SNARE function revisited

Josep Rizo

Josep Rizo is in the Departments of Biochemistry and Pharmacology, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas 75390, USA. jose@arnie.swmed.edu

The notion that SNARE proteins constitute the minimal machinery for intracellular membrane fusion has been accepted by many scientists. An EPR study now brings new structural data on the neuronal SNARE VAMP-2 and emphasizes the importance of rigorous evidence before a hypothesis becomes a dogma.
