Lipid binding promotes the open conformation and tumor-suppressive activity of neurofibromin 2

Neurofibromin 2 (NF2) is a tumour suppressor that inhibits cell growth. Here the authors combine functional, biochemical, and structural studies and show that lipid-bound NF2 adopts an open conformation and that NF2 lipid binding is required for inhibition of cell proliferation.
