description Abstract Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is pivotal to signal transduction pathways between the extracellular environment and the intracellular space. Evidence from live-cell imaging and super-resolution microscopy of mammalian cells suggests an asymmetric distribution of actin fibres near the clathrin-coated pit, which induces asymmetric pit-closing rather than radial constriction. However, detailed molecular mechanisms of this ‘asymmetricity’ remain elusive. Herein, we used high-speed atomic force microscopy to demonstrate that CIP4, a multi-domain protein with a classic F-BAR domain and intrinsically disordered regions, is necessary for asymmetric pit-closing. Strong self-assembly of CIP4 via intrinsically disordered regions, together with stereospecific interactions with the curved membrane and actin-regulating proteins, generates a small actin-rich environment near the pit, which deforms the membrane and closes the pit. Our results provide mechanistic insights into how disordered and structured domain collaboration promotes spatio-temporal actin polymerisation near the plasma membrane.
