摘要: From synthesis to degradation, membrane proteins navigate interwoven networks that control their localization and activity within the cell. At branchpoints these networks, protein-protein interactions often determine flux of individual through specific pathways thus offer targets for therapeutic modulation. The PDZ (PSD-95, Dlg, ZO-1) constitute a major family trafficking regulators. Characterized by presence eponymous interaction domains (PPIDs), generally bind C-termini partners help choreograph movements throughout regulation include cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), chloride channel mutated in patients with (CF)[1].
