Fig. 2. The InsP[6]-binding and active sites. (A) Electrostatic surface potential of the CPD as viewed from above the InsP[6]-binding site. Blue denotes a positively charged surface; red denotes a negatively charged surface. InsP[6] is shown in the binding site as a stick model. (B) Close-up view of the InsP[6]-binding site. Side chains that directly interact with InsP[6] are labeled and shown as yellow sticks. The electron density for InsP[6] (2F[obs] – F[calc]) is contoured at 2 . (C) Surface topology of the CPD active site. The P1 substrate pocket, C140, and H91 are highlighted in orange, yellow, and blue, respectively. The N terminus is shown as a yellow ribbon, terminating at Ile5 and highlighting the threading of this region along the surface of the core domain. The remaining residues not visible at the N terminus are depicted as a yellow dashed line to illustrate the approximate positioning of the chain during catalysis. (D) Close-up view of the P1 substrate pocket. Amino acids that line the pocket are labeled and colored orange. InsP[6] is shown as in (B) to demonstrate the position of the catalytic site with respect to the InsP[6]-binding site.
