Motility Determinants in WASP Family ProteinsD⃞

Yarar, Defne, D'Alessio, Joseph A., Jeng, Robert L., Welch, Matthew D.

In response to upstream signals, proteins in the Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASP) family regulate actin nucleation via the Arp2/3 complex. Despite intensive study of the function of WASP...

An Assembly-incompetent Mutant Establishes a Requirement for Dynamin Self-assembly in Clathrin-mediated Endocytosis In VivoV⃞

Song, Byeong Doo, Yarar, Defne, Schmid, Sandra L.

Dynamin GTPase activity is required for its biological function in clathrin-mediated endocytosis; however, the role of self-assembly has not been unambiguously established. Indeed, overexpression of...
