The utrophin actin-binding domain binds F-actin in two different modes: implications for the spectrin superfamily of proteins

Utrophin, like its homologue dystrophin, forms a link between the actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. We have used a new method of image analysis to reconstruct actin filaments decorated with the actin-binding domain of utrophin, which contains two calponin homology domains. We find two...
