Abstract excerpt
Heat shock cognate protein-70 (Hsc70) supports remodeling of protein complexes, such as disassembly of clathrin coats on endocytic coated vesicles. To understand how a simple ATP-driven molecular clamp catalyzes a large-scale disassembly reaction, we have used single-particle fluorescence imaging to track the dynamics of Hsc70 and its clathrin substrate in real time. Hsc70 accumulates to a critical level,...
