Mitochondrial uncouplers inhibit clathrin-mediated endocytosis largely through cytoplasmic acidification

Plant cells maintain strict proton gradients over different membranes. Here, Dejonghe et al. show that several protonophores, including the known tyrosine kinase inhibitor TyrphostinA23, inhibit clathrin-mediated endocytosis by disturbing these gradients and causing cytoplasmic acidification.
