NCIt definition : Proline-Rich Domains may be involved in heterotypic protein-protein interactions in
signal transduction or other pathways. Found in signaling and structural proteins,
WW domains are composed of approximately 40 amino acids folded as a stable, triple
stranded beta-sheet that recognize proline-rich sequences. Some WW domains show a
remarkable similarity to SH3 domains, which also appear to recognize some proline-rich
sequences. Ena/VASP (Drosophila Enabled/Vasodilator-Stimulated Phosphoprotein) Family
members regulate actin filament assembly, often through association with binding partners
that display a proline-rich FPPPP motif. Ena/VASP proteins interact with these partners
via the highly conserved Ena/VASP homology 1 (EVH1) domain. (NCI);
