SNAP-23N Structure

Overview

SNARE proteins mediate intracellular membrane fusion by forming a, coiled-coil complex to merge opposing membranes. A "fusion-active", neuronal SNARE complex is a parallel four-helix bundle containing two, coiled-coil domains from SNAP-25 and one coiled-coil domain each from, syntaxin-1a and VAMP-2. "Prefusion" assembly intermediate complexes can, also form from these SNAREs. We studied the N-terminal coiled-coil domain, of SNAP-23 (SNAP-23N), a non-neuronal homologue of SNAP-25, and its, interaction with other coiled-coil domains. SNAP-23N can assemble, spontaneously with the coiled-coil domains from SNAP-23C, syntaxin-4, and, VAMP-3 to form a heterotetrameric complex. Unexpectedly, pure SNAP-23N, crystallizes as a coiled-coil homotetrameric complex. The four helices, have a parallel orientation and are symmetrical about the long axis. The, complex is stabilized through the interaction of conserved hydrophobic, residues comprising the a and d positions of the coiled-coil heptad, repeats. In addition, a central, highly conserved glutamine residue, (Gln-48) is buried within the interface by hydrogen bonding between, glutamine side chains derived from adjacent subunits and to solvent, molecules. A comparison of the SNAP-23N structure to other SNARE complex, structures reveals how a simple coiled-coil motif can form diverse SNARE, complexes.
