FIGURE 7. Details of the structure of GluR2-S1S2J(Y450W) in complex with kainate. A, schematic representation of the overall structure of GluR2-S1S2J(Y450W) with zoom on a F[o] - F[c] omit map contoured at 3.0 for kainate (blue in D1 and green in D2). B, stereo view of the ligand binding pocket of GluR2-S1S2J(Y450W) showing the hydrogen-bonding network to kainate (black). C, comparison of the ligand binding pocket of wild-type GluR2-S1S2J (6) (PDB code 1FT0 [PDB] , black) and GluR2-S1S2J(Y450W) (blue in D1 and green in D2), both in complex with kainate. The side chain of residue 450 is depicted showing the 6° difference of the aromatic wedge. Nitrogen atoms are blue, oxygen atoms are red, and sulfur atoms are yellow. The figure was prepared using Molscript (36) and Raster3d (37).
