   Single-molecule turnover dynamics of actin and membrane coat proteins in clathrin-mediated endocytosis

   Michael M Lacy et al.

   The main proteins of clathrin-mediated endocytosis bind and unbind rapidly, continuously turning over about five times during the formation of an endocytic vesicle in yeast.
