Abstract:
Transfer of proteins and lipids between the various membrane-bound subcellular compartments of the eukaryotic cell is mediated by transport vesicles. The development of cell-free assays has allowed rapid progress towards a molecular description of the formation, or budding, of these vesicles. This article reviews and integrates data obtained from various yeast and mammalian systems on molecules involved in the budding reaction.
