Figure 5.
FIGURE 5. Portions of the FERM kinase linker including the Src SH3 binding site and the Tyr397 autophosphorylation site are tethered across the surface of the F1 and F3 subdomains in the FAK405 structure. A, ribbon and transparent surface representation of the FAK FERM domain. The Src SH3 binding site is shown in green (residues 363-375) and the Tyr397-containing segment (residues 394-403) is colored in pink. B, detail of the interactions between the Src SH3-binding site and the surface of F3. Hydrogen bonds between the RXXPXXP motif (residues Arg368 to Pro374) and the F3 lobe are indicated by dashed lines and involve the side chains of Gln303 and Gln317 on the F3 lobe. C, details of the interaction between the FAK autophosphorylation Tyr397 segment and the F1 lobe. Hydrogen bonds are indicated with dashed lines and involve the side chains of Glu403 with His41 and Ser54 bonds. Tyr397 is surface exposed and not phosphorylated in the structure.
