Structural and Functional Analysis of the CAPS SNARE-Binding Domain Required for SNARE Complex Formation and Exocytosis

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Exocytosis of synaptic vesicles and dense-core vesicles requires both the Munc13 and CAPS (Ca2+-dependent activator proteins for secretion) proteins.

ATP-independent Control of Vac8 Palmitoylation by a SNARE Subcomplex on Yeast Vacuoles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Yeast vacuole fusion requires palmitoylated Vac8. We previously showed that Vac8 acylation occurs early in the fusion reaction, is blocked by antibodies against Sec18 (yeast N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF)), and is mediated by the R-SNARE

Amyloid-β Oligomers May Impair SNARE-Mediated Exocytosis by Direct Binding to Syntaxin 1a

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is closely associated with synaptic dysfunction, and thus current treatments often aim to stimulate neurotransmission to improve cognitive impairment.

SNARE complex in axonal guidance and neuroregeneration. [PDF]

open access: yesNeural Regen Res, 2018
Through complex mechanisms that guide axons to the appropriate routes towards their targets, axonal growth and guidance lead to neuronal system formation. These mechanisms establish the synaptic circuitry necessary for the optimal performance of the nervous system in all organisms. Damage to these networks can be repaired by neuroregenerative processes

Visualization of the exocyst complex dynamics at the plasma membrane of Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The exocyst complex, an effector of Rho and Rab GTPases, is believed to function as an exocytotic vesicle tether at the plasma membrane before soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex formation.

α-SNAP Enhances SNARE Zippering by Stabilizing the SNARE Four-Helix Bundle

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
Intracellular membrane fusion is mediated by dynamic assembly and disassembly of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein (SNAP) receptors (SNAREs). α-SNAP guides NSF to disassemble SNARE complexes after membrane fusion.

Munc18-1 induces conformational changes of syntaxin-1 in multiple intermediates for SNARE assembly

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
In neuronal exocytosis, SNARE assembly into a stable four-helix bundle drives membrane fusion. Previous studies have revealed that the SM protein Munc18-1 plays a critical role for precise SNARE assembly with the help of Munc13-1, but the underlying ...

Stability, folding dynamics, and long-range conformational transition of the synaptic t-SNARE complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Synaptic soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) couple their stepwise folding to fusion of synaptic vesicles with plasma membranes.

Lateral Fluid Percussion Injury Impairs Hippocampal Synaptic Soluble N-Ethylmaleimide Sensitive Factor Attachment Protein Receptor Complex Formation

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2017
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the activation of secondary injury mechanisms have been linked to impaired cognitive function, which, as observed in TBI patients and animal models, can persist for months and years following the initial injury ...
