Fig. 3. The suPAR-ATF binding surface. The carbon atoms of the D1 domain of uPAR are shown in orange, the D2 in magenta, and the D3 in orange. The ATF is shown in a ribbon diagram in cyan. (A) Molecular surface representation of the overall suPAR-ATF binding. The three uPAR domains form a conical cavity with a wide opening (25 Å) and large depth (14 Å) that are involved in the ATF binding. (B) Surface representation of the uPAR-ATF binding. The circled areas are regions 1 and 2 (from left to right) of uPAR-ATF interface. Oxygen atoms are shown in red, nitrogen atoms in blue, and sulfur in yellow. Waters involved in uPAR-ATF binding are shown as red spheres. Hydrogen bonds are shown as dashed lines (light blue). (C) Detailed interaction of suPAR (ribbon representation) and the ATF in stereoview. Thr8, Arg53, Glu68, Thr127, and His166 of suPAR form hydrogen bonds with Ser21, Lys23, Tyr24, Ser26, and Gln40 of ATF.
