Structural Basis of Membrane Invagination by F-BAR Domains
BAR superfamily domains shape membranes through poorly understood mechanisms. We solved structures of F-BAR modules bound to flat and curved bilayers using electron (cryo)microscopy. We show that membrane tubules form when F-BARs polymerize into helical coats that are held together by lateral and tip-to-tip interactions. On gel-state membranes or after mutation of residues along the lateral int...
متن کاملMembrane Curvature: How BAR Domains Bend Bilayers
An important new structure suggests the BAR domain is a membrane-binding module that can both produce and sense membrane curvature. BAR resembles a banana that binds membranes electrostatically through its positively charged, concave surface.
متن کاملThe PX-BAR membrane-remodeling unit of sorting nexin 9.
Sorting nexins (SNXs) form a family of proteins known to interact with components in the endosomal system and to regulate various steps of vesicle transport. Sorting nexin 9 (SNX9) is involved in the late stages of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in non-neuronal cells, where together with the GTPase dynamin, it participates in the formation and scission of the vesicle neck. We report here crystal...
متن کاملFour-scale description of membrane sculpting by BAR domains.
BAR domains are proteins that sense and sculpt curved membranes in cells, furnishing a relatively well-studied example of mechanisms employed in cellular morphogenesis. We report a computational study of membrane bending by BAR domains at four levels of resolution, described by 1), all-atom molecular dynamics; 2), residue-based coarse-graining (resolving single amino acids and lipid molecules);...
متن کاملMembrane-bending mechanism of amphiphysin N-BAR domains.
BAR domains are highly conserved protein domains participating in a diversity of cellular processes that involve membrane remodeling. The mechanisms underlying such remodeling are debated. For the relatively well-studied case of amphiphysin N-BAR domain, one suggested mechanism involves scaffolding, i.e., binding of a negatively charged membrane to the protein's positively charged curved surfac...
