Membrane syntaxin plays essential roles in exocytosis in eukaryotic cells. The conservative H(abc) domain in plasma membrane syntaxins implies important roles for syntaxin targeting and function. Our previous study showed H(abc) domain was necessary for the trafficking and cluster distribution of syntaxin 1A on the plasma membrane. Here we identified which of the three domains (H(a), H(b) and H(c)) was essential for Stx1A trafficking and clustering. We found that, in INS-1 cells, the mutant truncated with either H(a), H(b) or H(c) domain could be sorted to the cell surface by a different mechanism compared to that of whole H(abc) truncated mutant. In contrast to wild type Stx1A, none of the mutants showed cluster distribution at the functional sites, suggesting that the physiological localization of Stx1A relies on intact H(abc) domain. Furthermore Munc18-1 is found not to be essential for Stx1A cluster distribution, despite important role in stabilizing membrane delivery of Stx1A.

D013499 Surface Properties Characteristics or attributes of the outer boundaries of objects, including molecules. Properties, Surface,Property, Surface,Surface Property
D017434 Protein Structure, Tertiary The level of protein structure in which combinations of secondary protein structures (ALPHA HELICES; BETA SHEETS; loop regions, and AMINO ACID MOTIFS) pack together to form folded shapes. Disulfide bridges between cysteines in two different parts of the polypeptide chain along with other interactions between the chains play a role in the formation and stabilization of tertiary structure. Tertiary Protein Structure,Protein Structures, Tertiary,Tertiary Protein Structures
D050600 SNARE Proteins A superfamily of small proteins which are involved in the MEMBRANE FUSION events, intracellular protein trafficking and secretory processes. They share a homologous SNARE motif. The SNARE proteins are divided into subfamilies: QA-SNARES; QB-SNARES; QC-SNARES; and R-SNARES. The formation of a SNARE complex (composed of one each of the four different types SNARE domains (Qa, Qb, Qc, and R)) mediates MEMBRANE FUSION. Following membrane fusion SNARE complexes are dissociated by the NSFs (N-ETHYLMALEIMIDE-SENSITIVE FACTORS), in conjunction with SOLUBLE NSF ATTACHMENT PROTEIN, i.e., SNAPs (no relation to SNAP 25.) SNAP Receptor,SNARE Protein,NSF Attachment Protein Receptor,Receptor, SNAP,SNAP Receptors,SNARE,SNAREs,Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-Sensitive-Factor Attachment Protein Receptor,Target Membrane SNARE Proteins,Target SNARE Proteins,Vesicle SNARE Proteins,Vesicular SNARE Proteins,t-SNARE,tSNAREs,v-SNARE,v-SNAREs,Protein, SNARE,SNARE Proteins, Target,SNARE Proteins, Vesicle,SNARE Proteins, Vesicular,Soluble N ethylmaleimide Sensitive Factor Attachment Protein Receptor,v SNAREs
