From: Head-neck domain of Arabidopsis myosin XI, MYA2, fused with GFP produces F-actin patterns that coincide with fast organelle streaming in different plant cells

Figure 7

Comparison of several potential actin-binding sites and the TEDS site on myosin heads. Alignment of deduced amino acid sequences of myosin class XI of Arabidopsis, DdMyoJ and muscle myosin GgFSk. (A) Surface loop 2 involved in the binding of the first actin monomer. (B) Region suggested for binding the second actin. (C) Region that mediates the major contact during primary actin-binding. (D) TEDS rule site with glutamic acid (blue shaded) and, close to it, threonine (green shaded). At Arabidopsis thaliana, Dd Dictyostelium discoideum, Gg Gallus gallus. Conserved amino acids are red shaded. DdMyoJ was excluded from the alignment in (A). Surface loops according to Schröder et al. [45]. In each sequence, the position of the last amino acid residue is indicated (aa).
