Structure and function of SNARE and SNARE-interacting proteins

Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics, 2005
This review focuses on the so-called SNARE (soluble N-ethyl maleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins that are involved in exocytosis at the pre-synpatic plasma membrane. SNAREs play a role in docking and fusion of synaptic vesicles to the active zone, as well as in the Ca2+-triggering step itself, most likely in combination with

Luminescence detection of SNARE–SNARE interaction in Arabidopsis protoplasts

Plant Molecular Biology, 2009
Membrane associated proteins SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein attachment protein receptors) provide the minimal fusion machinery necessary for cellular vesicles to fuse to target organelle membranes in eukaryotic cells. Despite the conserved nature of the fusion machinery in all eukaryotes, it still remains challenging to ...

Molecular form follows function: (un)snaring the SNAREs

Trends in Neurosciences, 2008
Exocytotic release of transmitters is mediated by the ternary SNARE complex. The form of this complex is consistent with its function in the positioning of vesicles to the plasma membrane and their fusion to it. Recent advances in single-molecule techniques, however, bring an additional layer of complexity to this process, implicating that there might ...

Snare

2023
Snare is an original novella that follows the journey of its narrator, Bee, a timid young woman who plays drums in a DC-based band. Bee is mid-song at a gig when she loses the beat of a song; suddenly, she feels isolated, off-beat, and off balance. Leaving DC for a new start, Bee meets Lois, an intriguing, aloof woman with whom she eventually settles ...

Longins and their longin domains: regulated SNAREs and multifunctional SNARE regulators

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2004
Longins are the only R-SNAREs that are common to all eukaryotes and are characterized by a conserved N-terminal domain with a profilin-like fold called a longin domain (LD). These domains seem to be essential for regulating membrane trafficking and they mediate unexpected biochemical functions via a range of protein-protein and intramolecular binding ...

SNAREs during development

Cell and Tissue Research, 2001
Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attached protein receptor (SNARE) molecules are implicated in many fundamental cellular processes that require membrane fusion, and the interactions of the SNARE proteins, SNAP-25, syntaxin and VAMP/synaptobrevin, have been extensively studied. This review documents recent data on their role at different stages

SNAREs and developmental disorders

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2020
AbstractMembers of the soluble N‐ethylmaleimide‐sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) family mediate membrane fusion processes associated with vesicular trafficking and autophagy. SNAREs mediate core membrane fusion processes essential for all cells, but some SNAREs serve cell/tissue type‐specific exocytic/endocytic functions, and are ...
