This study shows how PspA rods thin lipid tubules by inducing membrane curvature through N-terminal helix 0 interactions, overcoming bending energy via molecular mechanisms.

This study presents cryo-EM structures of Vipp1 interacting with bacterial membranes, revealing curvature-dependent structural transitions and membrane remodeling mechanisms.

The paper determines cryo-EM structures of PspA rods and shows how structural plasticity is mediated by conformational changes and protomer contacts.
