Full-length WWP2 consists of an amino terminal C2 domain, four WW domains (labeled WW1-WW4) and a carboxy terminal HECT domain. WW domains are one of the smallest protein modules, consisting of less than 40 amino acids, and are characterized by two highly conserved <scene name='84/848928/Trpsinww2/1'>Tryptophan residues</scene> 20-22 residues apart along with high affinity for proline-rich motifs. Linkers of varying length connect the C2 domain to WW1, WW1 to WW2, WW2 to WW3, WW3 to WW4, and WW4 to the HECT domain. A chimeric <scene name='84/848928/Overallcolored/9'>structure</scene> of WWP2 consisting of the WW2 domain, the WW2-WW3 linker (2,3-linker), and the HECT domain is shown on the right.
