Lipid-anchored Vti1 was fully active, and lipid-anchored Nyv1 permitted the reaction to proceed up to hemifusion, and lipid-anchored Vam3 interfered already before hemifusion.
Title: Vacuolar SNARE protein transmembrane domains serve as nonspecific membrane anchors with unequal roles in lipid mixing.

Data show that the binding sites for vacuolar SNAREs and the SNARE Vam3 Habc domain are located in the large head of the HOPS complex, where vesicular transport proteins Vps16 and Vps33 have been identified.
Title: The Habc domain of the SNARE Vam3 interacts with the HOPS tethering complex to facilitate vacuole fusion.
