance of these partners. Binding of an effector to one motif sterically masks the overlapping or adjacent motif, thereby precluding it from binding. Binding of the masking molecule can be PTM-dependent or -independent. | |||||||
| GPR15_HUMAN | LIG_14-3-3_4 | 356 | 360 | Phosphorylation-induced binding of 14-3-3 protein beta/alpha (YWHAB) promotes cell surface expression of G-protein coupled receptor 15 (GPR15) by releasing the receptor from the ER retrieval/retention pathway that is mediated by the interaction of its ER retention motif with Coatomer subunit beta (COPB1). | |||
Type: Binary Subtype: Pre‑translational | |||||||
| Pre-translational mechanisms such as alternative splicing, alternative promoter-usage and/or RNA editing result in inclusion or removal of exons that contain an entire or partial motif. | |||||||
| HAP1_RAT | LIG_14-3-3_4 | 594 | 598 | Alternative splicing removes the 14-3-3-binding motif of Isoform Short of Huntingtin-associated protein 1 (Hap1), abrogating binding to 14-3-3 protein zeta/delta (Ywhaz). The association of HAP1A (Isoform Short of Huntingtin-associated protein 1 (Hap1)) with 14-3-3 protein zeta/delta (Ywhaz) inhibits binding of the splice variant to members of the kinesin light chain family and diminishes trafficking of Hap1 to neural processes and neurite tips. The result is a decrease in neurite outgrowth. | |||
