This means that Dynamin A acts as a one-component division machinery, which can be used for synthetic cells and which likely also plays a role in abscission in bacterial cell division.
DynA thus promotes membrane scission (while earlier work showed it can also induce fusion)

Latest #CDlab paper at @biorxivpreprint: A synthetic membrane shaper for controlled liposome deformation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Here Nicola De Franceschi shows that DNA on liposomes can generate high yields of stomatocyte or dumbbell shapes. Great collaboration with @CG_Martini
Reconstruction of ESCRT-III CHMP2A-CHMP3 helical filaments coated in membrane reveal mechanism for the constriction of negatively curved membranes.. 😎
