The cryo-EM structure of the acid activatable pore-forming immune effector Macrophage-expressed gene 1
Macrophage-expressed gene 1 (MPEG1/Perforin-2) is a perforin-like protein that functions within the phagolysosome to damage engulfed microbes. MPEG1 is thought to form pores in target membranes, however, its mode of action remains unknown. We use cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) to determine the 2...
