Abstract excerpt
The Sec1/Munc18 (SM) proteins constitute a conserved family with essential functions in SNARE-mediated membrane fusion. Recently, a new protein-protein interaction site in Sec1p, designated the groove, was proposed. Here, we show that a sec1 groove mutant yeast strain, sec1(w24), displays temperature-sensitive growth and secretion defects. The yeast Sec1p and mammalian Munc18-1 grooves were shown to play an...
