Figure 2 Comparison of Ins(1,3,4,5)P[4] binding to the PH domains of PDK1, DAPP1 and PKB . Interactions of Ins(1,3,4,5)P[4] (marine) with protein residues (green in PDK1, orange in DAPP1/PKB ) in the phosphoinositide-binding site are shown in a stereo representation. Hydrogen bonds are indicated as black dotted lines, and conserved water molecules are shown as yellow spheres. (A) Protein -ligand interactions of PDK1 PH domain with Ins(1,3,4,5)P[4]. A layer of ordered water molecules (coloured in magenta) separates the ligand from VL1, only one of which is conserved in other PH domain structures (coloured in gold). (B) Ins(1,3,4,5)P[4] binding to DAPP1 (pdb-id 1fao; Ferguson et al, 2000). The D5-phosphate is closely enveloped by VL1. (C) Ins(1,3,4,5)P[4] binding to PKB (pdb-id 1h10; Thomas et al, 2001). The ligand is rotated and VL1 contacts the D1-phosphate, while the D5-phosphate is solvent exposed. (D) Overlay of the structures of the PDK1 (green), DAPP1 (orange) and PKB (blue) PH domains. The Ins(1,3,4,5)P[4] ligand and the layer of ordered water molecules of PDK1 are shown, and coloured according to (A).
