Title: Dynamin
Literature References: GTPase mechanoenzyme which plays an essential role in membrane budding and vesicle trafficking. Various isoforms which are tissue or function specific co-exist. Homotetramer which self-assembles into ring and spirals which form collars at the fission point. Isolation from bovine brain: H. S. Shpetner, R. B. Vallee, Cell 59, 421, (1989).
