10.1126/stke.2000.40.tw10]   Review PDZ Domains  Defined
tertiary structures allow proteins to bind to and communicate
with other proteins. The PDZ domain, identified in several
signaling proteins located at the plasma membrane, binds to a
(T/S)XV motif found in the COOH-terminus of other proteins.
Garner et al. review the role of the PDZ domain in protein
complex assembly in pre- and postsynaptic membranes, and the
formation of signaling "active zones."  Garner, C.C., Nash, J.
