Figure 1. Structure of SOS^DH-PH-cat(A) Domain organization of SOS and overview of a ternary Ras:SOS complex. The crystal structure of the Ras:SOS^cat:Ras^Y64A•GppNp ternary complex is shown (Margarit et al., 2003; PDB code 1NVV). The helical hairpin of the Cdc25 domain is shown in orange.(B) The crystal structure of SOS^DH-PH-cat. Two orthogonal views are shown with coloring according to the diagram shown in (A).(C) Comparison of SOS^DH-PH-cat with the structure of the ternary Ras:SOS^cat:Ras•GTP complex (PDB code 1NVV). The structures were aligned through superpositioning of the two respective Rem domains of SOS^DH-PH-cat and SOS^cat. Ras at the catalytic site is not shown for clarity (see [A]). Note that the distal Ras^Y64A•GppNp (green) in the ternary complex overlaps with the DH domain of SOS^DH-PH-cat. A close-up view of the Rem-Cdc25 interface is shown (right).
