Journal ArticleDOI

Nature of curvature coupling of amphiphysin with membranes depends on its bound density

TL;DR: The approach shows that the strength of curvature sensing and mechanical effects on the tube depends on the protein density, and the distribution of proteins and the mechanical effects induced are described by a model based on spontaneous curvature induction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoplasmonic Sensor Detects Preferential Binding of IRSp53 to Negative Membrane Curvature.

TL;DR: This work shows the first example of analyzing preferential binding of an average-sized and biologically important protein to negative membrane curvature in a label-free manner and in real-time, illustrating a unique application for nanoplasmonic sensors.
Journal ArticleDOI

IRSp53 senses negative membrane curvature and phase separates along membrane tubules

TL;DR: An original assay in which proteins are encapsulated in giant unilamellar vesicles connected to membrane nanotubes is developed, demonstrating that I-BAR dimers sense negative membrane curvature and allows constriction of weakly curved membranes coupled to local protein enrichment at biologically relevant conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A balance between membrane elasticity and polymerization energy sets the shape of spherical clathrin coats.

TL;DR: The results show that membrane tension controls clathrin-mediated budding by varying the membrane budding energy, and the theoretical framework is used to estimate the polymerization energy from these data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane Shape at the Edge of the Dynamin Helix Sets Location and Duration of the Fission Reaction

TL;DR: It is shown that fission occurs at the interface between the dynamin coat and the uncoated membrane, and that the mechanical energy spent on dynamin constriction can reduce the energy barrier for fission sufficiently to promote spontaneous fission.
