Figure 1.
Crystallographic snapshot of the trans-phosphorylation reaction at Y769, a major phosphorylation site in FGFR2K. (A) The substrate-acting kinase (in yellow) interacts with both N- and C-lobe of the enzyme-acting kinase (in green) during the trans-phosphorylation on Y769. (B) The tyrosine of the peptide substrate in the kinase-peptide structure (in blue) occupies a similar position as the Y769 in the substrate-acting kinase. (C) The trans-phosphorylation reaction on Y769 phosphorylation site. The near parallel arrangement of the αI helix from the substrate-acting kinase and the αG helix from the enzyme-acting kinase is denoted by the two arrows. The extra ordered residues at the C-tail of the trans-phosphorylating kinases structure compared with the kinase-peptide structure are highlighted in magenta. (D) The interaction between the C-lobe of the substrate-acting kinase and the N-lobe of the enzyme-acting kinase. Selected residues are show in stick diagrams. Atom colorings are as follows: red, oxygens; blue, nitrogens; yellow, phosphorus; carbons are colored according to the kinase molecule to which they belong. Hydrogen bonds are shown as black dashed lines. The ATP analogue (in cyan) is shown in stick representation, and its molecular surface is also shown as a solid semitransparent surface. Mg^2+ ions are in pink.
