Viral membrane fusion (2008, positive): “The SNARE protein complexes that catalyze synaptic–vesicle fusion pause in the “zippering” step when the two membranes are in contact, stalled by a specific component of the complex (Südhof and Rothman, 2009).”
Viral membrane fusion (2015, background): “The SNARE protein complexes that catalyze synaptic–vesicle fusion pause in the “zippering” step when the two membranes are in contact, stalled by a specific component of the complex (Südhof and Rothman, 2009).”
Neurotransmitter Release: The Last Millisecond in the Life of a Synaptic Vesicle (2013, background): “What molecular mechanisms enable fast vesicle fusion at a synapse, however, remained a mystery until molecular biology allowed mechanistic dissection of vesicle fusion and its control by Ca2+ (reviewed in Südhof and Rothman, 2009).”
Platelet secretion: From haemostasis to wound healing and beyond (2015, background): “In the simplest model, the universal SNARE-mediated fusion involves transport of the vesicle to the target membrane and ‘priming’ it for release, followed by calcium-mediated conformational change in the SNARE complex that leads to the completion of membrane fusion, and eventually to the release of ”
