Toxoplasma gondii Syntaxin 6 is required for vesicular transport between endosomal-like compartments and the Golgi Complex [PDF]
Apicomplexans are obligate intracellular parasites that invade the host cell in an active process that relies on unique secretory organelles (micronemes, rhoptries and dense granules) localized at the apical tip of these highly polarized eukaryotes ...

N-terminal domain of vacuolar SNARE Vam7p promotes trans -SNARE complex assembly [PDF]
SNARE-dependent membrane fusion in eukaryotic cells requires that the heptad-repeat SNARE domains from R- and Q-SNAREs, anchored to apposed membranes, assemble into four-helix coiled-coil bundles. In addition to their SNARE and transmembrane domains, most SNAREs have N-terminal domains (N-domains), although their functions are unclear. The

Neurotransmitter release — four years of SNARE complexes
Exocytosis in neurons requires proteins known as SNAREs, membrane proteins that have now been implicated in many intracellular fusion events. SNAREs assemble into stable ternary complexes that are dissociated by the ATPase NSF (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor), working together with SNAPs (soluble NSF attachment proteins).

AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 Are Required for the Subcellular Localization of the SNARE Complex That Mediates the Trafficking of Seed Storage Proteins in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
The SNARE complex composed of VAMP727, SYP22, VTI11 and SYP51 is critical for protein trafficking and PSV biogenesis in Arabidopsis. This SNARE complex directs the fusion between the prevacuolar compartment (PVC) and the vacuole, and thus mediates ...

The rab3A-22A chimera prevents sperm exocytosis by stabilizing open fusion pores [PDF]
At the final stage of exocytotis, a fusion pore opens between the plasma and a secretory vesicle membranes; typically, when the pore dilates the vesicle releases its cargo.

Phosphoinositides and SNARE chaperones synergistically assemble and remodel SNARE complexes for membrane fusion [PDF]
Yeast vacuole fusion requires 4 SNAREs, 2 SNARE chaperone systems (Sec17p/Sec18p/ATP and the HOPS complex), and 2 phosphoinositides, phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PI(3)P] and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P 2 ].

Munc18-1 catalyzes neuronal SNARE assembly by templating SNARE association
Sec1/Munc18-family (SM) proteins are required for SNARE-mediated membrane fusion, but their mechanism(s) of action remain controversial. Using single-molecule force spectroscopy, we found that the SM protein Munc18-1 catalyzes step-wise zippering of ...
