Membrane fusogenic activity BMFP consists of two structural domains, a coiled-coil C-terminal domain via which the protein self-associates as a trimer, and an N-terminal domain disordered at neutral pH but adopting an amphipathic alpha-helical structure in the presence of phospholipid vesicles, high ionic strength, acidic pH or SDS. BMFP interacts with phospholipid vesicles though the predicted amphipathic alpha-helix induced in the N-terminal half of the protein and promotes aggregation and fusion of vesicles in vitro. |
