Deskripsi

Two distinct and opposing models for clathrin-mediated endocytosis have been inferred from EM and structural biology data. Here the authors develop an optical method to directly visualize membrane-bending dynamics and show that coat assembly accommodates membrane bending during or after the assembly of the clathrin lattice, which is not predicted by either model.
