Once trans-SNARE complexes that form large, stable pores by Ca2+-synaptotagmin 1, they can only be closed by the action of the N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor(NSF). Time-resolved measurements reveal that NSF-mediated pore closure occurs via a complex 'stuttering' mechanism. | Resolving kinetic intermediates during the regulated assembly and disassembly of fusion pores.
