For example, induced
endocytosis can be shown to be an optimal solution
for transmitting high - fidelity information by signaling recepto
for transmitting high - fidelity information by signaling receptors.

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.
Platelet - activating factor - induced clathrin - mediated
endocytosis requires β - arrestin - 1 recruitment and activation of the p38 MAPK signalosome at the plasma membrane
for actin bundle formation.
Endocytosis is the process in which a part of a cell engulfs external molecules
for further processing.
We have established that clathrin - dependent
endocytosis of the type - I interferon (IFN - α / β) receptor (IFNAR) is required
for JAK / STAT signalling.
Endosomes are the main organelles
for sorting material that has been taken up from the exterior of the cell by the plasma membrane (
endocytosis).
The Johannes group has made two major contributions in this context: the discovery of a membrane trafficking interface between early endosomes and the Golgi apparatus, and the demonstration that dynamic protein - induced glycosphingolipid reorganization acts as a driving force
for membrane invagination in clathrin - independent
endocytosis.
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).
Endocytosis has traditionally been viewed as a mechanism
for achieving signal attenuation: activated cell surface receptors are internalised and trafficked through endocytic vesicles to lysosomes, where they are degraded.
At the basic level, this work opened the field of receptor - mediated
endocytosis, and at the clinical level it helped lay the conceptual groundwork
for development of drugs called statins that lower blood LDL - cholesterol and prevent heart attacks.
