Abstract excerpt
The use of yeast mutants to study the function and dynamics of clathrin-coated membranes has offered new insights into clathrin's role in the secretory pathway and has raised additional questions. Most strains of yeast can incur a disruption of clathrin heavy or light chain genes and remain viable. However, in rare cases, alleles of genes other than clathrin affect the viability of clathrin-deficient cells. The...
