Abstract excerpt
Fusion of intracellular membrane-bound compartments is a common step in the transport of macromolecules along the endocytic and secretory pathways. Previous work has shown that GTP gamma S stimulates endosome fusion in the presence of low concentrations of cytosol. In this study, we have characterized the effect of rab5:Q79L, a mutant with reduced GTPase activity, on endosome fusion in a cell-free assay....
