Cryo‐EM structures of perforin‐2 in isolation and assembled on a membrane suggest a mechanism for pore formation

Perforin‐2 (PFN2, MPEG1) is a key pore‐forming protein in mammalian innate immunity restricting intracellular bacteria proliferation. It forms a membrane‐bound pre‐pore complex that converts to a pore‐forming structure upon acidification; but its mechanism of conformational transition has been debat...
