We have shown that the ubiquitous clathrin heavy chain (CHC), well characterized for its role in intracellular membrane traffic and
endocytosis from the plasma membrane (PM), forms large plaques connected to α - actinin and actin filaments.

Our contributions to this field have helped to change the way
endocytosis is perceived,
from being simply a mechanism for signal attenuation to being a vital component of the cell signalling machinery that provides spatial and temporal dimensions to signalling events (1).
