NSF-mediated disassembly of on- and off-pathway SNARE complexes and inhibition by complexin
SNARE complex disassembly by the ATPase NSF is essential for neurotransmitter release and other membrane trafficking processes. We developed a single-molecule FRET assay to monitor repeated rounds of NSF-mediated disassembly and reassembly of individual ...

Negative regulation of syntaxin4/SNAP-23/VAMP2-mediated membrane fusion by Munc18c in vitro. [PDF]
Translocation of the facilitative glucose transporter GLUT4 from an intracellular store to the plasma membrane is responsible for the increased rate of glucose transport into fat and muscle cells in response to insulin. This represents a specialised form

Epileptic Phenotypes Associated With SNAREs and Related Synaptic Vesicle Exocytosis Machinery
SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) are an heterogeneous family of proteins that, together with their key regulators, are implicated in synaptic vesicle exocytosis and synaptic transmission. SNAREs represent the

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

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of SNARE Complex Unzipping [PDF]
The SNARE proteins facilitate biological membrane fusion. The neuronal SNARE proteins, namely VAMP-2, also called synaptobrevin 2, SNAP-25, and syntaxin-1A together form a coiled-coil complex. The formation of this SNARE complex is vital for vesicle-plasma membrane fusion resulting in neurotransmitter exocytosis.

Non-canonical role of the SNARE protein Ykt6 in autophagosome-lysosome fusion. [PDF]
The autophagosomal SNARE Syntaxin17 (Syx17) forms a complex with Snap29 and Vamp7/8 to promote autophagosome-lysosome fusion via multiple interactions with the tethering complex HOPS.

The dysbindin-containing complex (BLOC-1) in brain: developmental regulation, interaction with SNARE proteins and role in neurite outgrowth. [PDF]
Previous studies have implicated DTNBP1 as a schizophrenia susceptibility gene and its encoded protein, dysbindin, as a potential regulator of synaptic vesicle physiology.

The SNAREs vti1a and vti1b have distinct localization and SNARE complex partners [PDF]
Two mammalian proteins, vtila and vtilb, are homologous to the yeast Q-SNARE Vtilp which is part of several SNARE complexes in different transport steps. In vitro experiments suggest distinct functions for vtila and vtilb. Here we compared the subcellular localization of endogenous vtila and vtilb by immunofluorescence and immuno-electron microscopy ...

The destructive effect of botulinum neurotoxins on the SNARE protein: SNAP-25 and synaptic membrane fusion [PDF]
Synaptic exocytosis requires the assembly of syntaxin 1A and SNAP-25 on the plasma membrane and synaptobrevin 2 (VAMP2) on the vesicular membrane to bridge the two opposite membranes.
