Membrane Charge Directs the Outcome of F-BAR Domain Lipid Binding and Autoregulation [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2015 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.

The F-BAR Domain of Rga7 Relies on a Cooperative Mechanism of Membrane Binding with a Partner Protein during Fission Yeast Cytokinesis [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: F-BAR proteins bind the plasma membrane (PM) to scaffold and organize the actin cytoskeleton. To understand how F-BAR proteins achieve their PM association, we studied the localization of a Schizosaccharomyces pombe F-BAR protein Rga7, which ...

Membrane sculpting by F-BAR domains studied by molecular dynamics simulations. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2013 Interplay between cellular membranes and their peripheral proteins drives many processes in eukaryotic cells. Proteins of the Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain family, in particular, play a role in cellular morphogenesis, for example curving planar ...

Investigation of F-BAR domain PACSIN proteins uncovers membrane tubulation function in cilia assembly and transport [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 PACSIN proteins are known to mediate membrane tubulation. Here the authors show that PACSIN - positive membranous tubules extend from the ciliary pocket membrane and during ciliogenesis from the ciliary vesicle to the plasma membrane, called ...

Publisher Correction: Investigation of F-BAR domain PACSIN proteins uncovers membrane tubulation function in cilia assembly and transport [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 In the original version of this Article, the fifth sentence of the abstract incorrectly read ‘Remarkably, we show that PACSIN1 and EHD1 assemble membrane t7ubules from the developing intracellular cilium that attach to the plasma membrane, creating an ...

The BAR Domain Superfamily Proteins from Subcellular Structures to Human Diseases
Membranes, 2012 Eukaryotic cells have complicated membrane systems. The outermost plasma membrane contains various substructures, such as invaginations and protrusions, which are involved in endocytosis and cell migration.

The inverse F-BAR domain protein srGAP2 acts through srGAP3 to modulate neuronal differentiation and neurite outgrowth of mouse neuroblastoma cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The inverse F-BAR (IF-BAR) domain proteins srGAP1, srGAP2 and srGAP3 are implicated in neuronal development and may be linked to mental retardation, schizophrenia and seizure.

Versatile membrane deformation potential of activated pacsin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Endocytosis is a fundamental process in signaling and membrane trafficking. The formation of vesicles at the plasma membrane is mediated by the G protein dynamin that catalyzes the final fission step, the actin cytoskeleton, and proteins that sense or ...
