Abstract excerpt
The Ca(2+)-triggered release of neurotransmitters is mediated by fusion of synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane. The molecular machinery that translates the Ca(2+) signal into exocytosis is only beginning to emerge. The soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins syntaxin, SNAP-25, and synaptobrevin are central components of the fusion apparatus. Assembly of a...
