Apicomplexan actin-regulatory proteins. (a) P. falciparum profilin (PDB entry 2jkg ; Kursula, Kursula, Ganter et al., 2008BB60). The Apicomplexa-specific region is indicated in blue. (b) Cryptosporidium parvum CAP (PDB entry 2b0r ; Hliscs et al., 2010BB49). The two monomers of the dimer are shown in blue and grey. (c) P. falciparum ADF1 (PDB entry 2xf1 ; Singh et al., 2011BB105; red) and P. berghei ADF2 (PDB entry 2xfa ; Singh et al., 2011BB105; turquoise). The very short F-loop of ADF1 is indicated in yellow. (d) Mus musculus mDia1 FH2 domain crystal structure (PDB entry 1v9d ; Shimada et al., 2004BB104), with a schematic view of the domain architecture of Plasmodium formins 1 and 2. The FH1 domain of formin 1 is indicated with a dashed line to denote its putative nature. (e) T. gondii coronin WD40 domain (PDB entry 4ozu ; Salamun et al., 2014BB96) and a SAXS model (Salamun et al., 2014BB96) of the full-length protein, with green indicating the location of the WD40 domains in the dimer. The β-propeller blades are numbered from the N-terminus to the C-terminus. (f) Homology models of the P. falciparum CP α- and β-subunits based on the structure of Gallus gallus CapZ (PDB entry 1izn ; Yamashita et al., 2003BB121). The 23-residue insertion in the α-subunit (*) and the extended β-tentacle region are indicated in blue.
