Figure 1. Structures of EH[2] in complex with NPF[Hrb] and with NPF[Hrb(L arrow R)]. a, Stereo view showing C traces of 20 superimposed NMR structures of the EH[2] -NPF[Hrb(L arrow R)] complex. The backbone C', N, and C atoms of residues 145 -175 of EH[2], which include helices B and C, were used for superposition. The TNPFR sequence of NPF[Hrb(L arrow R)] is indicated in black. The backbone of EH[2] is color coded as follows: helix A consists of residues 126 -136 and is depicted in dark blue; B, 148 -156, in orange; C, 162 -172, in red; and D, 182 -197, in light blue. Loops connecting the helices are indicated in different shades of green. The calcium ion in the second EF-hand is represented as an orange sphere. N and C indicate the N- and C-termini of EH[2], respectively. b, Stereo view showing C traces of 20 superimposed NMR structures of the EH[2] -NPF[Hrb] complex using the same color scheme as in (a). The slightly different orientation of the Phe side chain in the structures can be attributed to a few NOEs that could not be assigned in spectra of EH[2] -NPF[Hrb] due to spectral overlap. c, Ribbon and surface representation of EH[2] -NPF[ Hrb(L arrow R)]. The TNPFR part of the peptide is shown with C, N and O atoms colored yellow, blue and red, respectively. The Phe and +3 residue HN protons that interact with the Asn side chain oxygen atoms are shown in white. Val 151, Leu 155, Leu 165 and Trp 169 at the base of the NPF binding site of EH[2] are displayed as stick models in green. The helices are color coded as in (a). d, Ribbon and surface diagram of EH[2] -NPF[Hrb] using the same color scheme as in ( c).
