Reps1 and SGIP1 interact with amphiphysin 1 as with the Rab11-FIP2 protein involved in the function of recy- cling endosomes [30]. Given that SGIP1 and Reps1 associate with endocytic proteins Here we demonstrate the in vivo interaction between Reps1 and and localize to CCPs, we investigated whether they interact with ITSN1.

To this end, MCF-7 membranes but differ in their effect on dynamin vesiculation of cells were cotransfected with GFP-Reps1 and mCherry-ITSN1 bilayer tubules – amphiphysin supports dynamin-mediated vesicle constructs; significant codistribution of the expressed proteins formation whereas endophilin inhibits such formation [34].

Interaction data suggest that Reps1 and SGIP1 that the network of interactions between membrane-deforming do not compete for ITSN1 binding as they have different binding proteins and their adaptors is extending. In contrast, Reps1 binds sites. In line with this proposal, we found that SGIP1 and Reps1 only the SH3 domain of amphiphysin 1 but not to endophilin. O.
