Solution structure of SH3 domain from Shank3
Structural highlights
Disease[SHAN3_HUMAN] Autism;Monosomy 22q13;Schizophrenia. A chromosomal aberration involving SHANK3 is found in patients with chromosome 22q13.3 deletion syndrome. Translocation t(12;22)(q24.1;q13.3) with APPL2/DIP13B.[1] Defects in SHANK3 are associated with neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD), bipolar affective disorders and early dementia onset. ASD are characterized by impairments in reciprocal social interaction and communication as well as restricted and stereotyped patterns of interest and activities. ASD include forms with moderate to severe cognitive impairment and milder forms with higher cognitive ability (Asperger syndrome). Gene duplication is associated with hyperkinetic neuropsychiatric disorders (PubMed:24153177) such as hyperactivity, auditory overstimulation, epilepsy and bipolar affective disorders, among others.[2] The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Function[SHAN3_HUMAN] Major scaffold postsynaptic density protein which interacts with multiple proteins and complexes to orchestrate the dendritic spine and synapse formation, maturation and maintenance. Interconnects receptors of the postsynaptic membrane including NMDA-type and metabotropic glutamate receptors via complexes with GKAP/PSD-95 and HOMER, respectively, and the actin-based cytoskeleton. Plays a role in the structural and functional organization of the dendritic spine and synaptic junction through the interaction with Arp2/3 and WAVE1 complex as well as the promotion of the F-actin clusters. By way of this control of actin dynamics, participates in the regulation of developing neurons growth cone motility and the NMDA receptor-signaling. Also modulates GRIA1 exocytosis and GRM5/MGLUR5 expression and signaling to control the AMPA and metabotropic glutamate receptor-mediated synaptic transmission and plasticity. May be required at an early stage of synapse formation and be inhibited by IGF1 to promote synapse maturation.[3] Publication Abstract from PubMedShank proteins are abundant scaffold proteins in the postsynaptic density (PSD) region of brain synapses. Mutations in Shank proteins are associated with autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease. To gain insights into Shank protein interactions at the PSD, we determined the solution structures of the src homology 3 (SH3) domains of all three mammalian Shank proteins. Our findings indicate that they have identical and typical SH3 folding motifs, but unusual target-binding pockets. An investigation into the interaction between the Shank SH3 domains and the proline-rich region of the Cav1.3 calcium channel revealed an atypical interaction in which the highly acidic specificity binding pocket of the SH3 domains binds to a Cav1.3 region containing a cluster of three Arg residues. Our study provides insights into Shank SH3-mediated interactions.
