Fusion of tethered membranes can be driven by Sec18/NSF and Sec17/αSNAP without HOPS
Figures
Figure 1

Sec17, Sec18, and ATPγS promote rapid and homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting (HOPS)-independent fusion without SNARE zippering.
Proteoliposomes were prepared with vacuolar lipids, membrane-anchored Ypt7, and either R or the 3Q SNAREs with molar ratios of 1Ypt7:8000 lipids and 1 of each SNARE/16,000 lipids. Since Qc3Δ is a labile member of SNARE complexes (Song et al., 2021), a fivefold molar excess to the other SNAREs was used in preparing Ypt7/QaQbQc3Δ proteoliposomes. The initial mixtures at t = 0 were 18 μl, and remaining components were added at 30 min in 2 μl. Vertical dotted lines delineate the first 5 min, termed α, and the 2 min β interval after further additions.
