GTP-dependent twisting of dynamin implicates constriction and tension in membrane fission
Article Abstract:
Dynamin, a crucial factor in endocytosis, is a member of a family of GTPases that participates in membrane fission. It was initially proposed to act as a machine that constricts and cuts the neck of nascent vesicles in a GTP-hydrolysis-dependent reaction, but subsequent studies suggested alternative models.

Dual-key strategy
Article Abstract:
Recruitment of cytoplasmic proteins controls the traffic flow between cellular compartments. A dual key mechanism, involving membrane lipids and proteins, that coordinates this control is examined.
