BINDING OF A HIGH AFFINITY PHOSPHOTYROSYL PEPTIDE TO THE SRC SH2 DOMAIN: CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF THE COMPLEXED AND PEPTIDE-FREE FORMS
Overview
The crystal structure of the Src SH2 domain complexed with a high affinity, 11-residue phosphopeptide has been determined at 2.7 A resolution by X-ray, diffraction. The peptide binds in an extended conformation and makes, primary interactions with the SH2 domain at six central residues:, PQ(pY)EEI. The phosphotyrosine and the isoleucine are tightly bound by two, well-defined pockets on the protein surface, resulting in a complex that, resembles a two-pronged plug engaging a two-holed socket. The glutamate, residues are in solvent-exposed environments in the vicinity of basic side, chains of the SH2 domain, and the two N-terminal residues cap the, phosphotyrosine-binding site. The crystal structure of Src SH2 in the, absence of peptide has been determined at 2.5 A resolution, and comparison, with the structure of the high affinity complex reveals only localized and, relatively small changes.
