Description
The structure contains a calcium ion and ATP within a closed nucleotide-binding cleft, and the D-loop is disordered. This native G-actin structure invites comparison with the current F-actin model in order to understand the structural implications for actin polymerization. In particular, this analysis suggests a mechanism by which the bound cation coordinates conformational change and ATP-hydrolysis.
