X Abstract

Clathrin-coated pits (CCPs) are generally considered a uniform population of endocytic machines containing mixed constitutive and regulated membrane cargo. Contrary to this view, we show that regulated endocytosis of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) occurs preferentially through a subset of CCPs. Significantly, GPCR-containing CCPs are also functionally distinct, as their surface residence time is regulated locally by GPCR cargo via PDZ-dependent linkage to the actin cytoskeleton. Such cargo-regulated CCPs show delayed recruitment of dynamin and can undergo an abortive event in which clathrin coats separate from the plasma membrane without concomitant receptor endocytosis. Segregation of cargo into CCP subsets, combined with cargo-dependent control of CCP dynamics, suggests a simple kinetic mechanism to generate functional specialization early in the endocytic pathway and reduce competition between diverse endocytic cargo.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
