Abstract

Receptor mediated endocytosis (RME) is dependent upon the formation of a complex, multi- subunit protein coat on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. Regulation of assembly and disassembly of this coat is fundamentally important in terms of governing RME and membrane turn-over at the plasma membrane. Recent data suggest that reversible phosphorylation of various components of the coat occur, and that this phosphorylation affects coat formation. Thus, reversible phosphorylation may be a way by which RME is regulated. To date, the endogenous kinase(s) responsible for such phosphorylation has not been identified. We plan to purify and identify the kinase(s) responsible for phosphorylation of coat components.
