Drubin explains how endocytosis can be used as a system to dissect the mechanisms of actin dynamics in yeast. He focuses on his lab’s research on three key processes: actin disassembly, filament capping and Arp2/3 nucleation. By giving an overview of the importance of actin dynamics in regulating a single cell process, endocytosis, Drubin highlights the crucial role of actin assembly and disassembly in both yeast and mammalian cells.
