Structural aspects of actin-binding proteins.
The three-dimensional structures of myosin subfragment 1 (S1), gelsolin segment 1 complexed with alpha-actin, villin fragment 14T, Acanthamoeba profilin-I, and bovine profilin complexed with beta-actin were completed last year. Together, they expand our understanding of the structural organization of actin-binding proteins. In addition, the segment 1 and bovine profilin complexes provide atomic-level descriptions of their interfaces with actin.
