Advances in cryoEM and its impact on ?-pore forming proteins.


ABSTRACT: Deployed by both hosts and pathogens, ?-pore-forming proteins (?-PFPs) rupture membranes and lyse target cells. Soluble protein monomers oligomerize on the lipid bilayer where they undergo dramatic structural rearrangements, resulting in a transmembrane ?-barrel pore. Advances in electron cryo-microscopy (cryoEM) sample preparation, image detection, and computational algorithms have led to a number of recent structures that reveal a molecular mechanism of pore formation in atomic detail.
