A dual function for Munc-18 in exocytosis of PC12 cells.
Munc-18 interacts with the SNARE protein syntaxin and is supposed to influence transmitter release by controlling the formation of exocytosis-relevant SNARE complexes. Here, we used combined biochemical and physiological analyses to study the role of the Munc-18/syntaxin interaction in large dense core vesicle (LDCV) exocytosis of neuroendocrine PC12 cells. We compared two Munc-18 mutants carry...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of Munc-18/n-Sec1/rbSec1 by protein kinase C: its implication in regulating the interaction of Munc-18/n-Sec1/rbSec1 with syntaxin.
Munc-18/n-Sec1/rbSec1 interacts with syntaxin and this interaction inhibits the association of vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)/synaptobrevin and synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) with syntaxin. Syntaxin, VAMP, and SNAP-25 serve as soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein attachment protein (SNAP) receptors essential for docking and/or fusion of synaptic ves...
متن کاملChaperoning of closed syntaxin-3 through Lys46 and Glu59 in domain 1 of Munc18 proteins is indispensable for mast cell exocytosis.
Understanding how Munc18 proteins govern exocytosis is crucial because mutations of this protein cause severe secretion deficits in neuronal and immune cells. Munc18-2 has indispensable roles in the degranulation of mast cell, partly by binding and chaperoning a subset of syntaxin isoforms. However, the key syntaxin that, crucially, participates in the degranulation – whose levels and intracell...
متن کاملEstradiol differentially modulates the exocytotic proteins SNAP-25 and munc-18 in pituitary gonadotrophs.
Long-term treatment with estradiol increases LH secretion from female gonadotrophs. The mechanisms are not fully clarified yet. Our previous data indicated that sexual steroids might affect late steps in GnRH signal transduction such as exocytosis. The secretion of hormones from neuroendocrine cells requires the merger of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane. This regulated exocytosis is...
