SNAREs and traffic.
نویسنده
چکیده
SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors) are now generally accepted to be the major players in the final stage of the docking and the subsequent fusion of diverse vesicle-mediated transport events. The SNARE-mediated process is conserved evolutionally from yeast to human, as well as mechanistically and structurally across different transport events in eukaryotic cells. In the post-genomic era, a fairly complete list of "all" SNAREs in several organisms (including human) can now be made. This review aims to summarize the key properties and the mechanism of action of SNAREs in mammalian cells.

Two syntaxin homologues in the TGN/endosomal system of yeast.
Intracellular membrane traffic is thought to be regulated in part by SNAREs, integral membrane proteins on transport vesicles (v-SNAREs) and target organelles (t-SNAREs) that bind to each other and mediate bilayer fusion. All known SNARE-mediated fusion events involve a member of the syntaxin family of t-SNAREs. Sequence comparisons identify eight such proteins encoded in the yeast genome, of w...

Volume 2 • Issue 2 • 1000e122 J Plant Biochem Physiol ISSN: 2329-9029 JPBP, an open access journal SNAREs (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor adaptor protein receptors) are small polypeptides characterized by a specific domain called SNARE motif. This can form a coiled-coil structure and interacts with other SNARE motifs via hetero-oligomeric interactions to form highly stable protein-protein in...
متن کاملThe Saccharomyces cerevisiae v-SNARE Vti1p is required for multiple membrane transport pathways to the vacuole.
The interaction between v-SNAREs on transport vesicles and t-SNAREs on target membranes is required for membrane traffic in eukaryotic cells. Here we identify Vti1p as the first v-SNARE protein found to be required for biosynthetic traffic into the yeast vacuole, the equivalent of the mammalian lysosome. Certain vti1-ts yeast mutants are defective in alkaline phosphatase transport from the Golg...
متن کاملDefining new SNARE functions: the i-SNARE
SNAREs (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor adaptor protein receptors) have been often seen to have a dishomogeneous distribution on membranes and are apparently present in excess of the amount required to assure correct vesicle traffic. It was also shown in few cases that SNARE on the target membrane (t-SNARE) with a fusogenic role, can become non-fusogenic when overexpressed. When SNAREs concen...
متن کاملCFTR chloride channels are regulated by a SNAP-23/syntaxin 1A complex.
Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) mediate membrane fusion reactions in eukaryotic cells by assembling into complexes that link vesicle-associated SNAREs with SNAREs on target membranes (t-SNAREs). Many SNARE complexes contain two t-SNAREs that form a heterodimer, a putative intermediate in SNARE assembly. Individual t-SNAREs (e.g., syntaxin 1A) also...
متن کاملIntracellular redirection of plasma membrane trafficking after loss of epithelial cell polarity.
In polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells, components of the plasma membrane fusion machinery, the t-SNAREs syntaxin 2, 3, and 4 and SNAP-23, are differentially localized at the apical and/or basolateral plasma membrane domains. Here we identify syntaxin 11 as a novel apical and basolateral plasma membrane t-SNARE. Surprisingly, all of these t-SNAREs redistribute to intracellular ...
