Structural model of converter mutations in myosin V. A, diagram of the domain structure of myosin and the movement of the lever arm in the pre- and post-power–stroke states (L50, lower 50-kDa domain; U50, upper 50-kDa domain; CNV, converter domain; NT, N-terminal domain). B, an alignment of pre- and post-power–stroke state crystal structures showing the conformational change of the converter/lever arm. Navy, pre-power–stroke state structure (PDB code 1BR4); orange, post-power–stroke state structure (PDB code 1OE9); beige, light chain; green, converter domain.
