The core protein factors for mitochondrial fission and fusion are dynamin proteins that possess membrane-remodeling properties. This short review covers a recent development and understanding of the mechanisms by which...

...Marcel Mettlen; Thomas Pucadyil; Rajesh Ramachandran; Sandra L. Schmid The GTPase dynamin is essential for CME (clathrin-mediated endocytosis), but its exact function and mechanism of action have been controversial. Here, we review findings that have led to the current models for dynamin function...

... in the cell cycle. The advent of proteomics and the introduction of stage-specific inhibitors have enabled the field to identify numerous factors required at distinct steps in the cell cycle. One such factor identified in many of these screens was the highly conserved protein dynamin. Dynamin, long known...

... and the GTPase dynamin, which ‘catalyses’ the budding of clathrin-coated vesicles (and other vesicles) from the plasma membrane. Internalization of the M 2 mAChR (which is highly structurally and functionally related to the M 4 receptor subtype) also requires dynamin, but proceeds in an apparent β-arrestin-, c...
