Structure determination of the major asparagine-linked sugar chain of human factor VIII--von Willebrand factor.

abstract：:CAP (c-Cbl associated protein)/ponsin belongs to a family of adaptor proteins implicated in cell adhesion and signaling. Here we show that CAP binds to and co-localizes with the essential endocytic factor dynamin. We demonstrate that CAP promotes the formation of dynamin-decorated tubule like structures, which are als...
