Mechanisms of COPI vesicle formation

FEBS Lett. 2009 Dec 3;583(23):3758-63. doi: 10.1016/j.febslet.2009.10.056. Epub 2009 Oct 23.

Abstract

Coat Protein I (COPI) is one of the most intensely investigated coat complexes. Numerous studies have contributed to a general understanding of how coat proteins act to initiate intracellular vesicular transport. This review highlights key recent findings that have shaped our current understanding of how COPI vesicles are formed.
