Figure 6.
DFG-out conformation in PYK2. A, conformational change for the DFG motif upon binding of BIRB796. DFG-in motif in Apo structure is shown in purple and the DFG-out conformation in green. B, superposition of the structures of the PYK2: BIRB796 complex (green) from p38: BIRB796 complex (orange) showing significant differences represented by arrows. C, stereoview showing the DFG-out binding sites of Imatinib from Abl (yellow), Sorafenib from B-RAF (gray), and BIRB796 from PYK2 (cyan) with corresponding gatekeeper residues. D, β-turn conformation in the hinge region with hydrogen bonds in dashes; Apo structure (pink), PYK2:BIRB796 complex (cyan), and PYK2:PF-4618433 (green).
