Testing the 3Q:1R “Rule”: Mutational Analysis of the Ionic “Zero” Layer in the Yeast Exocytic SNARE Complex Reveals No Requirement for Arginine
1 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
The crystal structure of the synaptic SNARE complex reveals a parallel four-helix coiled-coil arrangement; buried in the hydrophobic core of the complex is an unusual ionic layer composed of three glutamines and one arginine, each provided by a separate alpha-helix. The presence of glutamine or arginine residues in this position is highly conserved across the t- and v-SNARE families, and it was recently suggested...
