Binding to the extracellular matrix and proteolytic processing: two key mechanisms regulating vascular endothelial growth factor action.

abstract：:Sec1p/Munc18 (SM) proteins are essential for membrane fusion events in eukaryotic cells. Here we describe a systematic, structure-based mutational analysis of the yeast SM protein Sly1p, which was previously shown to function in anterograde endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-Golgi and intra-Golgi protein transport. Five ne...
