This membrane-attack complex may destabilize cell membrane by generating pores in phospholipid bilayer.
The loops containing the NPA motif, located to the carboxy-terminal side of TM2 and TM5, respectively, overlap in the middle of the lipid bilayer ('hourglass' model) and form two hemipores that generate a narrow channel [ 15, 16, 17].
, to a membrane-localization tag) improve the function of mutant versions of Boi1-PH that are impaired in the ability to bind PIP 2 ? One possibility is that each of these mutant versions of Boi1 retains at least a slight affinity for PIP 2 and that the myristoyl group causes these mutant PH domains to be apposed close enough to the lipid bilayer to enable the residual PIP 2 -binding activity to now be sufficient for binding to PIP 2 . We speculate that, just as binding to PS may serve to position the PH domain of wild-type Boi1 near the plasma membrane in a manner that facilitates binding to PIP 2 , the myristoyl group may help to situate the PH domain of the mutant versions of Boi1-PH at the plasma membrane in a manner that facilitates binding to PIP 2 .
This lipid does not support the formation of closed bilayer vesicles, but rather forms micelles like a detergent.
In fact, if you take some cholesterol, or another lipid or lipidlike molecule, and dissolve it in water, bilayer membrane vesicles form spontaneously that are called liposomes.
