Abstract
Dynamin family members are large GTPases that assemble into multimeric spirals. These spirals promote membrane fission or fusion, or they inhibit processes such as viral replication. Two new studies by Chappie et al. and Gao et al. in a recent issue of Nature identify interactions between subunits of dynamin spirals, advancing mechanistic understanding of dynamin function.
