X-RAY STRUCTURE OF THE NEURONAL COMPLEXIN/SNARE COMPLEX FROM THE SQUID LOLIGO PEALEIX-RAY STRUCTURE OF THE NEURONAL COMPLEXIN/SNARE COMPLEX FROM THE SQUID LOLIGO PEALEI
Structural highlights
Function[SYB_DORPE] Intrinsic membrane protein of small synaptic vesicles. [CPLX_DORPE] Positively regulates a late step in synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedNerve terminals release neurotransmitters from vesicles into the synaptic cleft upon transient increases in intracellular Ca(2+). This exocytotic process requires the formation of trans SNARE complexes and is regulated by accessory proteins including the complexins. Here we report the crystal structure of a squid core complexin-SNARE complex at 2.95-A resolution. A helical segment of complexin binds in anti-parallel fashion to the four-helix bundle of the core SNARE complex and interacts at its C terminus with syntaxin and synaptobrevin around the ionic zero layer of the SNARE complex. We propose that this structure is part of a multiprotein fusion machinery that regulates vesicle fusion at a late pre-fusion stage. Accordingly, Ca(2+) may initiate membrane fusion by acting directly or indirectly on complexin, thus allowing the conformational transitions of the trans SNARE complex that are thought to drive membrane fusion.
