Figure 5. The Interface Between the RGS-Box and C-Terminal Extension of PRG-rgRGS and Gα13
(A) The solvent accessible surface of Gα13 is colored as in Figure 1C, with residues contacting the rgRGS colored blue. The RGS-box and C-terminal extension is colored green, with elements contacting Gα13 colored red.
(B) Residues of Gα13 that contact PRG-rgRGS are colored according to electrostatic potential as in Figure 2A. Side chains from PRG-rgRGS that directly contact Gα13 are represented as ball-and-stick models. In addition to the αE helix, the α3-α4 and α10-α11 loops of PRG-rgRGS also directly contact the effector-binding site of Gα13.
(C) Differences at the effector-binding site on Gα13 upon binding to PRG-rgRGS (left) or p115-rgRGS (right). Residues directly involved in the rgRGS:Gα13 interface are represented as ball-and-stick models.
(D) Ribbon diagram depicting the interaction interface between switch II of Gα13 and the N-terminal and the RGS-box subdomains of PRG-rgRGS. Main chain and side chain atoms are represented as ball-and-stick models. Hydrogen bonds are drawn as dotted lines.
