Scope and Contents

Contents

The two universally required components of the intracellular membrane fusion machinery, SNARE and SM (Sec1/Munc18-like) proteins, play complementary roles in fusion. Vesicular and target membrane-localized SNARE proteins zipper up into an α-helical bundle that pulls the two membranes tightly together to exert the force required for fusion. SM prote...
