Liquid-like protein interactions catalyze assembly of endocytic vesicles

K. J. Day, G. Kago, L. Wang, J. B. Richter, C. C. Hayden, E. M. Lafer, J. C. Stachowiak

The paper shows that weak, liquid-like interactions between Eps15 and Fcho1 enable efficient endocytosis by promoting dynamic protein assembly and preventing stalling of vesicle budding.

BAR scaffolds drive membrane fission by crowding disordered domains

W. T. Snead, W. F. Zeno, G. Kago, R. W. Perkins, J. B. Richter, C. Zhao, E. M. Lafer, J. C. Stachowiak

The paper shows that BAR domain-containing proteins drive membrane fission by crowding disordered domains, challenging the idea that BAR scaffolds stabilize membranes.
