Regulated secretion: SNARE density, vesicle fusion and calcium dependence

Abstract: SNAREs such as VAMP, SNAP-25 and syntaxin are essential for intracellular trafficking, but what are their exact molecular roles and how are their interactions with other proteins manifest? Capitalizing on the differential sensitivity of SNAREs to exogenous proteases, we quantified the selective removal of identified SNAREs from native secretory vesicles without loss of fusion competence. Using previously established fusion assays and a high sensitivity immunoblotting protocol, we analyzed the relationship betw… Show more

“…CSC and CV preparations CV-PM (cell surface complex; CSC) and CV preparations were isolated from unfertilized sea urchin (Srongylocentrotus purpuratus, Westwind, BC, Canada) eggs as previously described [6][7][8][9][14][15][16]. All treatments and fusion assays were carried out in baseline intracellular medium (BIM; 210 mM potassium glutamate, 500 mM glycine, 10 mM NaCl, 10 mM Pipes, 0.05 mM CaCl 2 , 1 mM MgCl 2 , 1 mM EGTA; pH 6.7; [23]) supplemented with 2.5 mM ATP and protease inhibitors, unless otherwise stated.…”

“…The system can be further refined as isolated CV undergo fast, Ca 2+ -triggered fusion with one another [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] and even with pure lipid membranes [12,17], indicating that CV contain the minimal essential molecular components for intermembrane attachment, Ca 2+ sensing, and membrane fusion. CV are thus a high purity, robust, stage-specific preparation of release-ready secretory vesicles with which to analyze the mechanisms essential to Ca 2+ -triggered membrane fusion [6,7,[14][15][16].…”

“…CSC and CV preparations, treatments, and fusion assays CSC/CV were isolated from fresh and 20-h incubated eggs using standard protocols [27,30,31]. Acute treatments and fusion assays were carried out in baseline intracellular media (BIM-210 mM potassium glutamate, 500 mM glycine, 10 mM NaCl, 10 mM 1,4-piperazinediethanesulfonic acid (PIPES), 1 mM MgCl 2 , 0.05 mM CaCl 2 , 1 mM ethyleneglycoltetraacetic acid (EGTA); pH 6.7) with the addition of protease inhibitors and 2.5 mM adenosine triphosphate (ATP) [30].…”

Cinnamycin was delivered to CV suspensions (optical density (OD) 405 0.4) from DMSO/BIM (1:9) stocks, while neomycin was delivered from an aqueous solution (OD 405 0.4).…”
