Membrane Charge Directs the Outcome of F-BAR Domain Lipid Binding and Autoregulation [PDF]
F-BAR domain proteins regulate and sense membrane curvature by interacting with negatively charged phospholipids and assembling into higher-order scaffolds. However, regulatory mechanisms controlling these interactions are poorly understood.

Purification of Recombinant Human Amphiphysin 1 and its N-BAR Domain [PDF]
Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) proteins are known as classical membrane curvature generators during endocytosis. Amphiphysin, a member of the N-BAR sub-family of proteins that contain a characteristic amphipathic sequence at the N-terminus of the BAR domain ...

Ca2+ Regulates Dimerization of the BAR Domain Protein PICK1 and Consequent Membrane Curvature [PDF]
Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs (BAR) domain proteins are critical regulators of membrane geometry. They induce and stabilize membrane curvature for processes, such as clathrin-coated pit formation and endosomal membrane tubulation.

An atypical BAR domain protein in autophagy. [PDF]
The sorting nexin Atg20 interacts with the selective macroautophagy/autophagy scaffolding protein Atg11, suggesting an important role for Atg20 in the initiation of selective autophagy. To explore this possibility, we recently investigated the structure and function of Atg20 using a variety of biophysical and yeast genetic approaches.

The ArfGAP ASAP1 Controls Actin Stress Fiber Organization via Its N-BAR Domain [PDF]
Summary: ASAP1 is a multi-domain ArfGAP that controls cell migration, spreading, and focal adhesion dynamics. Although its GAP activity contributes to remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton, it does not fully explain all cellular functions of ASAP1.

A bacterial membrane sculpting protein with BAR domain-like activity [PDF]
Bin/Amphiphysin/RVS (BAR) domain proteins belong to a superfamily of coiled-coil proteins influencing membrane curvature in eukaryotes and are associated with vesicle biogenesis, vesicle-mediated protein trafficking, and intracellular signaling. Here, we

Dendritic Spine Initiation in Brain Development, Learning and Diseases and Impact of BAR-Domain Proteins [PDF]
Dendritic spines are small, bulbous protrusions along neuronal dendrites where most of the excitatory synapses are located. Dendritic spine density in normal human brain increases rapidly before and after birth achieving the highest density around 2–8 ...

BAR domain proteins regulate Rho GTPase signaling [PDF]
The Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs (BAR) domain is a membrane lipid binding domain present in a wide variety of proteins, often proteins with a role in Rho-regulated signaling pathways. BAR domains do not only confer binding to lipid bilayers, they also possess a membrane sculpturing ability and thereby directly control the topology of biomembranes.
