A new study has uncovered three mechanisms of motor-independent membrane tubulation. In vitro reconstitution using a minimal set of proteins shows that the accumulation of crosslinking proteins at the membrane–microtubule interface is sufficient to drive tubulation, which is enhanced by coupling with microtubule dynamics.

膜重塑：无源交联剂驱动膜管

一项新的研究发现了独立于运动的膜管形成的三种机制。使用最少的一组蛋白质进行的体外重组显示，膜-微管界面处交联蛋白的积累足以驱动输卵管，而微管动力学耦合则增强了输卵管。
