Molecular mechanisms in clathrin-mediated membrane budding
Clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) form at the plasma membrane where they select cargo for endocytic entry into cells. CCVs also form at the trans-Golgi...

Tethering proteins in membrane traffic
In eukaryotic cells, protein secretion and the transport of materials between membrane-bounded organelles require efficient and accurate delivery of...

Regulation of exocytotic events by centrosome-analogous structures
Centrosomes, spindle pole bodies, and related structures, generally termed microtubule organising centres (MTOCs; Pickett-Heaps 1969), are best...

Regulating membrane curvature
Membranes of living cells are subject to a variety of shape changes. Membrane deformation is essential for cell division, locomotion, organelle...
