An ancestral secretory apparatus in the protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis [PDF]
, 2003 The protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis belongs to one of the earliest diverged eukaryotic lineages. This is also reflected in a simple intracellular organization, as Giardia lacks common subcellular compartments such as mitochondria, peroxisomes ...

Toxoplasma gondii Syntaxin 6 is required for vesicular transport between endosomal-like compartments and the Golgi Complex [PDF]
, 2013 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 ...

The SNARE protein family of
BMC Genomics, 2006 Background Leishmania major is a protozoan parasite with a highly polarised cell shape that depends upon endocytosis and exocytosis from a single area of the plasma membrane, the flagellar pocket. SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor adaptor

Analysis of SEC9 suppression reveals a relationship of SNARE function to cell physiology. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Growth and division of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is dependent on the action of SNARE proteins that are required for membrane fusion. SNAREs are regulated, through a poorly understood mechanism, to ensure membrane fusion at the correct time and ...

Vesicle transport through interaction with t-SNAREs 1a (Vti1a)'s roles in neurons
Heliyon, 2020 The Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) family mediates membrane fusion during membrane trafficking and autophagy in all eukaryotic cells, with a number of SNAREs having cell type-specific functions. The endosome-

News and Views into the SNARE Complexity in Arabidopsis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 Secretory organelles are engaged in a continuous flux of membranes, which is believed to occur mostly via transport vesicles. Being critical in maintaining several cellular functions, transport vesicles are membrane-enclosed sacs that temporarily store ...

Localization of SNAP-29 and Syntaxin 6 in the brain of Bombyx mori
European Journal of EntomologySoluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) are a family of small conserved eukaryotic proteins that mediate fusion between organelles and the plasma membrane.

Dilation of fusion pores by crowding of SNARE proteins
eLife, 2017 Hormones and neurotransmitters are released through fluctuating exocytotic fusion pores that can flicker open and shut multiple times. Cargo release and vesicle recycling depend on the fate of the pore, which may reseal or dilate irreversibly.

Drosophila SNAP-29 is an essential SNARE that binds multiple proteins involved in membrane traffic. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Each membrane fusion event along the secretory and endocytic pathways requires a specific set of SNAREs to assemble into a 4-helical coiled-coil, the so-called trans-SNARE complex.
