Figure 1.
Figure 1: Lys 17 alters the apo and Ins(1,3,4,5)P[4]-complexed AKT1 PHD structure. a, In apo wild-type PHD, an ionic interaction between Glu 17 and Lys 14 (line) fills the binding pocket. b, E17K PHD apo with Lys 17 turned away from Lys 14. c, E17K PHD with Lys 17 involved in new hydrogen bonds (dashed lines) with a water molecule (orange sphere), interposed with the D6-hydroxyl group, and the D5-phosphate of Ins(1,3,4,5)P[4] (orange). Lys 17 also forms a new hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl of Tyr 18. The D1-phosphate forms a hydrogen bond with the amide of Tyr 18, similar to the wild-type PHD. Distances shown are in angstroms.
