Figure Lengend Snippet: Nucleotide-dependent binding of Irgb6 to PI5P-containing lipid monolayers. (A–J) Increased binding of Irgb6 to the lipid monolayers containing PI5P in the presence of GMP-PNP. Three μM Irgb6-WT was absorbed to the lipid monolayers without nucleotide (B, G) , or with 1 mM GMP-PNP (C, H) , GTP (D, I) or GDP (E, J) at room temperature for 3 h. TEM image of monolayer without Irgb6 is shown as a negative control (A, F) . TEM images taken at 300× (upper panels) or at 30000× (bottom panels) were shown. Note that binding of Irgb6-WT to monolayers was remarkedly increased in the presence of GMP-PNP (H) , and some appeared bulged (arrowheads in H ). Scale bar: 8.6 μm in upper panels (A–E) , 100 nm in bottom panels (F–J) . (K) Quantification of binding of Irgb6-WT to monolayers. Irgb6-WT on the lipid monolayers could be visible in negatively stained TEM images (512 x 512 pixel) taken as in (A–E) at low magnification. The area corresponding Irgb6-WT in TEM image was quantified using Image J from three to four independent grids. (***P < 0.0001). (L) Model for the molecular machinery of Irgb6 in PVM disruption. Recruitment of Irgb6 to the membrane leads to membrane deformation. The membrane binding is increased at GTP-binding state because of GTP-dependent polymerization of Irgb6. Dense packing of Irgb6 on lipid membrane results in the stimulation of GTPase activity, and upon GTP hydrolysis Irgb6 detaches from the membrane accompanying membrane damage.
