The cryo-EM structure of the acid activatable pore-forming immune effector Macrophage-expressed gene 1

Macrophage-expressed gene 1 (MPEG1) functions within the phagolysosome to damage engulfed microbes, presumably via forming pores in target membranes. In order to provide insights into the mechanism of MPEG1 function and membrane binding, the authors present structures of hexadecameric MPEG1 prepores...
