Fig. 7. A schematic model for how ESCPE-1 assembles on membranes.

a, 3D reconstruction of the ESCPE-1 coat. The SNX1–SNX5 atomic model has been fitted and symmetrized according to the arrangement calculated from the three-start helix parameters. Amphipathic helices responsible for the lateral expansion of lipids are in red. b, Model for the endosomal sorting of ESCPE-1 cargos. The presence of cargo promotes SNX1–SNX5 recruitment and the shaping of a tubular carrier in conjunction with pushing forces produced by actin polymerization and pulling forces produced by molecular motors.
