Abstract excerpt
Synaptotagmin is a proposed Ca2+ sensor on the vesicle for regulated exocytosis and exhibits Ca2+-dependent binding to phospholipids, syntaxin, and SNAP-25 in vitro, but the mechanism by which Ca2+ triggers membrane fusion is uncertain. Previous studies suggested that SNAP-25 plays a role in the Ca2+ regulation of secretion. We found that synaptotagmins I and IX associate with SNAP-25 during Ca2+-dependent...
