ABSTRACT
Current knowledge of the structural changes taking place during clathrin-mediated endocytosis is largely based on electron microscopy images fixed preparations and x-ray crystallography data purified proteins. In this paper, we describe a study clathrin-coated pit dynamics in living cells using ion conductance to directly image shape, combined with simultaneous confocal follow molecule-specific fluorescence. We find that 70% pits closed formation protrusion grew one side pit, covered entire then disappeared together pit-associated clathrin–enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) actin-binding protein–EGFP (Abp1-EGFP) This was contrast conventionally closing cleaved from flat membrane sheets lacked accompanying Abp1-EGFP Scission both types found be dynamin-2 dependent. technique now enables direct spatial temporal correlation between functional fluorescence information key biological processes at cell surfaces.
