Figure 1 The deduced three-dimensional structure of actin-related proteins. The three-dimensional structures of isoforms of human Arp4 (Baf53b/ArpNα and Baf53a/ArpNβ) and human Arp6 were deduced with the program SWISS-Model,Citation121,Citation122 visualized with the program WebLab Viewer, and compared with that of rabbit skeletal muscle actin. The α- and β-specific regions and an Arp6-specific insertion are shown.
Figure 2 Roles of Arp6 in the local alteration of chromatin structure and the spatial organization of the nucleus. Arp6 has an essential function in chromatin remodeling through the deposition of H2A.Z by the SWR1 complex (lower chromatin). In addition, Arp6 has a role in the spatial arrangement of chromatin through its interaction with the myosin-like proteins Mlp1 and Mlp2 (upper chromatin). This function of Arp6 is independent of the SWR1 complex.
