The Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain of Arfaptin-like proteins, a dimerization module that binds and bends membranes. The BAR domain of Arfaptin-like proteins, also called the Arfaptin domain, is a dimerization, lipid binding and curvature sensing module present in Arfaptins, PICK1, ICA69, and similar proteins. Arfaptins are ubiquitously expressed proteins implicated in mediating cross-talk between Rac, a member of the Rho family GTPases, and Arf (ADP-ribosylation factor) small GTPases. Arfaptins bind to GTP-bound Arf1, Arf5, and Arf6, with strongest binding to GTP-Arf1. Arfaptins also binds to Rac-GTP and Rac-GDP with similar affinities. The Arfs are thought to bind to the same surface as Rac, and their binding is mutually exclusive. Protein Interacting with C Kinase 1 (PICK1) plays a key role in the trafficking of AMPA receptors, which are critical for regulating synaptic strength and may be important in cellular processes involved in learning and memory. Islet cell autoantigen 69-kDa (ICA69) is a diabetes-associated autoantigen that is involved in membrane trafficking at the Golgi complex in neurosecretory cells. ICA69 associates with PICK1 through their BAR domains to form a heterodimer which is involved in regulating the synaptic targeting and surface expression of AMPA receptors. BAR domains form dimers that bind to membranes, induce membrane bending and curvature, and may also be involved in protein-protein interactions.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
