A tethering complex recruits SNAREs and grabs vesicles

Abstract

Protein tethers can bridge gaps between membranes. Ren et al. (2009) now provide evidence that the yeast Dsl1 complex tethers vesicles to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by binding ER SNARE proteins at its base and capturing vesicles using a loop region that extends 20 nm from the ER membrane.
