Show abstract
Neurotransmitter release is mediated by the synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Important proteins in this process have been identified including the molecular machine Synaptic-soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment receptor (SNARE) proteins, and other regulators. Complexin (Cpx) is one of the vital regulators in this process. The functions of Cpx are proposed to maintain a proper primed vesicle pool by preventing its premature depletion, which facilitates the vesicle fusion in the presence of Ca2+. However, the molecular mechanism remains unclear. Using dual-trap optical tweezers, we detected the interaction of complexin-1 (CpxI) with SNARE. We found that the CpxI stabilizes partially folded SNARE complexes by competing with C-terminal of Vamp protein and interacting with the C-terminal of t-SNARE complex.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
