Structured clustering of the glycosphingolipid GM1 is required for membrane curvature induced by cholera toxin
2020-01-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> AB 5 bacterial toxins and polyomaviruses induce membrane curvature as a mechanism to facilitate their entry into host cells. How membrane bending is accomplished is not yet fully understood but has been linked to the simultaneous binding of the pentameric B-subunit to multiple copies of their glycosphingolipid receptors. Here, we probe the toxin membrane binding and internalization mechanisms b...
