Description
Summary:The study of membrane traffic in reconstituted cell-free systems has generated an unprecedented amount of new information on the biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics of membrane-based molecular events that underly normal and abnormal cellular function. Many of the individual steps have now been isolated and dissected in simple systems that permit detailed molecular analyses of transport mechanisms and their regulation. Reconstituted events of intercompartment transfer include inter-membrane recognition and controlled membrane fusion-fission reactions. Provided here is an account of the current literature and basic approaches to the investigation of the molecular mechanisms of membrane traffic in both animal and plant cells.Major focus is on the presentation and interpretation of new data that provide, for the first time, a detailed picture of the molecular events of membrane traffic and its control.
