| Domain | Molecular Function | Cellular Localization | Role in Pathways |
|---|---|---|---|
| C2 | Typically mediates Ca2+-dependent or lipid-dependent membrane binding; in many proteins acts as a membrane-targeting module that helps recruit enzymes or scaffolds to specific phospholipid surfaces | Cytosolic proteins transiently associating with the plasma membrane, endomembranes, secretory vesicles, or cytoskeletal–membrane interfaces; localization is often stimulus-dependent and regulated by Ca2+ and lipid composition | Common in signaling and trafficking proteins involved in exocytosis, endocytosis, phospholipid signaling, and membrane remodeling; often couples second-messenger signals to membrane recruitment |
| PH | Binds phosphoinositides and sometimes proteins; functions primarily as a localization module that targets proteins to membranes enriched for specific phosphatidylinositol phosphates | Frequently enriched at the plasma membrane, endosomes, Golgi-associated membranes, or other phosphoinositide-defined compartments | Central in signal transduction and membrane trafficking, including PI3K-dependent signaling, recruitment of GEFs/GAPs and kinases, and organization of actin-linked signaling complexes |
| Ras GTPase | Small GTP-binding switch domain cycling between GDP-bound inactive and GTP-bound active states; regulates effector binding, signaling output, and vesicle dynamics depending on the Ras-family context | Usually membrane-associated through lipid modification or protein interactions; common sites include plasma membrane, Golgi, endosomes, and trafficking vesicles | Core regulatory node in pathways controlling growth-factor signaling, MAPK activation, cytoskeletal organization, endocytosis, and intracellular vesicular transport |
| DAB2P_C | C-terminal region related to Disabled-2-interacting/endocytic adaptor proteins; generally associated with scaffold/adaptor roles rather than catalysis, including assembly of protein complexes involved in membrane traffic and cargo handling | Predicted to function on cytosolic faces of membranes, especially endocytic or signaling compartments, where adaptor proteins engage receptors, lipids, and trafficking machinery | Most consistent with roles in endocytic trafficking, receptor internalization, and coordination of signaling with vesicle formation or cargo sorting; likely acts with other membrane-binding domains to specify compartment targeting |
