Theoretical model for the formation of caveolae and similar membrane invaginations.

Biophysical journal - 1 Apr 2004

Sens Pierre, Turner Matthew S

Abstract excerpt

We study a physical model for the formation of bud-like invaginations on fluid lipid membranes under tension, and apply this model to caveolae formation. We demonstrate that budding can be driven by membrane-bound proteins, provided that they exert asymmetric forces on the membrane that give rise to bending moments. In particular, caveolae formation does not necessarily require forces to be applied by the...
