FIGURE 5. Structure of ZO2-PDZ2. A, backbone overlay of 20 NMR structures with the lowest energy from the final CNS v1.1 calculation. This figure was produced with MOLMOL. B, a ribbon representation of the energy-minimized average structure with the secondary structure elements labeled. This figure was produced with PyMOL (W. L. DeLano (2002) PyMOL, DeLano Scientific, San Carlos, CA); for clarity, the two chains A and B are colored in green and cyan, with their N and C termini labeled with N[A], C[A], N[B], and C[B], respectively. C, comparison of the three-dimensional structure of the GRIP2PDZ3 monomer (PDB entry: 1V62) to that of one subunit in the ZO2-PDZ2 homodimer. The backbones of some secondary structured regions of the GRIP2PDZ3 monomer (yellow, 1, 2, β3, β4, β5, and β6) and a subunit of the ZO2-PDZ2 homodimer (green, 1, 2, β2b, β3, β4, and β5) are superimposed to each other. This figure was produced with PyMOL. D, sequence alignment of the second PDZ domains of ZO proteins, GRIP2PDZ3, GRIP1PDZ6, and Shank1PDZ. The sequences were aligned using the program ESPript (Easy Sequencing in PostScript) (42). Residues identical in all sequences are colored white in the red column; conserved residues are colored red, whereas the others are in black. Secondary structure elements for ZO2-PDZ2 and Shank1PDZ are shown above or below the sequences, respectively, with helices as squiggles, strands as arrows, and turns as TT.
