Protein tag determines trafficking of cargo to different cellular compartments
SNARE proteins determine how tiny membrane pouches called vesicles fuse with different cellular compartments to transport cargo and organize cells. How cells correctly target individual SNAREs to their destination is poorly understood, but the laboratories of Todd Graham, Jason MacGurn and Lauren Jackson recently published a paper uncovering part of the process that controls this compartmentalization.
