Passive endocytosis in model protocells

S. J. Zhang, L. A. Lowe, P. Anees, Y. Krishnan, T. G. Fai, J. W. Szostak, A. Wang

This study shows that model protocells can perform a process similar to passive endocytosis, allowing rapid uptake and slow release of impermeable molecules, suggesting a possible mechanism for early nutrient acquisition before protein transporters evolved.

An autoinhibitory clamp of actin assembly constrains and directs synaptic endocytosis

S. J. Del Signore, C. F. Kelley, E. M. Messelaar, T. Lemos, M. F. Marchan, B. Ermanoska, M. Mund, T. G. Fai, M. Kaksonen, A. A. Rodal

The paper identifies an autoinhibitory mechanism that limits actin assembly to specific synaptic endocytic events by regulating interactions between Nwk, Dap160, and WASp.
