Figure 3.
Fig. 3. Overlay of RedA, SphB, and KabC on actin. (A) RedA (green sticks) and SphB (cyan sticks) are shown superimposed in their actin-bound conformation on a surface drawing of actin. Common actin residue contacts are shown in salmon. Residues contacting RedA but not SphB are shown in yellow. Selected atoms and the lactone ring of each toxin have been labeled for reference. (B) RedA (green sticks) and KabC (yellow sticks) are shown superimposed in their actin-bound conformation. Residues that are common to the binding of both RedA and KabC are colored salmon. KabC atom numbers are given primes ('). The coordinates for KabC actin were obtained from Protein Data Bank entry 1QZ5 [PDB] . Toxins were superimposed on actin by using the program SUPERPOSE in CCP4.
