Figure 1. Structures of KAP and PTP1B(A) Stereo view showing a 2F[o]-F[c] electron density omit map contoured at 1σ in the vicinity of the catalytic Cys residue (Cys-140) of wild-type KAP revealing the formation of a disulphide bond to Cys-79.(B) Ribbon diagram comparing KAPt with PTP1B. The PTP loop of both molecules is shown in yellow, the acid/base loop (WPD loop) in red, and the Q loop in white. The pTyr recognition segment of PTP1B is in green. A sulfate ion and pTyr residue are shown at the catalytic sites of KAPt and PTP1B, respectively. Figures were created using AESOP (M. E. M. N., unpublished data), BOBSCRIPT (Esnouf, 1997), and Raster3D (Merit and Murphy, 1994)
