FIG. 1. Structures of the Dab DH domain. Overview of ligand-free Dab2-DH (A), the binary complex of Dab2-DH with the APP peptide (-7NGYENPTYK+1) (B), and the ternary complex of Dab1-DH with the same APP peptide and Ins-1,4,5-P[3] (C). Helices are shown in cyan, strands are shown in yellow, and other structural elements are shown in brown. The APP peptide is shown in green, whereas carbons of Ins-1,4,5-P[3] binding residues are in yellow (ball and stick representations). Note that the NPXY motif binding site is 25 Å from the binding site for Ins-1,4,5-P[3], consistent with the possible simultaneous binding of the Dab DH domain to peptides and to phosphoinositides (18, 27). D, structural comparison of Dab2-DH with the other NPXY binding PTB/PI domains Shc and X-11 (left to right). The top panels show the NPXY peptides (green), Tyr-0 (carbons, green; ball and stick representation), and the interacting protein residues (carbons, gray; ball and stick representation). The bottom panels show close-up views of the Tyr-0-binding site. Hydrogen bonds are indicated by broken lines.
