The location of the binding of FKBP - FK506 and a description of the binding interactions is given. A mechanism of inhibition by FKBP-FK506 involving steric hindrance is proposed. Phosphate is bound at the active site. The roles of active site residues and the possible catalytic mechanism are presented.

Crystal structures of human calcineurin and the human FKBP12 - FK506-calcineurin complex. of outstanding interest Nature. 378:1995;641-644 The structure, at 2.1 Å resolution, of full-length human calcineurin is reported. The autoinhibitory sequence is bound at the active site but does not appear to mimic the interactions of a substrate. A large part of the carboxy-terminal portion of the protein, including the calmodulin-binding domain, is disordered. The complex of full-length calcineurin with FKBP - FK506 shows that the autoinhibitory segment is displaced from the active site. The structural basis for noncompetitive inhibition by FKBP - FK506 is discussed.
