Abstract excerpt
The large GTPase dynamin plays a key role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis in animal cells, although its mechanism of action remains unclear. Dynamins 1, 2, and 3 contain a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain that binds phosphoinositides with a very low affinity (K(D) > 1 mM), and this interaction appears to be crucial for function. These observations prompted the suggestion that an array of PH domains drives...
