The rab3A-22A chimera prevents sperm exocytosis by stabilizing open fusion pores [PDF]
, 2016 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.

AAA+ protein unfoldases—the Moirai of the proteome
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.AAA+ unfoldases are essential molecular motors that power protein degradation and disaggregation. This review integrates recent cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) structures and single‐molecule biophysical data to reconcile competing models of substrate translocation.

Sec3 promotes the initial binary t-SNARE complex assembly and membrane fusion
Nature Communications, 2017 Membrane fusion during exocytosis is mediated by interaction between SNARE proteins on vesicles and the cell membrane, but how SNARE complex assembly is initiated remains unknown.

The nature of the Syntaxin4 C-terminus affects Munc18c-supported SNARE assembly. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Vesicular transport of cellular cargo requires targeted membrane fusion and formation of a SNARE protein complex that draws the two apposing fusing membranes together. Insulin-regulated delivery and fusion of glucose transporter-4 storage vesicles at the

CaMKIIalpha interacts with multi-PDZ domain protein MUPP1 in spermatozoa and prevents spontaneous acrosomal exocytosis [PDF]
, 2009 The success of acrosomal exocytosis, a complex process with a variety of inter-related steps, relies on the coordinated interaction of participating signaling molecules.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Pharmacologic ascorbate (vitamin C) increases ROS, disrupts cellular metabolism, and induces DNA damage in CRPC cells. These effects sensitize tumors to PARP inhibition, producing synergistic growth suppression with olaparib in vitro and significantly delayed tumor progression in vivo. Pyruvate rescue confirms ROS‐dependent activity.

Role of SNAREs in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Cells, 2021 Neurodegenerative diseases are pathologies of the central and peripheral nervous systems characterized by loss of brain functions and problems in movement which occur due to the slow and progressive degeneration of cellular elements.

Numerical Experiments with Coupled Membranes and the Snare Mechanism [PDF]
, 2010 National audienceThe snare drum is one of the more complex musical instruments from a modeling and synthesis perspective---it includes elements modeled as 0D (the drum stick), 1D (the snares), 2D (a pair of membranes) and 3D (the cavity and perhaps the ...

Protein structure and phenotypic analysis of pathogenic and population missense variants in STXBP1 [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Syntaxin-binding protein 1, encoded by STXBP1, is highly expressed in the brain and involved in fusing synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane.
