Recent studies of the early secretory pathway have analysed cargo selection and transport-carrier formation by components of the endoplasmic-reticulum-associated coat protein complex-II (COPII). Results are indicative of a unifying model of cage and coat function in vesicle and tubule formation as well as fission in endomembrane traffic.
