An experimental tour de force, this study artificially reconstitutes a vacuole membrane fusion system. The low levels of liposome lysis observed in this reconstituted fusion system suggest that physiologic concentrations of SNAREs, HOPS, Sec17-Sec18, and fusion site lipids represent a sufficient machinery to both catalyze fusion and restrict lysis.

54. •], this study suggests that trans-SNARE zippering to the third α-helical turn beyond the central SNARE domain 0-layer is a critical junction in determining whether trans-SNAREs form kinetically stable complexes or abort. The observation that zippering beyond the third α-helical turn is required to initiate lipid-mixing at vacuoles suggests SNARE domain pairing between the 0-layer and third turn represents a critical assembly checkpoint in regulating membrane fusion.
