Figure 3.
Model of the LCBD of myosin V. The light chains, which can be either CaM or CaM-related molecules such as Mlc1p are colored cyan (N-lobes) and magenta (C-lobes), and the six-IQ fragment of the heavy chain is colored green. The LCBD of myosin V can be conceptually subdivided into three semiindependent pairs of IQ motifs, with little or no interactions between pairs. The linkers between neighboring IQ pairs are 14 aa long, whereas the linkers between IQs in a pair are 12 aa long. An enlargement illustrates the interaction between light chains in a pair.
