Dynamin

Dynamin was originally identified as a GTPase that co-purified with brain microtubules. Mammalian genomes contain three dynamin genes16. The proteins encoded by these genes share the same domain organization and 80% overall homology, but they have distinct expression patterns. Dynamin is localized at sites of endocytosis. It is also found at actin meshworks nucleated by the actin-related protein 2/3 (ARP2/3) complex, such as membrane ruffles, podosomes and invadopodia, and at actin pedestals induced by pathogenic bacteria (such as enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC)). Other dynamin-like proteins (DLPs), including atlastin, dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), optic atrophy 1 homologue (OPA1) and mitofusin, localize to sites of intracellular membrane fission and fusion in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), mitochondria and peroxisomes.
