OverviewIntracellular membrane trafficking in eukaryotes is a multiple step process consisting in the budding of vesicles from a donor compartment, their translocation into the cytoplasm along cytoskeletal elements, their tethering, and subsequent fusion with the membrane of the target compartment. Membrane fusion is based on SNARE proteins, classified into two categories, vesicular (v)-SNAREs and target (t)-SNAREs present on the acceptor membrane. It is the specific pairing of v-SNAREs with their cognate t-SNAREs in trans which is responsible for bringing the lipid bilayers close together, and the zippering of SNAREs

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
