Figure 5.
FIGURE 5. Determinants of PDZ domain specificity. The structure of ZO1-PDZ1-YL is shown schematically and colored to highlight the functional elements involved in ligand recognition. The peptide ligand is colored green (core motif) and yellow (auxiliary motif). The PDZ domain functional elements are colored magenta (primary), red (secondary), and blue (tertiary). The spheres indicate key side chains of the PDZ domain that contribute to recognition of side chains within the core ligand motif.
