Fig. 3. Structural basis of peptoid recognition. (A) Structure of wild-type Sos peptide (PPPVPPRRR) bound to Crk SH3 domain (20). Proline-rich core binding grooves are indicated by dashed boxes. Highly conserved surface residues among the four SH3 domains studied here (one or two conservative amino acid types) are green. Variable surface residues (3+ amino acid types) are brown. The ligand PXXP core binds at the most conserved surface on the protein. (B) Structure of peptide 34 bound to Crk SH3 domain. N-(S)-1-Phenylethyl peptoid side chain (orange) bound at site P[2]. Close-up view from the same perspective as above. (C) Structure of peptide 39 bound to the Sem5 SH3 domain. N-Cyclopropylmethyl peptoid side chain (orange) bound at site P[ 1]. Close-up view from the same perspective as above.
