Vesicle Priming and Depriming A SNAP Decision
نویسندگان
چکیده
Synapses have a limited pool of vesicles that are docked and primed for rapid release. In neuroendocrine cells, splice variants of the SNARE protein SNAP-25 and phosphorylation of SNAP-25 independently influence the size of the releasable vesicle pool, possibly by altering the rate of vesicle depriming. Pre- and posttranslational modifications of SNAP-25 may therefore affect synaptic strength.

Synaptobrevin N-terminally bound to syntaxin–SNAP-25 defines the primed vesicle state in regulated exocytosis
Rapid neurotransmitter release depends on the ability to arrest the SNAP receptor (SNARE)-dependent exocytosis pathway at an intermediate "cocked" state, from which fusion can be triggered by Ca(2+). It is not clear whether this state includes assembly of synaptobrevin (the vesicle membrane SNARE) to the syntaxin-SNAP-25 (target membrane SNAREs) acceptor complex or whether the reaction is arres...
متن کاملVesicle Priming in a SNAP
In this issue of Neuron, Burgalossi et al. investigate synaptic vesicle priming by using presynaptic Ca(2+) uncaging at a small, glutamatergic, central synapse. Combining this technique with mouse genetics, the authors demonstrate that vesicle priming during ongoing neural activity can be limited by the recycling of recently used SNARE complexes.
متن کاملRegulated Membrane Fusion: Molecular Mechanisms and Machinery
Background Regulated exocytosis at the neuronal synapse is a multistep process starting with synaptic vesicle tethering at the active zone followed by vesicle priming and culminating in fast calcium-triggered membrane merger. Distinct protein-protein interactions forming macromolecular assemblies control individual steps and sequentially bring the two membranes into close proximity creating a h...

Abstract Following migration into the intestinal mucosa in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), neutrophils enter the intestinal lumen and are excreted. This provides a basis for quantification of disease activity by measuring excreted label following injection of In-111-labeled neutrophils. In severe pan-colitis, 50% of the injected In-111 is typically recovered in the feces, indicating that 50% ...
متن کاملAntagonistic Regulation of Synaptic Vesicle Priming by Tomosyn and UNC-13
Priming of synaptic vesicles (SVs) is essential for synaptic transmission. UNC-13 proteins are required for priming. Current models propose that UNC-13 stabilizes the open conformation of Syntaxin, in which the SNARE helix is available for interactions with Synaptobrevin and SNAP-25. Here we show that Tomosyn inhibits SV priming. Tomosyn contains a SNARE motif, which forms an inhibitory SNARE c...
