Membrane Fusion: Five Lipids, Four SNAREs, Three Chaperones, Two Nucleotides, and a Rab, All Dancing in a Ring on Yeast Vacuoles
Abstract
Although fusion mechanisms are highly conserved in evolution and among organelles of the exocytic and endocytic pathways, yeast vacuole homotypic fusion offers unique technical advantages: excellent genetics, clear organelle cytology, in vitro colorimetric fusion assays, and reconstitution of fusion from all-pure components, including a Rab GTPase, HOPS (homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting complex), four SNAREs [soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) attachment receptors] that snare (bind) each other, SNARE-complex disassembly chaperones, and vacuolar lipids. Vacuole fusion studies offer paradigms of the interdependence of lipids and fusion proteins to assemble a fusion microdomain, distinct lipid functions, SNARE complex proofreading through the synergy between HOPS and the SNARE disassembly chaperones, and the role of each fusion protein in promoting radical bilayer restructuring for fusion without lysis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
