MoDnm1 Dynamin Mediating Peroxisomal and Mitochondrial Fission in Complex with MoFis1 and MoMdv1 Is Important for Development of Functional Appressorium in Magnaporthe oryzae. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2016 Dynamins are large superfamily GTPase proteins that are involved in various cellular processes including budding of transport vesicles, division of organelles, cytokinesis, and pathogen resistance.

Tracking autophagy during proliferation and differentiation of Trypanosoma brucei
Microbial Cell, 2016 The dynamins represent a superfamily of proteins that have been shown to function in a wide range of membrane fusion and fission events. An increasing number of mutations in the human classical dynamins, Dyn-1 and Dyn-2 has been reported, with diseases ...

Recruitment of clathrin to intracellular membranes is sufficient for vesicle formation
eLife, 2022 The formation of a clathrin-coated vesicle (CCV) is a major membrane remodeling process that is crucial for membrane traffic in cells. Besides clathrin, these vesicles contain at least 100 different proteins although it is unclear how many are essential ...

Defective membrane remodeling in neuromuscular diseases: insights from animal models. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Proteins involved in membrane remodeling play an essential role in a plethora of cell functions including endocytosis and intracellular transport. Defects in several of them lead to human diseases.

Syntaphilin Binds to Dynamin-1 and Inhibits Dynamin-dependent Endocytosis [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003 Syntaphilin is a brain-specific syntaxin-binding partner first characterized as an inhibitor of SNARE complex formation and neurotransmitter release. Here we show that syntaphilin also binds to dynamin-1 and through this interaction inhibits dynamin-mediated endocytosis. Immunoprecipitation studies from cross-linked rat synaptosomes demonstrate that an

F-actin Bundle Sedimentation Assay
Bio-Protocol, 2019 Understanding the molecular mechanism governing the higher-order regulation of actin dynamics requires chemically-defined and quantitative assays. Recently, the membrane remodeling large GTPase, dynamin, has been identified as a new actin cross-linking ...

Redundant and Distinct Functions for Dynamin-1 and Dynamin-2 Isoforms [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1998 A role for dynamin in clathrin-mediated endocytosis is now well established. However, mammals express three closely related, tissue-specific dynamin isoforms, each with multiple splice variants. Thus, an important question is whether these isoforms and splice variants function in vesicle formation from distinct intracellular organelles.

A proteomic study of memory after imprinting in the domestic chick
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015 The intermediate and medial mesopallium (IMM) of the domestic chick forebrain has previously been shown to be a memory system for visual imprinting. Learning-related changes occur in certain plasma membrane and mitochondrial proteins in the IMM.
