CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE VESICULAR TRANSPORT PROTEIN SEC17
Structural highlights
Function[SEC17_YEAST] SNARE complex protein that binds to cis-SNARE complexes on membranes and is required for vesicular transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus and for homotypic vacuole fusion. During the priming step of membrane fusion, is released from cis-SNARE complexes by SEC18 to establish a pool of unpaired SNAREs, which are required for interactions in trans during docking and fusion steps. Can displace HOPS from SNARE complexes, which may be a prerequisite for trans-SNARE complex disassembly and subsequent rounds of priming, docking and fusion.[1] [2] [3] [4] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

They activate and recycle SNARE proteins by serving as adaptors between SNAREs and the cytosolic chaperone NSF. We have determined the crystal structure of Sec17, the yeast homolog of alpha-SNAP, to 2.9 A resolution. Sec17 is composed of an N-terminal twisted sheet of alpha-helical hairpins and a C-terminal alpha-helical bundle. The N-terminal sheet has local similarity to the tetratricopeptide repeats from protein phosphatase 5 but has a different overall twist. Sec17 also shares structural features with HEAT and clathrin heavy chain repeats. Possible models of SNAP:SNARE binding suggest that SNAPs may function as lever arms, transmitting forces generated by conformational changes in NSF/Sec18 to drive disassembly of SNARE complexes.
