endocytosis on demand is being compared to «hotwiring» a car.

Endocytosis of Frizzled 4 (Fz4) in human embryonic kidney 293 cells was dependent
on added Wnt5A protein and was accomplished by the multifunctional adaptor protein β - arrestin 2 (βarr2), which was recruited to Fz4 by binding to phosphorylated Dvl2.
Among all the genes that control
endocytosis, the authors of the study focused specifically
on one, called RAB7; this gene is highly expressed in melanoma cells.

on his Ph.D., Dr. Taraska investigated the processes of triggered exocytosis and
endocytosis in neuroendocrine cells with high - resolution microscopy methods.

endocytosis will happen
on the cell.
Consequently, many cellular processes such as
endocytosis, migration and morphogenesis rely
on proteins that bind directly to membranes and sculpt them into desired shapes.
Moreover, examination of the role of Mcf1 can be dissected genetically using mutants that either interfere with its
endocytosis into target cells, or Rac signalling mutants that hint at early and unexpected Mcf1 mediated effects
on the phagocyte cytoskeleton.
As all yeast integral PM components that we observed exhibit very slow lateral mobility we expect that delivery and removal of membrane components via exo - and
endocytosis have a major influence
on the final lateral localization patterns.
Our studies
on the molecular mechanisms of
endocytosis led to the discovery that the small GTPase Rab5 is a master regulator of early endosome biogenesis.

on the effects of nerve growth factor
on PC12 cells, and Trojanowski was studying axonal transport and
endocytosis.
We will also focus
on lipid signalling and lipid - controlled cell biology, and examine the effect of sphingo - and phospholipids
on endocytosis, lipid trafficking, and insulin secretion.
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.
Recently, he has been focusing
on the regulation of a family of yeast purine - cytosine permeases, including the transcriptional controls over their expression, and how, after these proteins bind to their cargo, they are targeted by the ubiquitin system for
endocytosis and delivery to the vacuole.
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).
Coated pits, associated with
endocytosis, were also present
on iPS - RPE cells (Fig. 2E).
Due to constitutive
endocytosis, only small surface TCRβ / CD3 amounts are detectable
on DN3 and DN3 - 4 cells (Panigada et al., 2002).
Specific inhibition of Vps34 activity in the complex form might differentiate the effect
on autophagy or
endocytosis.
