Figure 3.
FIG. 3. Ligand interactions with the hinge region: comparison with PKA. Structures of Pim-1 and PKA bound to staurosporine and adenosine were aligned to optimize the superposition of residues adjacent to the hinge regions. The Pim-1 structure is colored by atom type and labeled in black, and PKA is drawn and labeled in pink. Hydrogen bonds are depicted as green dotted lines. The view is rotated 90° from Fig. 2. In this orientation, the glycine-rich loop lies above and in the plane of the page. A, the structures of the PKA·staurosporine (Protein Data Bank code 1STC [PDB] ) and Pim-1·staurosporine complexes. B, Pim-1·adenosine and PKA complexes (Protein Data Bank code 1FMO [PDB] ). C, sequence alignments of hinge regions. Residues that accept and donate hydrogen bonds to the adenine ring of ATP are highlighted in red and blue, respectively.
