Figure 3 Tetraproline region and PPII helix-binding site of VavS. (A) The ribbon diagram for VavS in the complex crystal is shown with the tetraproline region close to the viewer. Residues 606 -612 encompassing the tetraproline region, and the residues interacting with them or expected to form the PPII helix-binding site are drawn as rods in red and blue, respectively. (B) The molecular surface of VavS by GRASP (Nicholls et al., 1991) is colored according to the local electrostatic potential, with colors ranging from blue (positive) to red (negative) through white (neutral). The tetraproline region is drawn as red rods, and the peptide ligand for the Sem-5 SH3 domain is superposed on the molecular surface (yellow rods). The expected binding sites of VavS for the proline-rich peptide are labeled with their identification codes.
