    SM proteins Sly1 and Vps33 co-assemble with Sec17 and SNARE complexes to oppose SNARE disassembly by Sec18

    Braden T Lobingier, Daniel P Nickerson ... Alexey J Merz
    Sec1/Munc18 (SM) proteins shield SNARE complexes from NSF/Sec18-mediated disassembly through cooperative binding interactions with SNARE complexes and the universal co-chaperone α-SNAP/Sec17.

    Stabilization and structural analysis of a membrane-associated hIAPP aggregation intermediate

    Diana C Rodriguez Camargo, Kyle J Korshavn ... Ayyalusamy Ramamoorthy
    The ability of lipid nanodiscs to trap different types of amyloid intermediates, as successfully demonstrated in this study for human-IAPP, could become one of the most powerful approaches to dissect the complicated misfolding pathways of protein aggregation.

    Synergistic actions of v-SNARE transmembrane domains and membrane-curvature modifying lipids in neurotransmitter release

    Madhurima Dhara, Maria Mantero Martinez ... Dieter Bruns
    Naturally-occurring v-SNARE TMD variants differentially regulate fusion pore dynamics and cooperate with phospholipids in supporting membrane curvature at the fusion pore neck.

    Kinetics of HIV-1 capsid uncoating revealed by single-molecule analysis

    Chantal L Márquez, Derrick Lau ... Till Böcking
    Disassembly of the HIV-1 capsid is a catastrophic process, whereby initiation and propagation can be controlled independently by molecules that bind to different features of the capsid lattice.

    Molecular determinants of complexin clamping and activation function

    Manindra Bera, Sathish Ramakrishnan ... James E Rothman
    Complexin, in conjunction with Synaptotagmin, clamps the SNARE-assembly process under resting conditions and promote vesicle fusion in response to calcium signal.
