Caveolae have been linked to the regulation of signaling pathways in eukaryotic cells through direct interactions with caveolins. Here, we describe a cell-free system based on <i>Leishmania tarentolae</i> (<i>Lt</i>) extracts for the biogenesis of caveolae and show its use for single-molecule interaction studies. Insertion of expressed caveolin-1 (CAV1) into <i>Lt</i> membranes was analogous to that of caveolin in native membranes. Electron tomography showed that caveolins generate domains of pr ...[more]
