Abstract excerpt
Syntaxin 1B (STX1B) is a core component of the N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex that is critical for the exocytosis of synaptic vesicles in the presynapse. SNARE-mediated vesicle fusion is assisted by Munc18-1, which recruits STX1B in the auto-inhibited conformation, while Munc13 catalyses the fast and efficient pairing of helices during SNARE complex formation....
