Syntaxin
FunctionSyntaxin (Stx) are membrane-integrated proteins that are instrumental in exocytosis of vesicles. Stx-1 is essential for the formation of the SNARE complex involved in the fusion machinery in the brain. Stx-1 forms a 4-helical bundle complex with proteins SNAP-25 and VAMP2 which drives fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane[1]. The coiled-coil bundle structure is formed by the interactions of the complex SNARE motifs[2]. RelevanceThe blockade of Stx-1 inhibits glioblastoma tumor growth and may represent a novel therapeutic tool against this fatal tumor[3]. Structural highlightsSyntaxin 1a SNARE motif complex with VAMP2 SNARE motif and SNAP25 SNARE motif (PDB code 3hd7). The interactions of the syntaxin 1a and VAMP2 SNARE motives consist of hydrogen bond and polar interactions[4]. The interactions of the syntaxin 1a with AMP2 SNARE motif and SNAP25 SNARE motives (PDB code 3ipd).
