CAP (c-Cbl associated protein)/ponsin belongs to a family of adaptor proteins implicated in cell adhesion and signaling. Here we show that CAP binds to and co-localizes with the essential endocytic factor dynamin. We demonstrate that CAP promotes the formation of dynamin-decorated tubule like structures, which are also coated with actin filaments. Accordingly, we found that the expression of CAP leads to the inhibition of dynamin-mediated endocytosis and increases EGFR stability. Thus, we suggest that CAP may coordinate the function of dynamin with the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton during endocytosis.
