  • The membrane attack complex is a heteromeric assembly of complement proteins where multiple copies of C9 are recruited by the C5b678 complex to form lytic pores in pathogen membranes. Here the authors present the structure of a soluble pore-like form of the C9 component that reveals details of the oligomerization interfaces.

  • Macrophage-expressed gene 1 (MPEG1) functions within the phagolysosome to damage engulfed microbes, presumably via forming pores in target membranes. In order to provide insights into the mechanism of MPEG1 function and membrane binding, the authors present structures of hexadecameric MPEG1 prepores both in solution and in complex with liposomes.
