Figure 4. (a) Surface representation of the FE65 WW bound to the Mn10 peptide (shown as a stick model). Semitransparent rectangles denote the parallel orientation of the XP and XP2 grooves. (b) A diagram of the FE65 WW bound to Mn10 PPII helix (shown as a triangular prism), illustrating the parallel arrangement of the XP and XP2 grooves, the three aromatic residues that form them, and the proline residues of the ligand that occupy them (orange spheres). Unbound proline and leucine residues are shown as gray and cyan spheres, respectively. (c) Surface representation of the FBP11 WW1 bound to PPLP sequence (PDB code 2DYF), showing the non-parallel arrangement of the XP and XP2 grooves (rectangles). (d) Surface representation of the Abl tyrosine kinase SH3 domain bound to the peptide 3BP1 containing the sequence PPLPP (PDB code 1ABO), showing the parallel XP and XP2 grooves (rectangles). (e) A stereo view of the FE65 WW–Mn10 structure superimposed on the Abl SH3–3BP1 complex, showing the similar mode of PPII recognition by the aromatic triad of WW (yellow) and SH3 (light green) domains. The Mn10 and 3BP1 peptides are shown in cyan and pink, respectively.
