- W2099539214 abstract "This work centered on the SNARE proteins syntaxin 1, SNAP-25, and synaptobrevin 2, which drive the discharge of neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles. A relatively simple scenario for the role of SNAREs in neurotransmitter release is given by the zipper model, which assumes that the SNARE assembly proceeds from N → C terminus and the energy released during the assembly is probably sufficient to overcome the energy barrier for fusion. However, the evidence for the zipper model is largely circumstantial.Physiologically, neurotransmitter release takes place in milliseconds, but when neuronal SNAREs are reconstituted into liposomes, fusion occurs very slowly (> several minutes). The initial part of this work addressed this long-standing controversy in the SNARE field. Biochemical analysis demonstrates the sequential assembly of neuronal SNAREs. The assembly initiates with the formation of transient dimer of syntaxin and SNAP-25, which constitutes the appropriate binding site for synaptobrevin. However this binding site is also readily occupied by a second syntaxin molecule, resulting in an `off-pathway´ 2:1 syntaxin-SNAP-25 complex. In the beginning of the work we hypothesized that the liposome fusion is probably slow because of this `off-pathway´ reaction. In this study a ternary SNARE complex containing syntaxin, SNAP-25 and C-terminal portion of synaptobrevin prevented this `off-pathway´ reaction. This ΔN complex was also a structural mimic of syntaxin-SNAP-25 dimer. When this complex was reconstituted into liposomes the fusion was greatly enhanced. Therefore by providing an appropriate binding site and by preventing the `off-pathway´ reaction, SNAREs can rapidly fuse membranes. My data also demonstrates that the synaptobrevin binding site is restricted to the N-terminal portion of the Q-SNAREs. Thus, my study supports the zipper model.The other part of the work focused on the soluble SNARE regulatory proteins tomosyn and Amisyn. The initial detailed characterization of the SNARE motif of tomosyn led to the elucidation of the crystal structure of the core tomosyn SNARE complex, which is a four-helix bundle similar to that of the SNARE complex containing synaptobrevin. The tomosyn in the SNARE complex cannot be replaced by synaptobrevin and my work supports the view that tomosyn acts as a negative regulator of exocytosis. The full-length and the SNARE motif of amisyn, like tomosyn, formed a stable ternary complex with syntaxin and SNAP-25. Preliminary experiments suggested that amisyn also acts as a negative regulator of exocytosis.>" @default.
