Before revision:  We show analytically that the anchoring forces exerted on the membrane by a layer of proteins can lead to the membrane bending. We find equilibrium shapes similar to the ones observed during the budding of vesicles and cell division .
After revision:  We show analytically that the anchoring forces exerted on the membrane by a layer of proteins . We show analytically that such anisotropic interactions can drive membrane bending, resulting in non-trivial equilibrium morphologies .
