1w1h is a 4 chain structure of the human pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of the 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1), which plays a various role in PI3K signaling pathways.

The PH domain of PDK1 reveals a structural variation of a standard PH domain fold with an additional bud at the N-terminus.
The PH domain of PDK1 reveals a structural variation of a standard PH domain fold with an additional 'bud' at the N-terminus.
Connsidering the structure, several different sections can be found which explain altogether the function of the PH domain.
 
One section is a <scene name='56/568020/Barrel-like/3'>barrel-like structure</scene> formed by residues 456-530 (only shown on chain D). This structure is formed by two, almost orthogonal, &beta; sheets, one consisting of four (&beta;1 - &beta;4) and one of three (&beta;5 - &beta;7) stand.
The standard PH domain fold consists of mainly three different sections:
One side of the barrel is blocked by a <scene name='56/568020/Alpha1/1'>C-terminal alpha helix</scene>.

*On the other side of the barrel three variable loops (VL 1-3) form a bowl-like structure which is lined by positively charged residues, consituting the phosphoinositide-binding site.
 
The PH domain of PDK1 possesses an additional extension N-terminal to the standard PH domain fold. This 'bud' forms two additional &beta; strands and one &alpha; helix. The two &beta; strands &beta;1' and &beta;2'extend the &beta;1 - &beta;4 sheet in an antiparallel fashion through the formation of &beta; sheet hydrogen bonds between &beta;2'and &beta;1.
