Abstract

Dynamic actin filaments are the source of force required for many cellular processes in eukaryotic cells. Although in vitro experiments have shed light on the effect of many actin-binding proteins on actin dynamics, the mechanisms causing the fast turnover of the actin filaments inside the cell remain poorly understood. Previous experimental work from our lab showed that endocytic proteins exchange very rapidly during clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) in yeast. Their dwell-time distributions, which indicate how long individual molecules stay at endocytic structures, are reminiscent of Gamma distributions with a peak around 1 s, except for the filament crosslinking protein fimbrin.
