Figure 2.
Interface between VEGF-C and VEGFR-2. (A) VEGF-C binding interface on VEGFR-2. VEGFR-2 is shown as a cartoon representation with the VEGF-C binding key residues highlighted in sticks and labeled. (B) An overview of the VEGF-C/VEGFR-2D23 site 1 interface, with VEGF-C monomer A colored in green and VEGF-C residues at the interface labeled. VEGFR-2 charge distribution shown as a surface potential model. (C) The same as in (B) for the site 2 interface with VEGF-C monomer B in orange and the monomer 2 key residues labeled. (D) VEGF-C Asp123 interactions with VEGFR-2. Hydrogen bonds and salt bridges are shown in gray dashed lines. (E) VEGF-C Glu169 interactions with VEGFR-2 as in (D). (F) VEGF-C Thr148 and Asn149 interactions with VEGFR-2 as in (D).
