  • Title: Cell control by membrane-cytoskeleton adhesion.
    Author: Sheetz MP.
    Journal: Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol; 2001 May; 2(5):392-6. PubMed ID: 11331914.
    Abstract:
    The rates of mechanochemical processes, such as endocytosis, membrane extension and membrane resealing after cell wounding, are known to be controlled biochemically, through interaction with regulatory proteins. Here, I propose that these rates are also controlled physically, through an apparently continuous adhesion between plasma membrane lipids and cytoskeletal proteins.
