Salt Bridge Formation between the I-BAR Domain and Lipids Increases Lipid Density and Membrane Curvature

Abstract The BAR domain superfamily proteins sense or induce curvature in membranes. The inverse-BAR domain (I-BAR) is a BAR domain that forms a straight “zeppelin-shaped” dimer. The mechanisms by which IRSp53 I-BAR binds to and deforms a lipid membrane are investigated here by all-atom molecular dy...
