Clathrin-independent carriers form a high capacity endocytic sorting system at the leading edge of migrating cells
Open accessAbstract
Although the importance of clathrin- and caveolin-independent endocytic pathways has recently emerged, key aspects of these routes remain unknown. Using quantitative ultrastructural approaches, we show that clathrin-independent carriers (CLICs) account for approximately three times the volume internalized by the clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway, forming the major pathway involved in uptake of fluid and bulk membrane in fibroblasts. Electron tomographic analysis of the 3D morphology of the earliest carriers shows that they are multidomain organelles that form a complex sorting station as they mature. Proteomic analysis provides direct links between CLICs, cellular adhesion turnover, and migration. Consistent with this, CLIC-mediated endocytosis of key cargo proteins, CD44 and Thy-1, is polarized at the leading edge of migrating fibroblasts, while transient ablation of CLICs impairs their ability to migrate. These studies provide the first quantitative ultrastructural analysis and molecular characterization of the major endocytic pathway in fibroblasts, a pathway that provides rapid membrane turnover at the leading edge of migrating cells.

Receptor-mediated endocytosis is further classified into clathrin-mediated endocytosis, caveolin-mediated endocytosis, caveolin-independent endocytosis, and clathrin-independent endocytosis.
“The receptor-mediated endocytosis has been further classified into several subtypes, such as clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), Caveolin-mediated endocytosis (CavME), Caveolin-independent endocytosis (CavIE), and Clathrin-independent endocytosis (CIE) [6,7,8,9].”
From Insights of Endocytosis Signaling in Health and Disease (2023) · cites this paper as [8]
The Introduction (p. 1) distinguishes clathrin-mediated endocytosis, caveolae, and noncaveolar clathrin-independent routes. It describes these as constitutive pinocytic pathways, not specifically as subtypes of receptor-mediated endocytosis, and does not present caveolin-independent and clathrin-independent endocytosis as separate categories.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
