Cis- and trans-membrane interactions of synaptotagmin-1.
In neurotransmission synaptotagmin-1 tethers synaptic vesicles to the presynaptic plasma membrane by binding to acidic membrane lipids and SNAREs and promotes rapid SNARE-mediated fusion upon Ca(2+) triggering. However, recent studies suggested that upon membrane contact synaptotagmin may not only bind in trans to the target membrane but also in cis to its own membrane. Using a sensitive membra...
متن کاملCis and trans interactions between atlastin molecules during membrane fusion.
Atlastin (ATL), a membrane-anchored GTPase that mediates homotypic fusion of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes, is required for formation of the tubular network of the peripheral ER. How exactly ATL mediates membrane fusion is only poorly understood. Here we show that fusion is preceded by the transient tethering of ATL-containing vesicles caused by the dimerization of ATL molecules in oppos...
متن کاملMembrane-embedded synaptotagmin penetrates cis or trans target membranes and clusters via a novel mechanism.
The synaptic vesicle protein synaptotagmin I has been proposed to serve as a Ca(2+) sensor for rapid exocytosis. Synaptotagmin spans the vesicle membrane once and possesses a cytoplasmic domain largely comprised of two C2 domains designated C2A and C2B. We have determined how deep the Ca(2+)-binding loops of Ca(2+).C2A penetrate into the lipid bilayer and report mutations in synaptotagmin that ...
متن کاملSynaptotagmin 1 and Ca2+ drive trans SNARE zippering
Synaptotagmin 1 (Syt1) is a major Ca(2+)-sensor that evokes neurotransmitter release. Here we used site-specific fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay to investigate the effects of Syt1 on SNAREpin assembly. C2AB, a soluble version of Syt1, had virtually no stimulatory effect on the rate of the FRET at N-terminus of SNARE complex both with and without Ca(2+), indicating C2AB does ...
متن کاملpreparation of epoxy alcohols from cis and trans 2-(1-cyclohexenyl cyclohexanol and 2-cyclohexylidene cyclohexanone
epoxyalcohols are useful intermediates in complex organic synthesis, and recently they have been recognized as versatile intermediates for synthesis of natural products. the treatments of cis and trans 2-(1-cyclohexenyl) cyclohexanol, separately with paranirto perbenzoic acid gave the corresponding 2-(1- cyclohexenyl) cyclohexanol oxide. on the other hand, 2-cyclohexylidene cyclohexanol oxide w...
