Slide 6: Tethering Factors and SM proteins regulate SNAREpin Assembly

Tethering factors are a large group of proteins or multiple-protein complexes that link transport vesicles to their cognate target membranes. Tethering factors can be divided into two major groups: homodimeric long coiled-coil proteins and multisubunit tethering complexes (MTCs). Coiled-coil tethers… Continue Reading →

Slide 2: SNAREpin Assembly Drives Membrane Fusion

The fusion of two membrane compartments into a single continuous bilayer is fundamental for diverse biological processes including bacterial reproduction, gametes fertilization, virus internalization, and vesicular transport. Although all forms of membrane fusion share common mechanisms, different fusion events employ… Continue Reading →
