Membrane-activity of the glycoprotein 41 membrane-proximal external region (MPER) is required for HIV-1 membrane fusion. Consequently, its inhibition results in viral neutralization by the antibody 4E10. Previous studies suggested that MPER might act during fusion by locally perturbing the viral membrane, i.e., following a mechanism similar to that proposed for certain antimicrobial peptides. Here, we explore the molecular mechanism of how MPER permeates lipid monolayers containing cholesterol, a main component of the viral envelope, using grazing incidence X-ray diffraction and X-ray reflectivity. Our studies reveal that helical MPER forms lytic pores under conditions not affecting the lateral packing order of lipids. Moreover, we observe an increment of the surface area occupied by MPER helices in cholesterol-enriched membranes, which correlates with an enhancement of the 4E10 epitope accessibility in lipid vesicles. Thus, our data support the view that curvature generation by MPER hydrophobic insertion into the viral membrane is functionally more relevant than lipid packing disruption.
