PDZ domain of C-terminal processing-, tail-specific-, and tricorn proteases, which function in posttranslational protein processing, maturation, and disassembly or degradation, in Bacteria, Archaea, and plant chloroplasts. May be responsible for substrate recognition and/or binding, as most PDZ domains bind C-terminal polypeptides, and binding to internal (non-C-terminal) polypeptides and even to lipids has been demonstrated. In this subfamily of protease-associated PDZ domains a C-terminal beta-strand forms the peptide-binding groove base, a circular permutation with respect to PDZ domains found in Eumetazoan signaling proteins.
