We report time courses of the accumulation and loss of 16 fluorescent fusion proteins at sites of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in fission yeast. Mathematical modeling shows that dendritic nucleation hypothesis can account for the kinetics of actin assembly in vivo and disassembly requires actin filament severing along with depolymerization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
