| + | [[Vinculin|Vinculins]] (VCLs) are involved in adhesion by linking integrin molecules to the actin cytoskeleton. Its head domain (Vd1) can bind to [[Talin|talin]] or to [[Actinin|alpha-actinin]] at their respective VCL Binding Sites (VBS)<ref>PMID:11152287</ref>. The protein raver1 RNA Recognition Motif (RRM) forms a complex with VCL or m-VCL. '''Metavinculin''' (m-VCL) is a splice version of VCL containing an extra ca. 70 amino acids in the C-terminal domain. | ||

| - | + | <scene name='Sandbox_27/Role_i997_vinculin_head-tail_1/1'>Vinculin Autoinhibition</scene> is achieved through a high affinity intramolecular interaction between tail (orange) and head (aqua) domains ([[1st6]]). Energetically, I997 is key to maintaining this autoinhibition. | |
