Figure 3. Comparison of PLCg1-SH3 in free and SLP-76-bound forms. (a) Superposition of the polypeptide chain of unbound PLCg1-SH3 (gold) onto that of PLCg1-SH3 in the PLCg1-SH3/SLP-76 complex (cyan). The SLP-76 peptide is drawn in ball-and-stick representation. The arrow points to the region where the two structures deviate most. (b) Close-up view of the rearrangement of the n-Src loop of PLCg1-SH3 following peptide binding. Glycine residues are represented by their carbonyl oxygen atoms. (c) Adjustments in the PLCg1-SH3 binding site upon ligation of SLP-76 peptide. Free PLCg1-SH3 was superposed on SLP-76-bound PLCg1-SH3. The view is looking down on the binding groove. The SLP-76 peptide and the rest of the SH3 structure are omitted for clarity. Only residues contacting the ligand are shown. Glycine residues are represented by their carbonyl oxygen atoms. Dual conformations were observed for the side-chains Gln805 and Arg806 in the PLCg1-SH3/SLP-76 complex.
