Small GTPase Cdc42, WASP, and scaffold proteins for higher-order assembly of the F-BAR domain protein. [PDF]
The higher-order assembly of Bin-amphiphysin-Rvs (BAR) domain proteins, including the FCH-BAR (F-BAR) domain proteins, into lattice on the membrane is essential for the formation of subcellular structures. However, the regulation of their ordered assembly has not been elucidated.

Molecular basis for SH3 domain regulation of F-BAR–mediated membrane deformation [PDF]
Members of the Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain protein superfamily are involved in membrane remodeling in various cellular pathways ranging from endocytic vesicle and T-tubule formation to cell migration and neuromorphogenesis. Membrane curvature induction and stabilization are encoded within the BAR or Fer-CIP4 homology-BAR (F-BAR) domains, α-helical

“Wunder” F-BAR Domains: Going from Pits to Vesicles [PDF]
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is a key mechanism by which cells take up extracellular cargo. In this issue, Shimada et al. (2007) reveal the mode of action of the F-BAR domain, which deepens the initial membrane pit that forms during clathrin-mediated endocytosis.

The F-BAR domain of SRGP-1 facilitates cell-cell adhesion during C. elegans morphogenesis. [PDF]
Robust cell–cell adhesion is critical for tissue integrity and morphogenesis, yet little is known about the molecular mechanisms controlling cell–cell junction architecture and strength. We discovered that SRGP-1 is a novel component of cell–cell junctions in Caenorhabditis elegans, localizing via its F-BAR (Bin1, Amphiphysin, and RVS167) domain and a ...

Phosphorylation of syndapin I F-BAR domain at two helix-capping motifs regulates membrane tubulation. [PDF]
Syndapin I (PACSIN 1) is a synaptically enriched membrane tubulating protein that plays important roles in activity-dependent bulk endocytosis and neuronal morphogenesis. While syndapin I is an in vitro phosphoprotein, it is not known to be phosphorylated in neurons.

The F-BAR domains from srGAP1, srGAP2, and srGAP3 differentially regulate membrane deformation [PDF]
Coordination of membrane deformation and cytoskeletal dynamics lies at the heart of many biological processes critical for cell polarity, motility and morphogenesis. We recently showed that slit-robo GTPase-activating protein 2 (srGAP2) regulates neuronal morphogenesis through the ability of its F-BAR domain to regulate membrane deformation and induce ...

The F-BAR Domain of srGAP2 Induces Membrane Protrusions Required for Neuronal Migration and Morphogenesis [PDF]
During brain development, proper neuronal migration and morphogenesis is critical for the establishment of functional neural circuits. Here we report that srGAP2 negatively regulates neuronal migration and induces neurite outgrowth and branching through the ability of its F-BAR domain to induce filopodia-like membrane protrusions resembling those ...

Phagocytosis is mediated by two-dimensional assemblies of the F-BAR protein GAS7
The Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs167 (BAR) domain superfamily, which includes FCH-BAR (F-BAR) domain proteins are membrane-sculpting proteins. Here the authors combine a range of techniques and show that the F-BAR domain of growth-arrest specific protein 7 (GAS7 ...

The Tubulation Activity of a Fission Yeast F-BAR Protein Is Dispensable for Its Function in Cytokinesis [PDF]
F-BAR proteins link cellular membranes to the actin cytoskeleton in many biological processes. Here we investigated the function of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Imp2 F-BAR domain in cytokinesis and find that it is critical for Imp2’s role in contractile

The F-BAR domain protein PACSIN2 associates with Rac1 and regulates cell spreading and migration [PDF]
The Rac1 GTPase controls cytoskeletal dynamics and is a key regulator of cell spreading and migration mediated by signaling through effector proteins, such as the PAK kinases and the Scar and WAVE proteins. We previously identified a series of regulatory proteins that associate with Rac1 through its hypervariable C-terminal domain, including the Rac1 ...
