This study shows that ionic strength and ionization affect membrane-tethered polymer conformation, which influences membrane curvature generation through changes in brush thickness and grafting density.

This study shows that Snc2 recruits Yap1802 to daughter cells, linking polarized secretion to CME initiation through anionic phospholipids.

This study shows poly-ubiquitylated transmembrane proteins outcompete mono-ubiquitylated and non-ubiquitylated proteins for endocytic uptake by clathrin-coated vesicles.

This study shows Epsin1 stabilizes initiator protein condensation during clathrin-mediated endocytosis only when ubiquitin is present, ensuring cargo-specific vesicle formation.

This study shows that transmembrane coupling of protein condensates on opposite sides of a membrane slows diffusion but accelerates growth by localizing interactions, enhancing condensate formation.
