THREE DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE N-TERMINAL DOMAIN OF SYNTAXIN 1A
Overview
Syntaxin 1A plays a central role in neurotransmitter release through, multiple protein-protein interactions. We have used NMR spectroscopy to, identify an autonomously folded N-terminal domain in syntaxin 1A and to, elucidate its three-dimensional structure. This 120-residue N-terminal, domain is conserved in plasma membrane syntaxins but not in other, syntaxins, indicating a specific role in exocytosis. The domain contains, three long alpha helices that form an up-and-down bundle with a, left-handed twist. A striking residue conservation is observed throughout, a long groove that is likely to provide a specific surface for, protein-protein interactions. A highly acidic region binds to the C2A, domain of synaptotagmin I in a Ca2+-dependent interaction that may serve, as an electrostatic switch in neurotransmitter release.
