AMINO TERMINAL DOMAIN OF THE N-ETHYLMALEIMIDE SENSITIVE FUSION PROTEIN (NSF)

Overview

The cytosolic ATPase N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF), disassembles complexes of membrane-bound proteins known as SNAREs, an, activity essential for vesicular trafficking. The amino-terminal domain of, NSF (NSF-N) is required for the interaction of NSF with the SNARE complex, through the adaptor protein alpha-SNAP. The crystal structure of NSF-N, reveals two subdomains linked by a single stretch of polypeptide. A polar, interface between the two subdomains indicates that they can move with, respect to one another during the catalytic cycle of NSF. Structure-based, sequence alignments indicate that in addition to NSF orthologues, the p97, family of ATPases contain an amino-terminal domain of similar structure.
