Abstract excerpt
The SNARE complex, involved in vesicular trafficking and exocytosis, is composed of proteins in the vesicular membrane (v-SNAREs) that intertwine with proteins of the target membrane (t-SNAREs). Our results show that modified large dense-core neurosecretory granules (NSGs), isolated from the bovine neurohypophysis, spontaneously fuse with a planar lipid membrane containing only the t-SNARE syntaxin 1A. This...
