Abstract excerpt
Membrane fusion requires the formation of four-helical bundles comprised of the SNARE proteins syntaxin, vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP), and the synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25). Botulinum neurotoxin E cleaves the C-terminal coil of SNAP-25, inhibiting exocytosis of norepinephrine from permeabilized PC12 cells. Addition of a 26-mer peptide comprising the C terminus of SNAP-25 that...
