AbstractThe process of clathrin-mediated endocytosis tightly regulates signaling of the superfamily of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). A fundamental question in the cell biology of membrane receptor endocytosis is whether activated receptors can initiate the formation of clathrin-coated pits (CPs) or whether they are simply mobilized to pre-existing CPs. Here, using various approaches, including a dynamic assay to monitor the distribution of CPs and GPCR-beta-arrestin complexes in live HeLa cells, we demonstrate for the first time that activated GPCRs do not initiate the de novo formation of CPs but instead are targeted to pre-existing CPs.
