摘要: N-Ethylmaleimide (NEM) inhibits protein transport between successive compartments of the Golgi stack in a cell-free system. After inactivation membranes by NEM, can be rescued adding back an appropriately prepared cytosol fraction. This complementation assay has allowed us to purify NEM-sensitive factor, which we term NSF. The factor is tetramer 76-kDa subunits, and appears act catalytically, one leading metabolism numerous vesicles.
