FIGURE 7:

Actin sequence variation near the FH2/actin interface. The Bni1 FH2 domain (blue)/ Oryctolagus cunniculus α-actin (gray) cocrystal structure (1Y64) provides a model for how actin sequence variation may determine formin interactions. Of the 11 nonconservative mutations between human β-actin and O. cunninculus α-actin, three residues (Thr5, Thr6, and Asn225) are within 6 Å of the FH2 domain. They are highlighted with red spheres. The N-terminal Thr residues are positioned to make van der Waals contacts with the FH2 linker region.
