We show that the essential protein P116 can transport lipids between liposomes independently and without adenosine 5'-triphosphate consumption. Our structural data and molecular dynamics simulations reveal the mechanism by which the amino-terminal region of P116 perturbs the membrane, the lipid transfer route, and the regulation of membrane binding by the cargo mass within P116's large hydrophobic cavity. When adequately filled with cargo, P116 undergoes a rapid conformational change that modulates membrane binding. Together, our results show that developed an integrated lipid uptake and delivery machinery that simplifies the complex multiprotein pathways used by higher developed organisms. |
