Abstract:the recruitment of specific cargo, curving of membranes to overcome energetic barriers during the formation of a membrane bud, and finally cleave off the vesicle membrane area by fission. In fusion events a donor vesicle will be directed to a target site. Lipids and protein receptors are involved in the correct trafficking and then make such a vesicle fusion competent by docking and priming. Finally the energy barrier to fuse two lipid membranes has to be overcome, which is again greatly facilitated by special… Show more
