Figure 3. Interactions at the p21–PCNA Interface(a)
Schematic depiction of contacts between the peptide and PCNA.
Residues of the connector loop of PCNA are shaded green, those
of the C-terminus are in yellow, and other PCNA residues are in
pink. A set of two water-mediated contacts is also shown (blue
circles).(b) Hydrophobic interactions at the p21–PCNA
interface. A set of four side chains of the p21-peptide (red)
fit into hydrophobic cavities in the molecular surface of PCNA.
The C^α trace of PCNA is displayed as a green tube. PCNA
residues lining the pockets (shown in yellow) are: Cys-27,
Met-40, Val-45, Leu-47, Ala-67, Gly-69, Leu-121, Val-123,
Leu-126, Ile-128, Pro-129, 133-Tyr, Pro-234, Tyr-250, Ala-252,
Pro-253, and (in green) Gln-131, which contacts the hydroxyl of
the peptide tyrosine. This figure was generated using GRASP.
