Figure 2. Overall structure of IGF1RK and activation loop interactions. a, Ribbon diagram of the IGF1RK structure. -strands (numbered) are shown in cyan; -helices (lettered), in red. The peptide is colored orange with the phosphate-acceptor Tyr shown in ball-and-stick representation. The nucleotide analog, AMP-PCP, is also shown in ball-and-stick representation (black). The dashed gray coil represents the disordered portion of the kinase insert. The N-terminal (NT) end of the structure is labeled. The C-terminal end is after J, hidden behind 8. b, Interactions within the A-loop (in stereo). The A-loop (residues 1,123 -1,145) is shown as a backbone worm (green) with side chains of selected residues shown in stick representation (carbon = green, nitrogen = blue, oxygen = red, sulfur = yellow and phosphorus = black). Residues contributing to stabilization of the activation loop via hydrophobic interactions are shown with a molecular surface. Hydrogen bonds are shown as dashed lines (black). c, Interactions between the A-loop and other kinase segments (in stereo). A backbone worm representation is shown for the A-loop (green), a segment including part of the catalytic loop (residues 1,100 -1,105 in orange) and a segment corresponding to 12 (residues 1,157 -1,159 in gray). Side chain and main chain atoms are shown in stick representation with the same color scheme as in (b) with the exception of carbon, which is colored the same as the corresponding backbone worm. For clarity, pTyr 1136 has been omitted.
