The transition of the Munc18-1/syntaxin-1 complex to the SNARE complex, a key step
involved in exocytosis, is regulated by Munc13-1, SNAP-25 and synaptobrevin-2, but the …

Membrane fusion plays a lead role in the transport of vesicles, neurotransmission,
mitochondrial dynamics, and viral infection. There are fusion proteins that catalyze and …

Neurotransmitter release by Ca2+‐triggered synaptic vesicle exocytosis is essential for
information transmission in the nervous system. The soluble N‐ethylmaleimide sensitive …

The soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein (SNAP) receptor
(SNARE) proteins play a central role in most forms of intracellular membrane trafficking, a …

Vesicle fusion is mediated by an assembly of SNARE proteins between opposing
membranes, but it is unknown whether transmembrane domains (TMDs) of SNARE proteins …

Intracellular vesicle fusion is mediated by soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor
attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) and Sec1/Munc18 (SM) proteins. It is generally …
