摘要: Synaptic exocytosis requires the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins syntaxin 1, SNAP-25, and synaptobrevin (VAMP). Assembly of SNAREs into a stable core complex is supposed to catalyze membrane fusion, proteoliposomes reconstituted with synaptic SNARE spontaneously fuse each other. We now show that liposome fusion mediated by inhibited botulinum neurotoxin E (BoNT/E) but can be rescued supplementing C-terminal portion SNAP-25. Furthermore, prevented SNAP-25-specific antibody known block in chromaffin cells, it competed for fragments R-SNAREs 2, endobrevin/VAMP-8, tomosyn. No accumulation clustered vesicles observed during reaction. Rapid artificial clustering SNARE-containing enhances rate at low not saturating concentrations. conclude dominated intrinsic properties rather than preceding docking step.
