Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Structure of the Erbin PDZ bound to the unphosphorylated ErbB2 peptide. A, sequence comparison of selected class I PDZ domains. Identical residues in four or more domains are shown as white letters on blue background. Hyphens represent gaps inserted for optimum alignment. The secondary structure of the Erbin PDZ is indicated at the top. Residues forming a short -helix in PDZs with known structures are enclosed in a red box. B, stereo view of the Erbin PDZ bound to the peptide EYLGLDVPV. The figure was made using BOBSCRIPT (30) and POV-Ray (www.povray.org). C, surface topology of the Erbin PDZ bound to the ErbB2 peptide. The figure was made using GRASP (31). D, two-dimensional representation of the interactions between Erbin PDZ residues (orange) and the peptide (purple). Water molecules (W) are shown as cyan spheres, hydrogen bonds as dashed lines, and hydrophobic interactions as arcs with radial spokes. The figure was made using LIGPLOT (32). E, stereo view of a weighted 2F[obs] F[calc] electron density map at the P[2] pocket calculated at 1.25 Å and contoured at 2.5 .
