Sequential restriction of SNARE-mediated fusion by the COPII inner coat and SNARE chaperones

Emma J. Mackey, Tomoka Takenaka, Elizabeth A. Miller, Alexey J. Merz

The paper investigates SNARE-mediated ER-Golgi fusion, showing that a specific SNARE topology is required for efficient fusion and that COPII components inhibit fusion by sequestering SNAREs.
