Abstract excerpt
Neurosecretion involves fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane. Such membrane fusion is mediated by the SNARE complex, which is composed of the vesicle-associated protein synaptobrevin (VAMP2), and the plasma membrane proteins syntaxin-1A and SNAP-25. Although clearly important at the point of membrane fusion, the precise structural and functional requirements for the transmembrane domains (TMDs) of SNAREs...
