Cryo-EM structure of SNAP-SNARE assembly in 20S particle.


ABSTRACT: N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) and ? soluble NSF attachment proteins (?-SNAPs) work together within a 20S particle to disassemble and recycle the SNAP receptor (SNARE) complex after intracellular membrane fusion. To understand the disassembly mechanism of the SNARE complex by NSF and ?-SNAP, we performed single-particle cryo-electron microscopy analysis of 20S particles and determined the structure of the ?-SNAP-SNARE assembly portion at a resolution of 7.35 Å. The structure illustrates that four ?-SNAPs wrap around the single left-handed SNARE helical bundle as a right-handed cylindrical assembly within a 20S particle. A conserved hydrophobic patch connecting helices 9 and 10 of each ?-SNAP forms a chock protruding into the groove of the SNARE four-helix bundle. Biochemical studies proved that this structural element was critical for SNARE complex disassembly. Our study suggests how four ?-SNAPs may coordinate with the NSF to tear the SNARE complex into individual proteins.

N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) and α soluble NSF attachment proteins (α-SNAPs) work together within a 20S particle to disassemble and recycle the SNAP receptor (SNARE) complex after intracellular membrane fusion. To understand the disassembly mechanism of the SNARE complex by NSF and α-SNAP, we performed single-particle cryo-electron microscopy analysis of 20S particles and determined the structure of the α-SNAP-SNARE assembly portion at a resolution of 7.35 Å. The structure illustrates  ...[more]
