Figure 3.
FIG. 3. Conformation of the proximal juxtamembrane region in IRK. Stereo views of the proximal juxtamembrane region and the N-terminal kinase lobe from the IRKD1132N structure (A) and the tris-phosphorylated IRKY984F structure (13) (B) are shown. The view is from above with respect to the view in Fig. 3. The juxtamembrane region is shown in ball-and-stick representation with carbon atoms colored orange, nitrogen atoms colored blue, and oxygen atoms colored red. The side chains of selected residues of the N-terminal kinase lobe are shown in ball- and-stick representation with carbon atoms colored gray, nitrogen atoms colored blue, and oxygen atoms colored red. Semi-transparent van der Waals' surfaces in A indicate hydrophobic packing of Tyr-984 with Leu-1045 and Val-1065. C, schematic diagram (approximate spatial layout) showing the invariant residues in the insulin receptor subfamily that form the Tyr-984 binding pocket. The residue labels are placed alongside the C atoms of the side chains. The backbone nitrogen atoms of Trp-989 and Ser-1067 are included as well as the carbonyl oxygen of nonconserved Val-985 (dark gray). Hydrogen bonds are depicted by dashed lines, and van der Waals' interactions (<3.8 Å) with Tyr-984 are depicted as concentric half-circles.
