Cryo-EM structures of perforin-2 in isolation and assembled on a membrane suggest a mechanism for pore formation
<p>Perforin-2 (PFN2, MPEG1) is a key pore-forming protein in mammalian innate immunity restricting intracellular bacteria proliferation. It forms a membrane-bound pre-pore complex that converts to a pore-forming structure upon acidification; but its mechanism of conformational transition has b...
