Fig. 2. Binding of the H^+-ATPase phosphopeptide QSYpTV and cotylenin A to the amphipathic groove of 14-3-3. (a) Cotylenin A (yellow, sticks and semi-transparent surface) and the H^+-ATPase phosphopeptide QSYpTV (light blue, sticks and semi-transparent surface) are occupying the entire length of the amphipathic groove of 14-3-3 (sand surface), the extreme C-terminal Val956 of the peptide displays a hydrophobic contact to the tricarbon cycle of the cotylenin molecule. (b) Stereo view of the electron density for cotylenin A bound to 14-3-3 and the C-terminal tail of the H^+-ATPase peptide (QSYpTV-COOH). The peptide and cotylenin A are drawn in ball-and-stick mode, 14-3-3 is displayed as a ribbon (color coding as in a). An omit electron density map of cotylenin A (contoured at 3 σ) is shown in black. (c) Stereo view of a structural overlay of the position of the diterpene molecules and the H^+-ATPase phosphopeptide in the 14-3-3 complex structure with fusicoccin A (blue and magenta, respectively, PDB code 1O9F) and with cotylenin A (yellow and cyan, respectively).
