The spatiotemporally controlled assembly of protein scaffolds at membranes plays a crucial role in membrane traffic and remodeling, cell signaling, as well as in differentiation and development. The Collaborative Research Center aims at elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which dynamically organized protein-protein assemblies scaffold cellular membranes and exert cellular functions.
