Figure 2.
FIGURE 2. Phosphopeptide complexes of Nck1-SH2 and Nck2-SH2. A, Nck1-SH2 binds Tir12 (yellow), a 12-residue peptide from the EPEC virulence factor Tir. Two N-terminal glutamate residues of the peptide, not resolved in the electron density, are excluded. The electrostatic surface reveals a deep, positively charged (blue) phosphotyrosine binding pocket. B, Nck2-SH2 complexed to Tir8 (green). C, schematic representation of the Nck-SH2/Tir interaction. Chemical bonds of Tir12 are shown in black, and those of residues of Nck are shown in orange. Hydrogen bonds are indicated by dashed lines, hydrophobic interactions by green arcs, and a cation- interaction by a blue dashed line.
