Crystal structure of Human Filamin A complex with phosphate, 3hop

  • Filamin A (FLNA) has an actin-binding domain (ABD). It crosslinks actin filaments and participates in anchoring of membrane proteins.
  • Filamin B (FLNB) is a human cytoplasmic protein which functions similarly to FLNA and guides proper skeletal development.
  • Filamin C (FLNC) is functionally similar and contains 3 domains: the N-terminal ABD, the C-terminal dimerization domain (DD) and a membrane glycoprotein-binding domain.

For more details on filaminC see Group:MUZIC:FilaminC. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative filamin structure, i.e. the crystal structure of human filamin A (3hop), it forms a [1]. Two phosphate ions are rendered as space filling objects.
