Figure 1. Crystal Structure of SOCS3Δ in Complex with the gp130(pTyr757) Phosphopeptide
(A) Ribbon diagram of SOCS3Δ with the bound gp130 phosphopeptide shown in stick representation. The secondary structural elements for the SH2 domain are labeled; α helices are colored purple, β strands are colored cyan, and loops are colored gray. Carbon atoms in the gp130 phosphopeptide are colored yellow, oxygen atoms are red, nitrogen atoms are blue, and the phosphate atom is black. The gray spheres represent disordered residues in the BG loop. The N and C termini for the SH2 domain and the phosphopeptide are indicated by N and C, respectively, in gray (SOCS3Δ) and yellow (gp130). The right panel is a view from 90° as indicated; the EF and BG loops are labeled, and the side chain of Tyr31 (on edge) of the kinase inhibitory region is shown. This panel and Figures 2A, 2B, 3B, and 3C were rendered with PyMOL (http://pymol.sourceforge.net).
(B) Molecular surface representation of SOCS3Δ colored according to electrostatic potential (blue, positive [+10 kT]; white, neutral; red, negative [−10 kT]). Residues of the gp130 phosphopeptide are labeled relative to pTyr757 (P). The course of the EF loop in the SH2 domain is shown in gray. This panel was rendered with GRASP (Nicholls et al., 1991).
