Evidence Snippets

Unsupervised clustering identified ... only in CAVIN1-expressing cells, spherical, hollow caveolae.
Evidence 1Source 1DOIPubMedprovenance
In many different cell types, the plasma membrane is heavily decorated with small pits of 60–80 nm in diameter, which constitute a specialized type of microdomain called caveolae.

Multi-threshold modularity analysis suggests that S1A scaffolds interact to form larger scaffolds and that S1A dimers group together in the presence of CAVIN1 to form the caveolae coat.

Many proposed caveola-associated signaling interactions require confirmation with independent techniques and should distinguish caveolar from non-caveolar caveolin pools.

Quoted textsource-backed
many of these interactions need to be confirmed by using independent techniques ... In addition, roles for caveolar and non-caveolar pools of caveolin must be considered

Stabilization of caveolae by the cavin complex is proposed to arise from multiple weak phosphatidylserine-cavin interactions consistent with coincidence detection.

Quoted textsource-backed
the stabilisation of caveolae by the cavin complex could be the result of the sum of the many – but relatively weak – binding interactions between PtSer and cavin molecules. Such a mechanism, termed coincidence detection
