FIGURE 3. Structural insights of the SP600125-binding site. A, detailed view of the structure of T686A-SP600125 complex, showing SP600125 bound in the ATP-binding site. The residues that interact with SP600125 are depicted as sticks. The 2F[o] - F[c] map around SP600125 is shown, contoured at 1.5 . B, surface representation (stereo view) of the inhibitor-binding site in Mps1 and JNK1 (PDB ID 1UKI [PDB] ) with SP600125 shown in yellow. Important differences in the composition and orientation of key residues (Mps1^Lys-553/JNK1^Lys-55, Mps1^Cys-604/JNK1^Leu-110, Mps1^Tyr-591/JNK1^Ile-106, Mps1^Tyr-568, Mps1^Glu-571, JNK1^Glu-73, JNK1^Met-77, Mps1^Met-602/JNK1^Met-108, and Mps1^Ile-663/JNK1^Leu-168) can be exploited for the rational design of Mps1-specific inhibitors. C, surface representation of the SP600125-binding site in human Mps1. A molecule of PEG from the crystallization solution is bound in a secondary pocket next to the catalytic Lys-553.
