Atomic structures of PDZ domain(s) of Enigma subfamily members have recently been solved. Likewise, the LIM-1 domain of Enigma Homologue protein has yielded its structure in atomic details; structural models are depicted below from left to right.   
Molecular structures of PDZ domain(s) of the three member proteins have recently been solved. Likewise, the LIM-1 domain of Enigma Homologue protein has yielded its structure in atomic details. Structural models are depicted below from left to right.   


All structures revealed a canonical PDZ-domain fold containing six strands and 2 helices, except the '''PDZ domain of ZASP''' which has an extra helix between the third and fourth strand.
All member protein structures revealed canonical PDZ-domain structural fold containing six β-strands and 2 α-helices [http://smart.embl-heidelberg.de/smart/do_annotation.pl?DOMAIN=PDZ&BLAST=DUMMY], except the '''PDZ domain of ZASP''' which has an extra α-helix between the third and fourth β-strand.
