title: Targeting and fusion in vesicular transport.
abstract: Vesicular transport of proteins and lipids between distinct subcellular compartments is directly responsible for generating and maintaining the structure of the organelles of the secretory and endocytic pathways in eukaryotic cells. Rapid advances in a variety of experimental systems have resulted in the identification of molecules involved in late steps of the transport process. This article presents a general paradigm for vesicular fusion and reviews the available experimental evidence.
