PMID: 31962345
Clathrin-coated vesicles lose their clathrin lattice within seconds of pinching off, through the action of the Hsc70 "uncoating ATPase." The J- and PTEN-like domain-containing proteins, auxilin 1 (Aux1) and auxilin...

. 2018 Aug;
1847:121-146.
PMID: 30129014
The disassembly of the clathrin lattice surrounding coated vesicles is the obligatory last step in their life cycle. It is mediated by the coordinated recruitment of auxilin and Hsc70, an...

PMID: 29236694
Vesicular carriers transport proteins and lipids from one organelle to another, recognizing specific identifiers for the donor and acceptor membranes. Two important identifiers are phosphoinositides and GTP-bound GTPases, which provide...

PMID: 24568626
Endophilin A1 is a homodimeric membrane-binding endocytic accessory protein with a high dimerization affinity. Its function has been hypothesized to involve autoinhibition. However, the autoinhibition mechanism, as well as the...

PMID: 23772271
Biological membrane functions are coupled to membrane curvature, the regulation of which often involves membrane-associated proteins. The membrane-binding N-terminal amphipathic helix-containing BIN/Amphiphysin/Rvs (N-BAR) domain of amphiphysin is implicated in curvature...

PMID: 23482561
The recruitment to plasma membrane invaginations of the protein endophilin is a temporally regulated step in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Endophilin is believed to sense or stabilize membrane curvature, which in turn...
