摘要
alpha-SNAP and NSF are thought to act as soluble factors, which transiently bind to a complex formed between syntaxin and SNAP-25 located at the plasma membrane and synaptobrevin at the secretory vesicle membrane, at the moment of exocytosis. Here we present data which permit the novel conclusion that alpha-SNAP and NSF are not soluble in adrenal chromaffin cells but are rather membrane-bound in particular to undocked chromaffin vesicles. Evidence for this new paradigm is derived from several experimental approaches. First, alpha-SNAP and NSF were found predominantly at cellular membranes and not in the cytosol of cracked chromaffin cells. Second, alpha-SNAP and NSF were not released from membranes by Mg(2+)ATP, which causes priming of vesicles. Third, immune electron microscopy and immunoblotting of chromaffin vesicles purified by immunoisolation or density gradient centrifugation revealed the presence of alpha-SNAP and NSF together with typical vesicular proteins such as synaptobrevin and synaptotagmin. In the sucrose gradient 30% alpha-SNAP and 27% NSF were recovered with chromaffin vesicles. Bound alpha-SNAP was quantified (14 molecules/vesicle), and binding was characterized with recombinant hiss-tagged alpha-SNAP. Overlay blots revealed that alpha-SNAP is bound to vesicular SNAP-25 and endogenous NSF. Ow data show that mature chromaffin vesicles already contain specifically bound alpha-SNAP and NSF before docking at the plasmalemma.
