Figure 1.
Structure of the talin 1655–1822 rod domain. A, schematic representation of the domain structure of talin indicating the relative position of the ligand binding sites and the boundaries of the various head and rod domains. B, sequence alignment of human talin1 residues 1655–1822 with the corresponding regions of other talins. C, superimposition of the 20 lowest energy structures consistent with the NMR data. Only the structured region of 1655–1822 is shown, not the disordered N terminus. D, ribbon drawing of a representative low energy structure showing the overall topology of the five-helix bundle. E, map of the surface charge of the domain.
