SNAPs, a family of NSF attachment proteins involved in intracellular membrane fusion in animals and yeast

Abstract

Three new and likely related components of the cellular fusion machinery have been purified from bovine brain cytosol, termed alpha-SNAP (35 kd), beta-SNAP (36 kd), and gamma-SNAP (39 kd). Transport between cisternae of the Golgi complex measured in vitro requires SNAP activity during the membrane fusion stage, and each SNAP is capable of binding the general cellular fusion protein NSF to Golgi membranes. The SNAP-NSF-membrane complex may be an early stage in the assembly of a proposed multisubunit "fusion machine" on the target membrane. SNAP transport factor activity is also found in yeast. Yeast cytosol prepared from a secretion mutant defective in export from the endoplasmic reticulum (sec17) lacks SNAP activity, which can be restored in vitro by the addition of pure alpha-SNAP, but not beta- or gamma-SNAPs. These data suggest that the mechanism of action of SNAPs in membrane fusion is conserved in evolution.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
