Molecular dissection of the secretory pathway

Nature. 1992 Jan 30;355(6359):409-15. doi: 10.1038/355409a0.

Abstract

A combination of biochemistry in animal cell-free systems and genetics in yeast is revealing the molecular machinery of the secretory pathway of eukaryotes. Transporting vesicles have a simple coat structure and employ a general mechanism for fusion that is conserved in evolution.
