Abstract excerpt
N-Ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF) and its yeast orthologue, Sec18, are cytoplasmic AAA(+) ATPases required for most intracellular membrane fusion events. The primary function of NSF is thought to be the disassembly of cis-SNARE complexes, thus allowing trans-SNARE complex formation and subsequent membrane fusion. The importance of NSF/Sec18 in intracellular membrane traffic in vivo is highlighted by...
