Figure 4. Actin Binding by Destrin(A) Model of the complex of actin (green) and destrin (yellow) made from coordinates of the complex of actin and gelsolin segment-1 ([44]). Destrin is superposed on gelsolin segment-1, as shown in Figure 3A, and gelsolin segment-1 is hidden. The actin-binding helix is colored red.(B) Assumed actin-binding residues in destrin (top) and actual actin-binding residues in gelsolin segment-1 (bottom) elucidated by [44]. Destrin can be related to Figure 2 by 20° y rotation. The two molecules are oriented by the superposition described in Figure 3A. Molecular surfaces were produced using the program GRASP ( [51]) and colored according to amino acid residue type (yellow, hydrophobic; red, acidic; blue, basic; white, others) instead of usual surface electric potential.
