Fig. 5. Docking of the C-terminal myosin helix into the hydrophobic groove of dynamin. (A) The structure of the dynamin 1-myosin fusion as solid cartoon with the dynamin 1 GTPase domain drawn in dark gray, the groove helices A and 5 in yellow and orange, respectively, and the myosin motor domain in blue. The structure of the dynamin A fusion is superimposed in transparent gray. Although the dynamin domains align well, the myosin motor domains adopt different conformations in the dynamin 1 and dynamin A fusion structures. (B) Schematic representation of the hydrophobic interactions (solid lines between the respective amino acid partners) between helices A (yellow box) and 5 (orange box) and the C-terminal myosin helix (blue box).
