Robinson and colleagues perform a human-genome-wide siRNA screen to identify regulators of clathrin-coated vesicle formation. The knockdown phenotype of one of their hits, V-ATPase, is rescued by exogenous cholesterol, revealing an intriguing link between cholesterol and clathrin-coated vesicle formation.
