Overall structure of cofilactin. a Cryo-EM map at a 3.8 Å resolution. The main chains of the cofilactin model are superimposed. One actin subunit, the other actin subunits and cofilins are presented in green, cyan and orange, respectively. The P-end is at the top. b Ribbon diagram of the cofilactin model with the same color scheme as in a. The viewing angle is also identical to a. The position of one missing region (41–49 of actin) is indicated by a dotted ellipse. Residues 40 and 50 of actin, the boundaries of the missing region, are presented by white spheres in the dotted ellipse. The N-termini of actin and cofilin, where some residues are missing, are indicated by arrows. c Cryo-EM map around ADP. The ADP and Mg2+ ions are indicated by arrows. d Cryo-EM map centered around actin residue 20
