In brief

Membrane trafficking Reconstitution of Rab- and SNARE-dependent membrane fusion by synthetic endosomes Ohya, T. et al. Nature 20 May 2009 (doi:10.1038/nature08107) Although cognate SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors) are sufficient to fuse membranes in vitro, the process is inefficient.
