Figure 6. Structure of the P-LE/SGP-3 Complex and Binding Interactions Involving Tys Residues(A) Ribbon/stick representation of the P-LE/SGP-3 structure superimposed on the unliganded structure of P-LE. The unliganded structure of P-LE is shown in blue, complexed P-LE in purple, and SGP-3 in orange. The bound strontium ion in the P-LE/SGP-3 complex is directly superimposed over the calcium ion in unliganded P-LE and is shown as a green sphere. The MPD molecule that is found at the lectin-EGF domain interface in the P-LE/SGP-3 complex is shown in dark blue.(B) Stereo view of a close-up of P-LE/SGP-3 interactions in the region of Tys7 (in orange) illustrating the hydrogen bonding network with P-LE (purple). The sulfur atom in Tys7 is shown in yellow.(C) Stereo view of a close-up of the P-LE/SGP-3 interaction in the region of Tys10 and the Fuc binding site illustrating the change in conformation and binding contacts for the Asn83 to Asp89 loop within P-LE. Uncomplexed P-LE is shown in blue and P-LE complexed with SGP-3 is shown in purple. SGP-3 residues are shown in orange (the sulfur atom of Tys10 is in yellow) and the bound strontium ion is shown as a green sphere. The portion of SGP-3 omitted for clarity is shown as an orange ellipse.
