(C–D) The KANK KN domain binds to a novel site on talin R7. 1H,15N HSQC spectra of 150 µM 15N-labelled talin1 R7 (residues 1357–1659 ?1454–1586) in the absence (black) or presence of KANK1(30–68)C peptide (red) (top panel) or KANK1-4A (green) (bottom panel) at a ratio of 1:3. (D) Mapping of the KANK1 binding site on R7 as detected by NMR using weighted chemical shift differences (red) – mapped onto the R7-R8 structure in (B).

Ribbon representation of the KANK1 binding site, comprised of the hydrophobic groove between helices 29 and 36 of R7. Two bulky conserved residues, W1630 and Y1389 (blue) hold these two helices apart forming the binding interface. A small glycine side chain (G1404) creates a pocket between the helices. S1641 (magenta) has been shown previously to be a phosphorylation site (Ratnikov et al., 2005). The KN peptide (green) docked onto the KANK binding surface.
