Abstract excerpt
Synaptotagmin 1 (Syt1) is a synaptic vesicle integral membrane protein that regulates neurotransmitter release by activating fast synchronous fusion and suppressing slower asynchronous release. The cytoplasmic C2 domains of Syt1 interact with SNAREs and plasma membrane phospholipids in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner and can substitute for full-length Syt1 in in vitro membrane fusion assays. To determine whether...
