Topological rearrangements of biological membranes, such as fusion and fission, often require a sophisticated interplay between different proteins cellular membranes. However, in the case enveloped viruses, even one molecule can execute membrane restructurings. Growing evidence indicates that matrix viruses solely trigger bending required for another crucial step virogenesis, budding progeny virions. For influenza A virus protein M1, studies report both favor against M1 being able to produce...
Membrane nanotubes (NTs) and their networks play an important role in intracellular membrane transport intercellular communications. The characteristics of the NT lumen resemble those conventional solid-state nanopores. However, unlike rigid pores, soft wall can be deformed by forces driving through lumen. This intrinsic coupling between geometry properties remains poorly explored. Using synchronized fluorescence microscopy conductance measurements, we revealed that shape was changed both...
