Structural and Functional Studies of Membrane Remodeling Machines Raghav Kalia#1,2, Nathaniel Talledge#1,2, and Adam Frost1,2 1Department of Biochemistry, University of Utah, School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, UT 84112 2Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94158 # These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract Building cells from their component parts will hinge upon our ability to reconstitute biochemical compartmentalization and exchange between membrane-delimited organelles. By contrast with our understanding of other cellular events, the mechanisms that govern membrane trafficking has lagged because the presence of phospholipid bilayers complicates the use of standard methods. This chapter describes in vitro methods for purifying, reconstituting and visualizing membrane remodeling activities directly by electron cryomicroscopy (cryoEM). Keywords Membrane remodeling; electron cryomicroscopy; cryoEM; endocytosis; mitochondria; dynamin; endophilin; bilayer; lipid-binding Introduction to membrane remodeling Chemical compartmentalization was as critical in the evolution of life as was the realization of self-replicating molecules. Robert Hooke’s use of the metaphorical “cell” draws our attention to the inhabitants of the “small rooms” he observed with his microscope; but also to the walls that outline a room, distinguish it from its neighbors, and that segregate inside from outside activities (1).

Garcia, Chair Professor Gordon L. Amidon Professor Anna K. Mapp Professor Hollis D. Showalter Professor Ronald W.

Emanuele 2015 For my biggest fan, My Mother (who is more excited than I am about my graduation) ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would not be where I am today without the support of a lot of people. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. George Garcia. I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for me over the years. You allowed a young undergraduate student, who had no idea how to do anything, into your lab and gave him a chance to prove himself. Throughout my time in your lab, you have provided me guidance, in science and in life, and have taught what it means to be a good scientist. I could not have asked for a better mentor, thank you for everything. I’d also like to thank the members of my committee for all the advice and support they provided me during the course of my dissertation research: Dr. Hollis Showalter, Dr. Ronald Woodard, Dr.
