Membrane Heterogeneity Controls Cellular Endocytic Trafficking
Endocytic trafficking relies on highly localized events in cell membranes. Endocytosis involves the gathering of protein (cargo/receptor) at distinct plasma membrane locations defined by specific lipid and protein compositions.

The ∼ 16 kDa C-terminal sequence of clathrin assembly protein AP180 is essential for efficient clathrin binding. [PDF]
Brain-specific AP180 is present in clathrin coats at equal concentration to the adapter complex, AP2, and assembles clathrin faster than any other protein in vitro.

Yeast Irc6p is a novel type of conserved clathrin coat accessory factor related to small G proteins. [PDF]
Clathrin coat accessory proteins play key roles in transport mediated by clathrin-coated vesicles. Yeast Irc6p and the related mammalian p34 are putative clathrin accessory proteins that interact with clathrin adaptor complexes.

Regulation of Clathrin-Mediated Endocytosis.
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is the major endocytic pathway in mammalian cells. It is responsible for the uptake of transmembrane receptors and transporters, for remodeling plasma membrane composition in response to environmental changes, and for ...

Clathrin-independent pathways do not contribute significantly to endocytic flux
Several different endocytic pathways have been proposed to function in mammalian cells. Clathrin-coated pits are well defined, but the identity, mechanism and function of alternative pathways have been controversial.

Clathrin Heavy Chain subunits coordinate endo- and exocytic traffic and affect stomatal movement [PDF]
The current model for vesicular traffic to and from the plasma membrane is accepted but the molecular requirements for this coordination are not well defined.

SNX4 in complex with clathrin and dynein: implications for endosome movement. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Sorting nexins (SNXs) constitute a family of proteins classified by their phosphatidylinositol (PI) binding Phox homology (PX) domain. Some members regulate intracellular trafficking.

Flat clathrin lattices are linked to metastatic potential in colorectal cancer
Summary: Clathrin assembles at the cells’ plasma membrane in a multitude of clathrin-coated structures (CCSs). Among these are flat clathrin lattices (FCLs), alternative clathrin structures that have been found in specific cell types, including cancer ...

Activation of endocytosis as an adaptation to the mammalian host by trypanosomes [PDF]
Immune evasion in African trypanosomes is principally mediated by antigenic variation, but rapid internalization of surface-bound immune factors may contribute to survival.
