The N-terminal SH3 domains bind dynamin and the C-terminal SH3 domain binds actin regulatory proteins. Disease Tuba deficiency causes and abnormal renal ciliary and morphogenetic phenotype. Tuba has a critical role in ciliogenesis and nephrogenesis by regulating Cdc42 activity. Structural highlights Tuba contains 6 SH3 domains. The C-terminal 6th SH3 domain binds proline-rich regions of human actin regulating proteins such as N-WASP and Mena. The peptide forms a polyproline type II helix. The interactions of Tuba with the peptide is via SH3-conserved residues.
