High impact information on Snap25

  • The neuronal SNARE complex is formed via the interaction of synaptobrevin with syntaxin and SNAP-25 [1].
  • We have isolated a SNAP-25 temperature-sensitive paralytic mutant in Drosophila, SNAP-25(ts) [2].
  • In neurons, the t-SNARE SNAP-25 is essential for synaptic vesicle fusion but its exact role in this process is unknown [2].
  • Evolutionary conservation of synaptosome-associated protein 25 kDa (SNAP-25) shown by Drosophila and Torpedo cDNA clones [3].
  • None of the SNAP-25 sequences has a membrane-spanning region, but all contain a cluster of cysteine residues that can be palmitoylated for membrane attachment [3].
 

Biological context of Snap25

  • In this study, we performed a mutagenesis screen to identify new SNAP-25 alleles that fail to complement our previously isolated recessive temperature-sensitive allele of SNAP-25, SNAP-25(ts) [4].
