Journal ArticleDOI

GTPase Cycle of Dynamin Is Coupled to Membrane Squeeze and Release, Leading to Spontaneous Fission

TL;DR: It is proposed that dynamin transmits GTP's energy to periodic assembling of a limited curvature scaffold that brings lipids to an unstable intermediate that is dependent on the curvature stress imposed by dynamin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of signal transduction by endocytosis.

TL;DR: There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that this process is much more sophisticated and that endocytic membrane trafficking regulates both the intensity of signaling and the co-localization of activated receptors with downstream signaling molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

The emergence of clathrin-independent pinocytic pathways

TL;DR: The selective regulation of these alternate endocytic pathways and the identification of receptors targeted to them provide new tools for the functional and mechanistic characterization of clathrin-independent pinocytosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

SH3-domain-containing proteins function at distinct steps in clathrin-coated vesicle formation.

TL;DR: The efficient reconstitution of ATP-, GTP-, cytosol- and dynamin-dependent formation of clathrin-coated vesicles in permeabilized 3T3-L1 cells is reported, suggesting that interactions between SH3 domains and their partners function sequentially in endocytic coated-vesicle formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

G domain dimerization controls dynamin's assembly-stimulated GTPase activity

TL;DR: The structure of the GTPase–GED fusion protein dimer provides insight into the mechanisms underlying dynamin-catalysed membrane fission and key conformational changes that promote G domain dimerization and stimulated hydrolysis.
