SNARE regulators: matchmakers and matchbreakers.
SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein attachment protein receptors) are membrane-associated proteins that participate in the fusion of internal membranes in eukaryotic cells. SNAREs comprise three distinct and well-conserved families of molecules that act directly as membrane fusogens or, at the least, as elements that bring membranes into close apposition and allow for subs...
متن کاملCadherins as Matchmakers
Cadherins implement afferent-target matching in invertebrates, but proof for this concept in mammalian circuits has remained elusive. Two new studies in this issue of Neuron show that cadherin-6 mediates retinal ganglion cell target selection and that cadherin-9 promotes synapse specificity in the hippocampus.
متن کاملConstraint-Based Strategies for Matchmakers
We describe a paradigm for content-focused matchmaking, based on a recently proposed model for constraint acquisition-and-satisfaction. Matchmaking agents are conceived as constraint-based solvers that interact with other, possibly human, agents (Customers). The Matchmaker provides potential solutions ("suggestions") based on partial knowledge, while gaining further information about the proble...
متن کاملCompeting Matchmakers: An Experimental Analysis
Platform competition is ubiquitous, yet platform market structure is little understood. Theory models typically su¤er from equilibrium multiplicity platforms might coexist or the market might tip to either platform. We use laboratory experiments to study the outcomes of platform competition. When platforms are primarily vertically di¤erentiated, we nd that even when platform coexistence is th...
متن کاملLongins and their longin domains: regulated SNAREs and multifunctional SNARE regulators.
Longins are the only R-SNAREs that are common to all eukaryotes and are characterized by a conserved N-terminal domain with a profilin-like fold called a longin domain (LD). These domains seem to be essential for regulating membrane trafficking and they mediate unexpected biochemical functions via a range of protein-protein and intramolecular binding specificities. In addition to the longins, p...
