Is endocytosis by caveolae dependent on dynamin?

open access: yesNature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
The large GTPase dynamin has a crucial role in endocytosis, working at the neck of clathrin-coated pits to drive vesicular scission. Until recently, dynamin was believed to regulate endocytosis through caveolae in a similar fashion.

Dynamin

2009
Dynamin is a protein required for vesicle formation during synaptic vesicle endocytosis (SVE) and for clathrin-mediated endocytosis. It is part of a family of large guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases), including classical dynamins, dynamin-like protein, optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), and mitofusin.

Dynamin family of mechanoenzymes

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2001
The dynamin family of proteins is continually growing, and in recent years members have been localized to areas of mitochondrial fission, plant phragmoplasts and chloroplasts, and viral ribonucleoprotein complexes. All the dynamin-like proteins examined to-date appear to assemble into oligomers, such as rings or spirals; however, it remains to be ...

Dynamins in human diseases: differential requirement of dynamin activity in distinct tissues

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2023
Dynamin, a 100-kDa GTPase, is one of the most-characterized membrane fission machineries catalyzing vesicle release from plasma membrane during endocytosis. The human genome encodes three dynamins: DNM1, DNM2 and DNM3, with high amino acid similarity but distinct expression patterns. Ever since the discoveries of dynamin mutations associated with human

The function of dynamin in endocytosis

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1995
Temperature-sensitive shibire mutants of Drosophila melanogaster become rapidly paralyzed upon a shift to the restrictive temperature, which is due to a block in synaptic vesicle endocytosis. The shibire gene encodes the GTPase dynamin. Recent studies have shown that dynamin forms rings at the neck of invaginated clathrin-coated pits, and have ...

Vesicle scission: Dynamin

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2011
Dynamin is a large GTPase involved in endocytic vesicle formation, but its exact role and mechanism are subjects of long-standing debate. Despite recent advances in the structural analyses of isolated dynamin domains and the faithful reconstitution of dynamin-dependent membrane fission in model membrane systems, the mechanism of its action remains ...

Is dynamin really a ‘pinchase’?

Trends in Cell Biology, 1997
The motivation for this article was a recent conversation with an author of a major cell-biology textbook who was gratified that the problem of ?pinching off? membrane vesicles from donor membranes had been solved.It was now known, the author claimed, that the large GTPase dynamin was a ?pinchase? severing the necks of budding vesicles.We are concerned

Dynamin

1999
Abstract Dynamin was also identified as dephosphin-I, a major synaptosomal protein that rapidly undergoes dephosphorylation upon membrane depolarization. It is the mammalian homologue of the Drosophila shibir e protein.

Dynamin in disease

Nature Genetics, 2005
Dynamins are dynamic scaffolding proteins that function in membrane trafficking. A new study shows that mutations in the gene encoding dynamin 2 underlie a distinct form of peripheral neuropathy, establishing the first link between dynamins and human disease.
