Figure 3. Relationship between the Cofilin and Gelsolin Families(A) Superposition of the mean structures of destrin (black) and three members of the gelsolin family (red, gelsolin segment-1; green, villin segment-1; blue, severin segment-2). We used coordinates provided by [44], Model 1 in Protein Data Bank entry 1VIL ( [40]), and Protein Data Bank entry 1SVR ( [61]), respectively. The regions used for superposition are described in the text and also shown here in bold lines. Start and end residues of the regions are numbered.(B) Sequence alignments of destrin and gelsolin family members whose tertiary structures have been solved. Meaningful residues are colored (green, hydrophobic; red, acidic; blue, basic). Regular secondary structure elements are underlined and boxed by colors (yellow, α helix; light blue, β strand). The sequences of destrin and gelsolin segment-1 are numbered, and numbering of the latter is adjusted to the plasma-form corresponding to [44]. Regions used for the superposition in (A) are represented by dotted lines.
