FIGURE 1.
(A) The structure of the Fascin-inhibitor complex. Junctions between β-trefoils 1 and 2, β-trefoils 1 and 4 contain two actin-binding sites respectively, and another actin-binding site locates on β-trefoils 3 (Figure 1A). (B) Inhibitor NP-G02-029 and the binding pocket. (C) Protein−NP-G2-029 interactions are represented by an asteroid plot. The inner ring represents direct interactions. The outer ring represents indirect interactions. The size of the ball is the interaction-number proportion in atomic scale. The colors of residues correspond to their secondary structures. (D) Secondary structure connection of Fascin. The bottom panel shows the secondary structure (β-sheets and α helixes) with their respective colors. Arrows stand for β-sheets, rectangles stand for α helix. N-ter, N terminus; C-ter, C terminus. PDB ID: 6B0T. Structure visualized by PyMOL (Rigsby and Parker, 2016).
