Figure 6. Interactions of Phospho-Phosducin and G[t]α with G[t]βγ(A) Ribbon diagram of the phosducin/G[t]βγ complex where residues 67–86, which become disordered upon Ser-73 phosphorylation, are colored cyan. The N-terminal domain of phosducin is purple, with its 30-residue flexible loop in green. The C-terminal domain is blue. G[t]β is gold, and G[t]γ is silver.(B) The transducin heterotrimer ([14]) with G[t]α in red, the GDP in black, and G[t]βγ colored as in (A). Residues 67–86 in phosducin overlap the G[t]α-G[t]βγ interaction surface.(C) Ribbon diagram (stereo pair) of the phosducin/G[t]βγ interface near Helix 2. Residues involved in the interactions with phosducin segment from Arg-67 to Asp-86 are shown in ball-and-stick representations. Phosducin residues are labeled with purple or cyan symbols, and G[t]βγ residues with black symbols. The complex is viewed in the same “top” orientation in all three panels.
