Prestgard-Duke, Michael | Dynamin localization in Caenorhabditis Elegans | Dynamin is a 100-KDa GTPase that is essential for endocytosis. The classic model of endocytosis is a sequential mechanism: first, cell membrane is bent and internalized via the formation of a clathrin coat; next, dynamin facilitates GTP hydrolysis, resulting in membrane scission as the newly formed ... | Caenorhabditis elegans; Guanosine triphosphatase; Endocytosis | 2014-05 |
