摘要
Cellular cargo is transported around the cell in small vesicles that are pinched off the donor membrane and then fuse with the target cell. Fusion is mediated by the interaction of proteins -- found on both the vesicle and target membranes -- called SNAREs. The structure of the core fusion complex has now been solved, and changes our ideas about how this process occurs.
