Abstract

Membrane budding and fusion occur in all eukaryotic cells. Their underlying mechanisms have been studied in mammalian neurons and in yeast, a simple eukaryote. The differences between these two systems would suggest that fusion events in yeast and the neuron would operate by different mechanisms, but recent advances indicate that this is not true.
