Abstract excerpt
Complexin-1 is a SNARE effector protein that decreases spontaneous neurotransmitter release and enhances evoked release. Complexin binds to the fully assembled four-helical neuronal SNARE core complex as revealed in competing molecular models derived from x-ray crystallography. Presently, it is unclear how complexin binding to the postfusion complex accounts for its effects upon spontaneous and evoked release...
