Figure 1. Quality of the Structure and Overall View of the CDK2–CksHs1 Complex(A) Stereo view of the 2.6 Å resolution omit Fo–Fc electron density map, contoured at 2σ, showing the predominant cluster of hydrophobic residues forming the binding interface. The coordinates of this region (5% of the total number of atoms) were omitted and the protein coordinates were refined by simulated annealing before the phase calculation. Residues are labeled in white for CDK2 and in yellow for CksHs1.(B) Ribbon diagram of CksHs1 (yellow) bound to CDK2, with the N-lobe in purple and the C-lobe in blue and green. The ATP molecule is displayed at the interface of the two CDK2 lobes (white bonds with red oxygen and blue nitrogen atoms as spheres) and is taken from the free CDK2 coordinates ([11]). The functional structural elements are color coded for CDK2: the β1–β2 loop, red; the disordered loop to the PSTAIRE sequence in helix α1, asterisks; the T loop, white. Side chains forming the phosphorylation sites in the β1–β2 loop (Thr-14 and Tyr-15) and in the T loop (Thr-160) (orange bonds with red oxygen atoms as balls), as well as the CksHs1 side chains forming the conserved phosphate anion–binding site (β1 Lys-11, β2 Arg-20, β3 Trp-54, and β4 Arg-71) (white bonds with blue nitrogen atoms as balls), are displayed. The CDK2 secondary elements involved in the binding interface are highlighted (green), and CksHs1 loops β1–β2 and β3–β4 are labeled L1 and L3, respectively.(C) CksHs1 molecular surface, colored with the residues buried to a 1.6 Å probe radius in pale yellow, the nonburied residues in white, and the phosphate anion–binding site in blue. A ribbon diagram of the CDK2 molecule is shown with the color code and orientation as in (B). A CksHs1 Cα trace (orange) is shown through the surface and reveals that the buried residues cluster in the interior concave face of the CksHs1 β sheet and in the β1–β2 and β3–β4 loops, which envelop the CDK2 helix α5 and loop L14 (green).(D) CDK2 molecular surface, with buried residues in helix α5 (green) and loop L14 (cyan); nonburied residues are shown in white. CksHs1 residues involved in the binding interface are shown (orange bonds with red oxygen, blue nitrogen, and yellow sulfur atoms as balls) with a Cα trace (yellow). CksHs1 residues in all four β strands participate in the binding interface.
