The Plenty of SH3 domains protein (POSH) is an E3 ligase and a scaffold in the JNK mediated apoptosis, linking Rac1 to downstream components. We here describe POSH2 which was identified from a p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2) interactor screen. POSH2 is highly homologous with other members of the POSH family; it contains four Src homology 3 (SH3) domains and a RING finger domain which confers E3 ligase activity to the protein. In addition POSH2 contains an N-terminal extension which is conserved among its mammalian counterparts. POSH2 interacts with GTP-loaded Rac1. We have mapped this interaction to a previously unrecognized partial Cdc42/Rac1-interactive binding domain.
