Abstract excerpt
Genetic studies in yeast, plants, insects, and mammals have identified four universally conserved proteins, together called Vps Class C, that are essential for late endosome and lysosome assembly and for numerous endolysosomal trafficking pathways, including the terminal stages of autophagy. Two Vps-C complexes, HOPS and CORVET, incorporate diverse biochemical functions: they tether membranes, stimulate Rab...
