Yeast two-hybrid screening using syntaxin 4 identified SNAP-23, a ubiquitous homolog of the synaptic SNAP-25. Like SNAP-25, SNAP-23 binds multiple isoforms of VAMP and syntaxin. Hence, by analogy to the synapse, SNARE complexes containing non-neuronal VAMP, syntaxin, and SNAP-23 may control Golgi→plasma membrane trafficking in non-neuronal tissues.

A novel syntaxin family member, Ufe1p, was localized to the ER and found to function in the retrieval of the HDEL (single-letter amino acid code) receptor and of proteins containing dibasic retrieval signals from the Golgi back to the ER. Ufe1p was proposed to represent a receptor for retrograde Golgi-derived vesicles. Thus, retrograde ER→Golgi transport appears to involve SNARE mechanisms, and involves a distinct subset of SNARE proteins.

The PEP12 gene was cloned and found to encode a syntaxin-like protein that fractionated at the same density as the yeast prevacuole (which is equivalent to the mammalian endosome). Pep12p was proposed to represent an endosomal t-SNARE for the docking/fusion of Golgi-derived vesicles.

Characterization of a mammalian sequence homolog of Pep12p, termed syntaxin 6, revealed significant sequence homology of syntaxin 6 to SNAP-25 as well. Syntaxin 6 was localized to the Golgi area, consistent with a role in Golgi→endosome transport, as proposed for Pep12p. Syntaxin 6 bound α-SNAP, probably through a predicted coiled-coil domain as for other syntaxin family members.

Nature 1997, 387:199-202. v-SNAREs and t-SNAREs resembling those involved in heterotypic fusion reactions were required for homotypic fusion, demonstrating that similar principles govern vesicle transport and organelle assembly. Although both SNAREs are normally present on vacuolar membranes, vacuoles containing only the v-SNARE (Nyv1p) fuse with vacuoles containing only the t-SNARE (Vam37p). A requirement for SNARE proteins on both fusing membranes was directly demonstrated, verifying a central postulate in the field of membrane trafficking.

A yeast two-hybrid screen using SNAP-25 enabled the authors of this paper to find Hrs-2, a novel 115kDa cytosolic and membrane-associated ATPase. Hrs-2 binds tightly to SNAP-25 in vitro and in vivo, indicating a regulatory role in mechanisms involving SNAREs. Hrs-2 may be involved in calcium-dependent transport phenomena, as its binding to SNAP-25 was calcium- regulated and addition of excess Hrs-2 to permeable neuroendocrine cells inhibited regulated secretion.

Priming for exocytosis involved SNARE-complex rearrangements consistent with those originally observed in detergent extracts [36], Hence, ATP-dependent NSF/α-SNAP-mediated SNARE-complex disassembly is an event that prepares membranes for fusion.

The actions of NSF and a-SNAP were investigated using in vitro vacuolar fusion, in which the donor and acceptor membranes can be pre-incubated separately. The need for ATP, NSF, and a-SNAP could be completely satisfied during the pre-incubations, directly demonstrating that NSF acts before SNARE docking interactions occur. Although this would represent a major change in the way we see NSF acting, it remains to be seen whether this homotypic system faithfully represents events in heterotypic fusion.

J Cell Biol 1997, 136:307-317 Vacuolar membranes attain a dilution-resistant state upon docking in vitro; that is, after docking the concentration of donor and acceptor membranes is no longer critical for fusion. Dilution resistance and microscopic examination were used to order the requirements for NSF and Ypt7p relative to docking. NSF was required prior to Ypt7p and docking, whereas Ypt7p was required after NSF at a step coincident with docking.

Exogenously added NSF mutants inhibit endosome fusion reconstituted in vitro. Mutations affecting the first ATP-binding site had the most potent effect. The mutants only inhibited fusion when added early in the reaction, presumably because NSF binds its target membrane(s) and/or acts at a predocking step.

A variety of observations implicate syntaxin 4 and possibly VAMP2 in the insulin-regulated translocation of GLUT-4-containing vesicles to the plasma membrane in adipocytes. This specialized transport pathway may be regulated by the Sec1p-related protein Munc-1 Bc.

Antibody inhibition of GLUT-4 translocation in insulin-responsive cells implicated syntaxin 4 in this process. Interestingly, a portion of syntaxin 4 was detected on GLUT-4-containing vesicles.
