Bridging the gap by AAA ATPases
Article Abstract:
Membrane fusion is central to vesicle transport and requires several membrane-bound and cytosolic factors. Attention has focused on the ATPase, N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF), which belongs to the family of AAA-type ATPase, along with functional partners NSF attachement proteins (SNAPS) and SNAP receptors (SNAREs). Kondo and colleagues have discovered a p47 accessory factor, required for p97 dependent memberane fusion. This helps to address the molecular details of p97 dependent fusion and is important in understanding how AAA-type ATpases act.
