Figure 1. The profilin ligands used in the current study. (a) A diagram of the structures of the profilin 2a ligands, mDia1 and VASP. For mDia1, the domains are as follows: GBD, Rho-GTPase-binding domain; DID, diaphanous inhibitory domain; DD, dimerisation domain; CC, coiled-coil domain; FH1, formin homology domain 1; FH2, formin homology domain 2; DAD, diaphanous autoinhibitory domain. The regions N-terminal to the FH1 domain have been referred to in the literature as the FH3 domain. For VASP, the EVH1 domain, the proline-rich domain, and the EVH2 domain are indicated. The EVH2 domain contains a WH2 domain (dark grey), an F-actin binding domain (light grey), and a tetramerisation domain (white). The sequences of the peptides used in this study are shown below the profilin-binding domains. (b) The sequence of the FH1 domain of mDia1, which has 13 highly homologous proline-rich repeats arranged in tandem. The peptide used in this study, containing two binding motifs, is underlined.
