Abstract excerpt
The dynamin superfamily of large GTPases has been implicated in a variety of distinct intracellular membrane remodeling events. One of these family members, DLP1/Drp1, is similar to conventional dynamins as it contains an N-terminal GTPase domain followed by a middle region (MID), an unconserved region (UC), and a coiled-coil (CC) domain. DLP1 has been shown to function in membrane-based processes distinct from...
