Studying the mechanism of autophagosome-vacuole fusion has proven difficult in live yeast cells. Developing a novel fusion assay, we identified Ykt6 as the missing R-SNARE (Soluble -ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) in this process and pinpoint the place of action of all four SNAREs involved. Parallel studies have confirmed our findings in other organisms.
研究自噬体与液泡融合的机制在活酵母细胞中已被证明具有挑战性。通过开发一种新的融合检测方法,我们确定Ykt6是这一过程中缺失的R-SNARE(可溶性N-乙基马来酰亚胺敏感因子附着蛋白受体),并明确了所有四种参与的SNARE的作用位点。平行研究在其他生物体中证实了我们的发现。
