Figure 7.
Figure 7 Role of the electrostatic effect in the mGluR C-terminus/Tamalin PDZ domain interaction. Overall structure (A) and a close-up view (B) of the Tamalin PDZ-mGluR5 C-terminus complex. (A) The orientation of the PDZ dimers in the side view is identical to that in Figure 4A. (C) Electrostatic surface potential from approximately -10k[B] T^-1 (red) to +10k[B] T^-1 (blue). The negative charge of Glu114, which may contribute to the electrostatic interaction with mGluR5, is indicated by an arrow. (D) SPR analyses of the binding of the mGluRs and Tamalin C-termini to the Glu114Lys PDZ mutant.
