Neurotransmitter release requires the specific docking of synaptic vesicles to the presynaptic plasma membrane followed by a calcium-triggered fusion event. Herein we report a previously unsuspected interaction of the synaptic vesicle protein and likely calcium sensor synaptotagmin with the plasma membrane t-SNARE SNAP-25. This interaction appears to resolve the apparent paradox that synaptic vesicles are capable of docking even when VAMP (vesicle-associated membrane protein) or syntaxin is cleaved or deleted and suggests that two species of v-SNAREs (VAMP and synaptotagmin) and two species of t-SNAREs (SNAP-25 and syntaxin) interact to functionally dock synaptic vesicles.
神经递质的释放需要突触小泡与突触前质膜进行特异性对接,随后发生钙触发的融合事件。在此,我们报告了突触小泡蛋白(可能也是钙传感器)突触结合蛋白与质膜t-SNARE蛋白SNAP-25之间一种此前未被怀疑的相互作用。这种相互作用似乎解决了一个明显的矛盾,即即使VAMP(囊泡相关膜蛋白)或 syntaxin被切割或缺失,突触小泡仍能够对接,这表明两种v-SNARE蛋白(VAMP和突触结合蛋白)和两种t-SNARE蛋白(SNAP-25和syntaxin)相互作用,在功能上使突触小泡对接。
