Fig 4. Interfacial interactions between CN and immunophilins-immunosuppressants. CNA and CNB are shown as yellow and cyan ribbons. (A) The CN composite surface for CyPA-CsA binding. A total of 25 residues of CN are involved in interaction with CyPA-CsA: Arg-122, Tyr-159, Phe-160, Leu-312, Val-314, Tyr-315, Tyr-341, Trp-342, Pro-344, Asn-345, Trp-352, Ser-353, Pro-355, Phe-356, and Glu-359 of CNA, and Glu-47, Gln-50, Met-118, Val-119, Asn-122, Leu-123, Lys-124, and Lys-164 of CNB. Red balls represent residues interacting with CyPA and green balls represent residues interacting with CsA (green sticks). The residues from CNB are marked with the letter "B" attached to the residue number. (B) The CN surface for binding of CyPA-CsA and FKBP12-FK506. CN residues in red interact with both CyPA-CsA and FKBP12-FK506. Green residues are unique for CyPA-CsA binding and blue residues are unique for FKBP-FK506. CsA and FK506 are shown as green and blue sticks. (C) CyPA residues for recognition of CN (gold) and CsA (blue). CsA is shown in green sticks.
