A Cascade of Multiple Proteins and Lipids Catalyzes Membrane Fusion

Abstract

Recent studies suggest revisions to the SNARE paradigm of membrane fusion. Membrane tethers and/or SNAREs recruit proteins of the Sec 1/Munc18 family to catalyze SNARE assembly into trans-complexes. SNARE-domain zippering draws the bilayers into immediate apposition and provides a platform to position fusion triggers such as Sec 17/α-SNAP and/or synaptotagmin, which insert their apolar wedge domains into the bilayers, initiating the lipid rearrangements of fusion
