FIGURE 1. Solution structure of the Smurf2 WW3 domain-Smad7 PY peptide complex. a, superposition of the 30 lowest energy structures. The WW3 domain backbone is shown in blue and side chains in turquoise, except for positions typically occupied by conserved Trp residues, which are in green. The PY peptide backbone is red with side chains shown in gold. b, ribbon diagram of the lowest energy structure. The coloring scheme is as in a, except that WW3 domain loop regions are shown in gray. Residues designated with a prime symbol (') are Smad7 residues. For clarity, some side chains are not shown. Figs. 1, 2, 3a, and 5b were generated using MOLMOL (37). N, N terminus; C, C terminus.
