Figure 3. Conformational Changes Induced within the DH/PH Domains of Dbs upon Binding a GTPaseThe structure of Dbs·RhoA (transparent) was superimposed on the GTPase-free form of Dbs (molecule B) using DH domain residues. Significant interactions between RhoA and the b3/b4 loop as well as a6 serve to reduce the conformational heterogeneity between DH and PH domains and result in the ordering of the b3/b4 loop and the tilting of the PH domain toward the GTPase.
