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

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

open access: yes, 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.

The SNARE protein family of Leishmania major

open access: yesBMC 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

An ancestral secretory apparatus in the protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Vesicle transport through interaction with t-SNAREs 1a (Vti1a)'s roles in neurons

open access: yesHeliyon, 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-

Analysis of SEC9 suppression reveals a relationship of SNARE function to cell physiology. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

"Alternative" endocytic mechanisms exploited by pathogens: new avenues for therapeutic delivery? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Some pathogens utilize unique routes to enter cells that may evade the intracellular barriers encountered by the typical clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway.

i-SNAREs [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2003
A new functional class of SNAREs, designated inhibitory SNAREs (i-SNAREs), is described here. An i-SNARE inhibits fusion by substituting for or binding to a subunit of a fusogenic SNAREpin to form a nonfusogenic complex. Golgi-localized SNAREs were tested for i-SNARE activity by adding them as a fifth SNARE together with four other SNAREs that mediate ...

Localization of SNAP-29 and Syntaxin 6 in the brain of Bombyx mori

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology
Soluble 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

open access: yeseLife, 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.
