The tethering complex HOPS catalyzes assembly of the soluble SNARE Vam7 into fusogenic trans-SNARE complexes

Large tethering complexes play an essential role in many intracellular membrane fusion events, yet their mode of action is poorly understood. A new function of the HOPS complex is uncovered in facilitating vacuolar fusion, the specific recruitment of the soluble SNARE Vam7 for the formation of fusog...
