Figure 2. Overall Structure of EphA3 Kinase
All molecular graphics figures were generated using PyMOL unless noted.
(A) Cartoon representation of the EphA3 JMKIN base ANP structure. The structure is shown in forest green and in cartoon representation. Secondary structure elements and regions discussed in the test are labeled. Regions of disorder are indicated with dashed lines. This structure was chosen because it represents the highest degree of order modeled for all the EphA3 structures.
(B) Ribbon representation of JMKIN base ANP overlaid with EphB2 in pink (1JPA). Alignment over all atoms yields an rmsd of less than 1Å for all structures; key regions of structural difference occur in the N-terminal lobe, centered on the JMS and the AL, along with slight differences in the β1-G loop-β2 region.
