Figure 4 Subdomain structures of the radixin FERM domain. The color codes used are light green for radixin subdomains, light blue for ubiquitin, yellow for acyl-coenzyme A binding protein, red for the PTB domain and orange for the PH domain. (A) Superimposition of radixin subdomain A on ubiquitin (PDB code 1UBI, blue). (B) Superimposition of radixin subdomain B on E.coli acyl-coenzyme A binding protein (yellow, 1ACA). (C) Superimposition of radixin subdomain C on the IRS-1 PTB domain (1QQG, red). (D) Superimposition of radixin subdomain C on the PH domain (1PLS, orange). (E) Comparison of the IP3-binding sites found in the radixin FERM domain (left), the phospholipase C 1 PH domain (middle) and the -spectrin PH domain (right). Two loops forming the binding site of each PH domain are colored in blue. The binding site of the radixin FERM domain is located at the basic cleft between subdomains A (a ubiquitin-like fold in light green) and C (a PTB-like fold in light blue) (see text). The N-terminal half of helix 1C of subdomain C and the protruding loop between strands 3A and 5A of subdomain A form the IP3-binding site of the radixin FERM domain and are colored in blue.
