| Research Abstract |
Endocytosis is a process by which eukaryotic cells internalize extracellular materials into the cell. This process plays an important role in a variety of fundamental physiological responses, such as cell surface receptor internalization and somatic nutrient uptake. In this project, we performed structural and functional analyses of endocytic proteins, such as synaptojanin, PACSIN2/Syndapin II, CIP4, FBP17, Cdc42, and WAVE2 complex, and revealed the structural bases of various aspects of vesicle formation in endocytosis.
