Abstract excerpt
Priming of synaptic vesicles (SVs) is essential for synaptic transmission. UNC-13 proteins are required for priming. Current models propose that UNC-13 stabilizes the open conformation of Syntaxin, in which the SNARE helix is available for interactions with Synaptobrevin and SNAP-25. Here we show that Tomosyn inhibits SV priming. Tomosyn contains a SNARE motif, which forms an inhibitory SNARE complex with...
