Multiple SNARE interactions of an SM protein: Sed5p/Sly1p binding is dispensable for transport

The EMBO Journal
Renwang Peng, Dieter Gallwitz

Abstract

Sec1/Munc18 (SM) proteins are central to intracellular transport and neurotransmitter release but their exact role is still elusive. Several SM proteins, like the neuronal N-Sec1 and the yeast Sly1 protein, bind their cognate t-SNAREs with high affinity. This has been thought to be critical for their function. Here, we show that various mutant forms of Sly1p and the Golgi-localized syntaxin Sed5p, which abolish their high-affinity interaction, are fully functional in vivo, indicating that the tight interaction of the two molecules per se is not relevant for proper function. Mutant Sly1p unable to bind Sed5p is excluded from core SNARE complexes, also demonstrating that Sly1p function is not directly coupled to assembled SNARE complexes thought to execute membrane fusion. We also find that wild-type Sly1p and mutant Sly1p unable to bind Sed5p directly interact with selected ER-to-Golgi and intra-Golgi nonsyntaxin SNAREs. The newly identified, direct interactions of the SM protein with nonsytaxin SNAREs might provide a molecular mechanism by which SNAREs can be activated to engage in pairing and assemble into fusogenic SNARE complexes.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
