However,
endocytic waves may be initiated by
clathrin through a positive feedback mechanism between
clathrin and downstream proteins which includes actin regulating proteins as well as membrane proteins such as PIP3.
The researchers observed that for such coordination between the
endocytic and cortical waves, a feedback between downstream F - BAR / Cdc42 / N - WASP and
clathrin was required.
The work, led by Assistant Professor Wu Min, showed how a major
endocytic pathway mediated by the protein
clathrin, was found to commence with periodic traveling waves of
clathrin, which were coupled temporally and spatially to downstream cortical actin waves.
The feedback, which couples the initiation of
endocytic waves by
clathrin to cortical actin waves is analogous to a group of people walking on a wobbly bridge.
Using sensitive live cell imaging, the team noted that
endocytic waves initiated by
clathrin emerge in some cell populations.

Novel function of
clathrin light chain in promoting
endocytic vesicle formation.
We thus propose a molecular hypothesis — termed the GL - Lect hypothesis — on how GlycoLipids and Lectins drive the formation of compositional nanoenvrionments from which the
endocytic uptake of glycosylated cargo proteins is operated via
clathrin - independent carriers.
The contribution of extracellular determinants to the construction of
endocytic pits has received much less attention, depite the fact that (glyco) sphingolipids are exoplasmic leaflet fabric of membrane domains, termed rafts, whose contributions to predominantly
clathrin - independent internalization processes is well recognized.
We hypothesized that certain lectins link glycosylated cargo proteins and glycosphingolipids into molecular nanoenvironments from which
endocytic pits are formed without the help of the cytosolic
clathrin machinery (Figure 1).

endocytic pits without
clathrin.
In the
Endocytic Trafficking and Intracellular Delivery team we study the cell biology of carbohydrate - binding proteins (lectins) at the level of cellular entry though
clathrin - independent endocytosis, retrograde sorting on early endosomes, and translocation to the cytosol.
However, we have recently discovered that, depending on the concentration of ligand, the EGFR may also be internalised via an alternative
clathrin - independent / lipid raft - dependent
endocytic route: non-
clathrin endocytosis (NCE)(4).
Cell surface receptors can be endocytosed by both
clathrin - dependent and
clathrin - independent mechanisms, but, as yet, there is no clear understanding of why alternative
endocytic routes exist or how receptors are committed to a particular route.
