lüll Vesicle formation and endocytosis: function, machinery, mechanisms, and modeling Parkar NS; Akpa BS; Nitsche LC; Wedgewood LE; Place AT; Sverdlov MS; Chaga O; Minshall RDAntioxid Redox Signal 2009[Jun]; 11 (6): 1301-12Vesicle formation provides a means of cellular entry for extracellular substances and for recycling of membrane constituents. Mechanisms governing the two primary endocytic pathways (i.e., caveolae- and clathrin-mediated endocytosis, as well as newly emerging vesicular pathways) have become the focus of intense investigation to improve our understanding of nutrient, hormone, and drug delivery, as well as opportunistic invasion of pathogens. In this review of endocytosis, we broadly discuss the structural and signaling proteins that compose the molecular machinery governing endocytic vesicle formation (budding, invagination, and fission from the membrane), with some regard for the specificity observed in certain cell types and species. Important biochemical functions of endocytosis and diseases caused by their disruption also are discussed, along with the structures of key components of endocytic pathways and their known mechanistic contributions. The mechanisms by which principal components of the endocytic machinery are recruited to the plasma membrane, where they interact to induce vesicle formation, are discussed, together with computational approaches used to simulate simplified versions of endocytosis with the hope of clarifying aspects of vesicle formation that may be difficult to determine experimentally. Finally, we pose several unanswered questions intended to stimulate further research interest in the cell biology and modeling of endocytosis.|Animals[MESH]|Caveolae/metabolism/ultrastructure[MESH]|Cell Membrane/metabolism/ultrastructure[MESH]|Clathrin/metabolism[MESH]|Endocytosis/genetics/*physiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Models, Biological[MESH]|Signal Transduction/physiology[MESH]|Transport Vesicles/metabolism/*physiology/ultrastructure[MESH] |
