Figure 1.
Figure 1. NMR structures of the cis and trans Itk SH2 conformers. a, Stereo view of 20 low energy structures of the cis (coral) and trans (turquoise) conformations of the Itk SH2 domain. Backbone heavy atoms within the secondary structural elements over the entire sequence were used for superpositions. b, Ribbon diagrams of the energy minimized average structures of the cis (left) and trans (right) conformers. Secondary structural elements and ligand-binding pockets are labeled in (a,b) according to standard nomenclature for SH2 domains8. Pro 287 is labeled in each structure. c, Sequence of the Itk SH2 domain and sequence alignment of the CD loop regions in the SH2 domains of several tyrosine kinases. The residues that give rise to nondegenerate chemical shifts2 are bold and underlined, and Pro 287 is labeled. d, Solvent-accessible surface plot of the cis conformer. The residues that give rise to dual resonances because of Pro cis-trans isomerization are highlighted in white. The trans conformer shows a similar contiguous surface for the heterogeneous residues (data not shown). e, Overlay of the energy minimized average structures of the cis (coral) and trans (turquoise) conformers. Expanded views of the CD loop (left), the central -sheet (right) and the BG loop regions (middle) are shown. All structures are rendered using MolMol31.
