Dynamin recruitment by clathrin coats: a physical step? [PDF]
Recent structural findings have shown that dynamin, a cytosol protein playing a key-role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis, inserts partly within the lipid bilayer and tends to self-assemble around lipid tubules. Taking into account these observations, we

Two dynamin-like proteins stabilize FtsZ rings during Streptomyces sporulation [PDF]
Significance Bacterial dynamins were discovered ∼10 y ago and the explosion in genome sequencing has shown that they radiate throughout the bacteria, being present in >1,000 species. In eukaryotes, dynamins play critical roles in the detachment of endocytic vesicles from the plasma membrane, the division of chloroplasts and peroxisomes ...

Entacapone Treatment Modulates Hippocampal Proteins Related to Synaptic Vehicle Trafficking
Entacapone, a reversible inhibitor of catechol-O-methyl transferase, is used for patients in Parkinson’s disease because it increases the bioavailability and effectiveness of levodopa.

Signal Recognition Particle (SRP) and SRP Receptor: A New Paradigm for Multistate Regulatory GTPases [PDF]
The GTP-binding proteins or GTPases comprise a superfamily of proteins that provide molecular switches in numerous cellular processes. The “GTPase switch” paradigm, in which a GTPase acts as a bimodal switch that is turned “on” and “off” by external ...

The in Vivo Phosphorylation Sites of Rat Brain Dynamin I
Dynamin I (dynI) is phosphorylated in synaptosomes at Ser(774) and Ser(778) by cyclin-dependent kinase 5 to regulate recruitment of syndapin I for synaptic vesicle endocytosis, and in PC12 cells on Ser(857). Hierarchical phosphorylation of Ser(774) precedes phosphorylation of Ser(778).

Dynamin‐like proteins mediate extracellular vesicle secretion in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
AbstractMycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) secretes extracellular vesicles (EVs) containing a variety of proteins, lipoproteins, and lipoglycans. While emerging evidence suggests that EVs contribute to tuberculosis pathogenesis, the factors and molecular mechanisms involved in mycobacterial EV production have not been identified.

Sustained exocytosis after action potential-like stimulation at low frequencies in mouse chromaffin cells depends on a dynamin-dependent fast endocytotic process [PDF]
Under basal conditions the action potential firing rate of adrenal chromaffin cells is lower than 0.5 Hz. The maintenance of the secretory response at such frequencies requires a continuous replenishment of releasable vesicles.

Interactions of Phocein with Nucleoside-Diphosphate Kinase, Eps15, and Dynamin I [PDF]
Phocein, an intracellular protein interacting with striatin, bears a few homologies with the sigma-subunits of clathrin adaptor proteins (Baillat, G., Moqrich, A., Castets, F., Baude, A., Bailly, Y., Benmerah, A., and Monneron, A. (2001) Mol. Biol. Cell 12, 663-673).

Mechanistic insights into mutually exclusive splicing in dynamin 1 [PDF]
Abstract Summary: Mutually exclusive splicing is a strictly regulated pattern of alternative splicing. A specific group of mutually exclusive splicing events has been shown to be regulated by the formation of specific RNA secondary structures. This type of regulation has been shown to exist only in arthropods.
