Figure 6.
Fig. 6. Ribbon drawing of the NMR reference structure of the complex between Pin1 WW domain (in light blue) and phosphopeptide ligand (in red), in comparison with the orientation of the CTD peptide (in violet) from the crystallographic model of the complex (13). The image was obtained by backbone superimposition of WW domains from our NMR complex and from the CTD peptide/Pin1 complex (13). Only the WW domain from this study and both phosphopeptide ligands are represented. Side chains implicated into the binding interface are labeled (in white for the WW domain residues and yellow for the ligand residues) and depicted in detail, as well as the amino acid pair Trp6-Pro32 of the WW domain. N atoms are blue and P atoms are violet. C atoms are green in the WW domain and orange in the tau ligand.
