Abstract
BAR domains bend membranes by imposing their curved shape. In this issue, Isas et al. show the structural differences in the interaction of the BAR domain protein amphiphysin with vesicles and tubes. They find that superficial interactions lead to vesicles, whereas more penetrating interactions of a more crowded protein lead to tubes.Mesh:
