The protein machinery of vesicle budding and fusion Journal Article


Author: Rothman, J. E.
Article Title: The protein machinery of vesicle budding and fusion
Abstract: A general protein machinery that buds and fuses transport vesicles is harnessed to generate the complex web of intracellular transport pathways critical for such diverse processes as cell growth, endocytosis, hormone release, and neurotransmission. With this appreciation, the challenge of understanding the precise molecular mechanisms of these many facets of cell biology has been reduced to a series of problems in protein structure and chemistry.
