FIG. 3. Overall structures of the PDZ dimer. A, Shank1 PDZ dimer. The black arrow indicates the N-terminal end of each peptide ligand. B, ribbon diagram of the GRIP PDZ6 dimer (Protein Data Bank code 1N7F [PDB] ). C, Shank PDZ dimer interface. Side chains of hydrophobic residues at the interface are shown as ball and stick models. D, amino acid sequence and predicted secondary structure of the C-terminal domain of PIX. The secondary structure was predicted using the PredictProtein Web server (cubic.bioc.columbia.edu/predictprotein/). E, proposed model of the Shank1 PDZ and PIX C terminus complex. The figures were made using PyMOL (www.pymol.org).
