Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Detection of Synaptophysin I and Vesicle-associated Membrane Protein 2 Interactions during Exocytosis from Single Live Synapses [PDF]
To investigate the molecular interactions of synaptophysin I and vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP2)/synaptobrevin II during exocytosis, we have used time-lapse videomicroscopy to measure fluorescence resonance energy transfer in live neurons.

Human VAMP3 Suppresses or Negatively Regulates Bax Induced Apoptosis in Yeast
Apoptosis is an essential process that is regulated genetically and could lead to a serious disease condition if not well controlled. Bax is one of the main proapoptotic proteins and actively involved in programmed cell death.

Localization and Function of SolubleN-Ethylmaleimide-sensitive Factor Attachment Protein-25 and Vesicle-associated Membrane Protein-2 in Functioning Gastric Parietal Cells [PDF]
The soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) plays an important role in vesicle trafficking. Together with vesicle-associated membrane protein-2 (VAMP-2) and syntaxin, SNAP-25 forms a ternary complex implicated in docking and fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane during exocytosis. These so-called

Atlas of interactions between SARS-CoV-2 macromolecules and host proteins
The proteins and RNAs of viruses extensively interact with host proteins after infection. We collected and reanalyzed all available datasets of protein-protein and RNA-protein interactions related to SARS-CoV-2.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Dense core secretory vesicles revealed as a dynamic Ca2+store in neuroendocrine cells with a vesicle-associated membrane protein aequorin chimaera [PDF]
The role of dense core secretory vesicles in the control of cytosolic-free Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](c)) in neuronal and neuroendocrine cells is enigmatic. By constructing a vesicle-associated membrane protein 2-synaptobrevin.aequorin chimera, we show that in clonal pancreatic islet beta-cells: (a) increases in [Ca(2+)](c) cause a prompt increase

Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Soluble NSF Attachment Protein Receptors (SNAREs) drive membrane fusion in eukaryotic cells. SNAREs of the Vesicle Associated Membrane Protein (VAMP) family reside in vesicles and mediate vesicle fusion. After fusion, VAMP remains inserted in the plasma membrane until retrieved for another round of fusion.

Vesicle-associated Membrane Protein 2 Plays a Specific Role in the Insulin-dependent Trafficking of the Facilitative Glucose Transporter GLUT4 in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes [PDF]
Vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP2) has been implicated in the insulin-regulated trafficking of GLUT4 in adipocytes. It has been proposed that VAMP2 co-localizes with GLUT4 in a postendocytic storage compartment (Martin, S., Tellam, J., Livingstone, C., Slot, J. W., Gould, G. W., and James, D. E. (1996) J. Cell Biol. 134, 625-635), suggesting
