Recently, several high-resolution imaging techniques have been used on different cell lines to measure the geometrical properties of clathrin-coated pits over their whole lifetime. Here, we first show that the combination of all datasets with the recently introduced cooperative curvature model defines a consensus pathway, which is characterized by a flat-to-curved transition at finite area, followed by linear growth and subsequent saturation of curvature. We then apply an energetic model for the composite of the plasma membrane and clathrin coat to this consensus pathway to show that the dominant mechanism for invagination could be coat stiffening, which might originate from cooperative interactions between the different clathrin molecules and progressively drives the system toward its intrinsic curvature. Our theory predicts that two length scales determine the invagination pathway, namely the patch size at which the flat-to-curved transition occurs and the final pit radius."}],"status":"public","type":"journal_article","publication_status":"published","publication":"Physical Review E","oa":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"OA_type":"green","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","quality_controlled":"1","doi":"10.1103/PhysRevE.110.064403","acknowledgement":"We thank Markus Mund, Aline Tschanz, and Jonas Ries for helpful discussions and a critical reading of the manuscript.
