What is a scaffold protein? What roles do they play in signal transduction?
Roles of scaffold proteins • Spatial localization or targeting - create microenvironment in close proximity to effectors. • Substrate specificity • Signal integration - scaffold proteins bring together signal initiators and terminators.

Summary • Scaffold proteins can create substrate specificity (i.e. PP1 phosphatase). • Scaffold proteins bring together signaling molecules and cytoskeleton components to control structural and mechanical signal induced modifications. • Conserved protein-protein interactions binding motifs such as PDZ domains help scaffolding proteins to organize multi-signaling complexes as seen in postsynaptic densities and presynaptic active zones.
