Figure 1. a: Itch-ww3 sequence. Two possible sites identified by NetPhos 2.0 phosphorylation prediction server are indicated in red. The immediate amino acid environment of Thr30 is typical of a phosphorylation site for Casein kinase II, CK2, whereas protein kinase A, PKA is predicted to phosphorylate both Thr30 and Ser16. b: A ribbon representation of Itch-ww3 domain showing the side chains of conserved aromatic residues in magenta. Ser16 and Thr30 are displayed in gold. The stereo-view of the best-fit backbone superposition of 10 NMR derived structures selected according to the lowest energy is shown in the Supplementary Material. The structures are displayed with MOLMOL.[20] c: Selected region of 2D NOESY experiments carried out in D[2]O, showing a characteristic pattern of - NOEs found in the WW fold. 1 corresponds to T30-V23, 2 to K12-F22, 3 to N24-W10, and 4 T14-V20. A table containing the proton chemical shifts of the three domains is given as Supplementary Material.
