Schematic and experimental illustration of liposome flattening on SLBs (both grey) facilitated by MinD (magenta) membrane binding. MinD-ATP addition brings the liposomes close to the SLBs (top; the rows show snapshots with increasing time; the interaction is indicated by magenta curves), allowing the lipid membranes to adhere (centre; chain symbols). MinD proteins are excluded from the liposome-SLB contact areas (bottom). Fluorescence snapshots show MinD (magenta) and liposome membrane (grey) at the subsequent stages of liposome attachment.
