During fusion, three to four SNAREs with a Q(a)-, Q(b)-, Q(c)- and R-SNARE-motif form a complex. The core complex represents a Q(a)Q(b)Q(c)R-SNARE-motif bundle, most certainly assembling in steps. However, to date it is unknown which intermediate SNARE complex observed in vitro also exists in vivo. Here we have applied comparative fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP)-studies as a novel approach for studying in intact cells a SNARE interaction involved in synaptic vesicle fusion [catalyzed by syntaxin 1A (Q(a)), SNAP25 (Q(b)/Q(c)) and synaptobrevin 2 (R)]. We find that the Q(b)-SNARE-motif of SNAP25 interacts reversibly with clustered syntaxin. The interaction requires most of the alpha helical Q(b)-SNARE-motif and depends on its position within the molecule. We conclude that a zippered Q(a)Q(b)-SNARE complex represents a short-lived SNARE intermediate in intact cells, most likely providing an initial molecular platform toward membrane fusion."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1600-0854.2009.01020.x"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142960"],["dc.identifier.isi","000274454500008"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20002656"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/421"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10 / Funder: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft [LA1272/2-3]"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell Publishing, Inc"],["dc.relation.issn","1398-9219"],["dc.title","Structure and Dynamics of a Two-Helix SNARE Complex in Live Cells"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2010Review [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","116"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","2"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Physiology"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","124"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","25"],["dc.contributor.author","Lang, Thorsten"],["dc.contributor.author","Rizzoli, Silvio"],["dc.date.accessioned","2017-09-07T11:46:08Z"],["dc.date.available","2017-09-07T11:46:08Z"],["dc.date.issued","2010"],["dc.description.abstract","Fluorescence microscopy is powerful for analyzing the composition and dynamics of cellular elements, but studying precise molecule patterns is precluded due to diffraction limited resolution.

Here, we introduce several approaches based on click chemistry, through which we study the distribution of membrane proteins in living cells, as well as in membrane sheets. We found that the plasma membrane proteins form multi-protein assemblies that are long lived (minutes), and in which protein diffusion is restricted. The formation of the assemblies is dependent on cholesterol. They are separated and anchored by the actin cytoskeleton.

Using a newly developed microscopy-based assay, we have investigated the SNARE specificity of homotypic early endosomal fusion.. We show that early endosomes contain multiple sets of SNAREs, including, in addition to the putative early endosomal SNAREs, those involved in exocytosis and in fusion of late endosomes. We demonstrate that fusion is largely mediated by a complex formed by syntaxin 13, syntaxin 6, vti1a, and VAMP4, whereas the exocytic and late endosomal SNAREs play little or no role in the reaction. In contrast, proteoliposomes reconstituted with early endosomal SNAREs promiscuously fuse with liposomes containing exocytotic or late endosomal SNAREs.
