Abstract excerpt
SNARE proteins form bundles of four alpha-helical SNARE domains with conserved polar amino acids, 3Q and 1R, at the "0-layer" of the bundle. Previous studies have confirmed the importance of 3Q.1R for fusion but have not shown whether it regulates SNARE complex assembly or the downstream functions of assembled SNAREs. Yeast vacuole fusion requires regulatory lipids (ergosterol, phosphoinositides, and...
