Fig. 3. Structure of the PfMyoA-bound PfAct1 filament.

Fig. 3

a Atomic model of filamentous PfAct1 while bound to PfMyoA with root mean square differences to the bare PfAct1 filament structure mapped in thickness and color, from 0–2.5 Å. b The D-loop shows only minor structural differences in the bound (cyan) compared to the bare (chocolate red) filament (PDB code 5OGW; https://www.rcsb.org/structure/5OGW)11 with the largest difference occurring at residue E51. In the decorated filament, the conformation of the sidechain of E51 is reoriented in order to establish a polar contact of with S558 from the HTH of PfMyoA (dark blue). c The plug conformation is identical in both structures and the specific polar interactions are conserved. d Comparison of the normalized atomic temperature factors between the bound (left) and unbound (right) PfAct1structures. e Jasplakinolide (JAS) is well defined in the density map of the PfMyoA bound PfAct1 structure.
