The long and short of membrane curvature sensing by septins

Septin proteins form hetero-oligomers that associate with membranes of specific curvatures, but the mechanism is unknown. In this issue, Cannon et al. (2019. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201807211) identify a single amphipathic helix that is necessary and sufficient for membrane curvature sensing by...

Zusammenfassung:	Septin proteins form hetero-oligomers that associate with membranes of specific curvatures, but the mechanism is unknown. In this issue, Cannon et al. (2019. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201807211) identify a single amphipathic helix that is necessary and sufficient for membrane curvature sensing by septins.
