Deskripsi

Curvature-mediating proteins are known to induce specific membrane shapes, but whether motorprotein-lipid interactions remodel membranes too remains unclear. Here authors show that curvature-dependent lipid interactions of myosin-VI remodel the membrane geometry into dynamic spatial patterns.
