Abstract

Membrane fusion involves the action of members of the SNARE protein family as well as Sec1/Munc18 (SM) proteins, which have been found to interact with SNAREs in three distinct ways. Recent work has established that Munc18-1 directly stimulates fusion and possibly uses all three modes of SNARE interaction.
