Abstract excerpt
Snapin is a 15 kDa protein present in neuronal and non-neuronal cells that has been implicated in the regulation of exocytosis and endocytosis. Protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylates Snapin at Ser-50, modulating its function. Likewise, mutation of Cys-66, which mediates protein dimerization, impairs its cellular activity. Here, we have investigated the impact of mutating these two positions on protein...
