Abstract
As cells grow, move, and divide, they must reorganize and rearrange their membranes and cytoskeleton. The F-BAR protein family links cellular membranes with actin cytoskeletal rearrangements in processes including endocytosis, cytokinesis, and cell motility. Here we review emerging information on mechanisms of F-BAR domain oligomerization and membrane binding, and how these activities are coordinated with additional domains to accomplish scaffolding and signaling functions.Keywords: F-BAR domain; actin cytoskeleton; cell motility; cytokinesis; endocytosis; membrane bending; membrane binding; oligomerization; scaffolding; signaling; tubulation
