Summary

Data presented here demonstrate that purified recombinant dynamin binds to a lipid bilayer in a regular pattern to form helical tubes that constrict and vesiculate upon GTP addition, suggesting that dynamin alone is sufficient for the formation of constricted necks of coated pits and supports the hypothesis that dynamIn is the force-generating molecule responsible for membrane fission.
