Figure 3. Mode of Binding of the IRK Activation Loop to the APS SH2 Domain(A) Stereo view of the interactions between APS(SH2) and the IRK activation loop. The IRK activation loop is colored yellow and the APS SH2 protomer to which it binds is colored green. For clarity, the other APS SH2 protomer is not shown. Hydrogen bonds/salt bridges are shown with black dashed lines.(B) Path of the IRK activation loop across the APS SH2 domain surface. A ribbon diagram of the APS SH2 dimer is shown, with the two protomers colored green and purple. The Cα trace of the IRK activation loop proximal to pTyr-1158 and pTyr-1162 is colored yellow, with the side chains of the two phosphotyrosines shown in ball-and-stick representation. The SH2 domains of Src (Waksman et al., 1993) and Grb2 (Rahuel et al., 1996) with bound peptides were superimposed (core β sheets) with the green APS SH2 protomer, and the phosphopeptides from the superposition, PQpYEEI for Src (cyan) and PSp YVNVQN for Grb2 (orange), are displayed as Cα traces, with the phosphotyrosines shown in ball-and-stick representation. The N- and C termini of the phosphopeptides are indicated by “N” and “C” of the appropriate color. The two disordered residues between βD and αB in the APS SH2 protomers are represented by small spheres.
