Endocytic mechanisms control the lipid and protein composition of the plasma membrane,
thereby regulating how cells interact with their environments. Here, we review what is known …

Endocytic recycling is coordinated with endocytic uptake to control the composition of the
plasma membrane. Although much of our understanding of endocytic recycling has come …

There are many pathways of endocytosis at the cell surface that apparently operate at the
same time. With the advent of new molecular genetic and imaging tools, an understanding of …

Clathrin‐independent endocytosis (CIE) allows internalization of plasma membrane proteins
lacking clathrin‐targeting sequences, such as the major histocompatibility complex class I …

Endocytosis in mammalian cells is a fundamental cellular machinery that regulates vital
physiological processes, such as the absorption of metabolites, release of neurotransmitters …

Recycling endosomes are stations that sort endocytic cargoes to their appropriate
destinations. Tubular endosomes have been characterized as a recycling endosomal …

There is increasing interest in endocytosis that occurs independently of clathrin coats and
the fates of membrane proteins internalized by this mechanism. The appearance of clathrin …

Clathrin-independent endocytosis occurs in all cells and interest in this mode of cellular
entry has grown. Although this form of endocytosis was first described for entry of bacterial …

Today it is generally accepted that there are several endocytic mechanisms, both the clathrin-
dependent one and mechanisms which operate without clathrin and with different …

Many plasma membrane (PM) proteins enter cells nonselectively through clathrin-
independent endocytosis (CIE). Here, we present evidence that cytoplasmic sequences in …
