Figure 2.
Figure 2. Schematic diagram and surface structure of the Abl SH3–SH2 regulatory region. (a) Richardson diagram of the Abl SH3–SH2 protein showing the relative positions of the SH3 and SH2 domains in one molecule. The SH2 domain is at the top of the figure and the SH3 domain at the bottom. In the SH2 domain the β strands are shown in red and the α helices in green; in the SH3 domain the β strands are in yellow. The secondary structure elements are numbered according to the convention of Eck, et al. [31] with individual residues identified by their position within each element or connecting loop; this numbering is used throughout. (The figure was made with the program MOLSCRIPT [51].) (b) The molecular surface of the Abl SH3–SH2 structure. The surface is colored according to the local electrostatic potential, ranging from blue (the most positive region) to red (the most negative). The putative phosphotyrosine-binding pocket and a hydrophobic (pTyr + 3 pocket are indicated. Important residues for the ligand binding of the SH3 domain are also indicated. Figure 2.
