title: Membrane traffic: exocyst III--makes a family.
abstract: Although many factors have been implicated in the docking steps that precede vesicle fusion with a target membrane, few similarities have been found between them. New evidence suggests that at least some of these factors form related multimeric complexes that may help to explain the mechanism of vesicle docking.
