Figure 2.
Fig. 2. PDZ1 interaction with the [2]AR and PDGFR carboxyl termini. A and B, stereo images of the hNHERF PDZ1 binding pocket bound to the [2]AR (A) and PDGFR (B) carboxyl-terminal ligands. Carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms are shown in black, red, and blue, respectively. Water molecules are depicted as green spheres, and hydrogen bonds are shown as dashed lines. C and D, two-dimensional representations of the interactions observed between the hNHERF PDZ1 residues (orange) and [2]AR (C) or PDGFR (D) peptide ligands (purple). Dashed lines denote hydrogen bonds, and numbers indicate hydrogen bond lengths in Å. Hydrophobic interactions are shown as arcs with radial spokes. C and D were generated using LIGPLOT (38). E, superposition of the hNHERF PDZ1 bound to CFTR (yellow), [2]AR (blue), and PDGFR (pink) peptide ligands. For clarity, the 2 strand and 2 helix of the PDZ1 domain are shown as ribbon diagrams, and only the C^ traces are shown for the remaining PDZ1 main chain. Side chains of the peptide ligands and the PDZ1 residues Asn22 and Glu43 are shown as ball-and-stick models.
