Characterization of two distinct binding modes between syntaxin 4 and Munc18c.
Interaction of SM (Sec1/Munc18) proteins with their cognate syntaxins represents an important regulatory mechanism of SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein-attachment protein receptor)-mediated membrane fusion. Understanding the conserved mechanisms by which SM proteins function in this process has proved challenging, largely due to an apparent lack of conservation of binding...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle munc18c and syntaxin 4 in human obesity
BACKGROUND Animal and cell culture data suggest a critical role for Munc18c and Syntaxin 4 proteins in insulin mediated glucose transport in skeletal muscle, but no studies have been published in humans. METHODS We investigated the effect of a 12 vs. 48 hr fast on insulin action and skeletal muscle Munc18c and Syntaxin 4 protein in lean and obese subjects. Healthy lean (n = 14; age = 28.0 +/-...
متن کاملTwo distinct anion-binding modes and their relative stabilities.
Two distinct hydrogen-bonding modes, end-on and end-to-end coordination, have been observed in the complexation between macrocycles and polyatomic anions such as azide and oxoanions.
متن کاملExocytosis mechanisms underlying insulin release and glucose uptake: conserved roles for Munc18c and syntaxin 4.
Type 2 diabetes has been coined "a two-hit disease," as it involves specific defects of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cells in addition to defects in peripheral tissue insulin action required for glucose uptake. Both of these processes, insulin secretion and glucose uptake, are mediated by SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein recept...
متن کاملInsulin-triggered repositioning of munc18c on syntaxin-4 in GLUT4 signalling.
One of the most important actions of insulin is the stimulation of the uptake of glucose into fat and muscle cells. Crucial to this response is the translocation of GLUT4 (glucose transporter-4) to the plasma membrane. The insulin-stimulated GLUT4 vesicle docking at the plasma membrane requires an interaction between VAMP-2 (vesicle-associated membrane protein-2) on the GLUT4 vesicle and syntax...
