*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 ('bud') N-terminal to the standard PH domain fold. This bud forms two additional &beta; strands and one &alpha; helix and is an integral part of the overall fold. 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. The &alpha; helix packs against this newly formed six stranded &beta; sheet forming an additional <scene name='56/568020/Hydrophobic_core/1'>hydrophobic core</scene> outside of the standard PH domain fold. The bud binds to the &beta;1 - &beta;4 sheet by several additional hydrophobic contacts and buries more than 30% of the surface of the standard PH domain fold. <ref> PMC524332 </ref>
