Figure 6.
Figure 6 Interaction surface between activin and Fs12 and ActRIIB. Comparison of activin binding by Fs12 and the extracellular domain of the type II activin receptor (Greenwald et al, 2004; PDB:1s4y). Activin protomers are shown as molecular surfaces (orange and red), and the two Fs12 molecules (A, blue Fs1 and green Fs2) and two type II receptor domains (B, blue and green) are shown as ribbon diagrams. The activin surface is coloured dark grey over atoms that are closer than 4 Å from the interacting protein. Water molecules sandwiched between the two proteins are shown as light blue spheres. Both complexes are shown in the same orientation for the orange activin A protomer.
