Comparison with the binding site of a known peptide inhibitor. The structure of GPX4C66S–(S)-ML162 is shown superimposed onto that of GPX4U46C bound to a peptidic inhibitor (PDB entry 5h5s). For clarity only the peptide is shown for the latter, depicted with green C atoms. GPX4 is shown in surface representation, with the inhibitor (S)-ML162 with yellow C atoms, the surface of Sec46 colored red and the remaining residues of the catalytic triad in blue (Gln81), dark blue (Trp136) and purple (Asn137). (a) and (b) show two different orientations. |
