Abstract

Extended abstract of a paper presented at Microscopy and Microanalysis 2011 in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, August 7–August 11, 2011.

Highlights

  • The recruitment of a fluorescent protein (FP) tagged endocytic protein was referenced to the disappearance of spot-like clathrin coated structure (CCS), but the precision of spot-like CCS disappearance as a marker for canonical clathrin mediated endocytosis (CME) remained unknown

  • We found scission events engulfed comparable amounts of transferrin receptor cargo at CCS of different sizes and CCS did not always disappear following scission

  • These data reveal the fine grained temporal structure of clathrin mediated endocytosis (CME) and suggest a simplified canonical model of mammalian CME in which the same

Summary

Introduction

Dual color total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIR-FM) is a powerful tool for decoding the molecular dynamics of clathrin mediated endocytosis (CME). The recruitment of a fluorescent protein (FP) tagged endocytic protein was referenced to the disappearance of spot-like clathrin coated structure (CCS), but the precision of spot-like CCS disappearance as a marker for canonical CME remained unknown.
