| + | The N-terminal vinculin-homology 1 (VH1) domain of alpha-catenin facilitates two exclusive forms, a monomeric form directly bound to beta-catenin for linking E-cadherin to F-actin or a homodimer for the inhibition of beta-catenin binding. Competition of these two forms is affected by approximately 80 N-terminal residues, whose structure is poorly understood. We have determined the structure of the monomeric free form of the alphaN-catenin VH1 domain and revealed that the N-terminal residues form alpha1 and alpha2 helices to complete formation of the N-terminal four-helix bundle. Dynamic conformational changes of these two helices control formation of the beta-catenin-bound monomer or unbound homodimer. | ||
