A general protein machinery that buds and fuses transport vesicles is harnessed to generate the complex web of intracellular transport pathways critical for such diverse processes as cell growth, endocytosis, hormone release, and neurotransmission. With this appreciation, the challenge of understanding the precise molecular mechanisms of these many facets of cell biology has been reduced to a series of problems in protein structure and chemistry.
一种用于出芽和融合运输小泡的通用蛋白质机制被用于构建细胞内运输途径的复杂网络,这些途径对于细胞生长、内吞作用、激素释放和神经传递等多种不同过程至关重要。基于这种认识,理解细胞生物学这些多方面精确分子机制的挑战已简化为一系列蛋白质结构和化学问题。
