Abstrakt: Mechanical forces are transmitted from the actin cytoskeleton to the membrane during clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. End4p directly transmits force in CME by binding to both the membrane (through the AP180 N-terminal homology [ANTH] domain) and F-actin (through the talin-HIP1/R/Sla2p actin-tethering C-terminal homology [THATCH] domain). We show that 7 pN force is required for stable binding between THATCH and F-actin. We also characterized a domain in End4p, Rend (rod domain in End4p), that resembles R12 of talin. Membrane localization of Rend primes the binding of THATCH to F-actin, and force-induced unfolding of Rend at 15 pN terminates the transmission of force. We show that the mechanical properties (mechanical stability, unfolding extension, hysteresis) of Rend and THATCH are tuned to form a circuit for the initiation, transmission, and termination of force between the actin cytoskeleton and membrane. The mechanical circuit by Rend and THATCH may be conserved and coopted evolutionarily in cell adhesion complexes.
