Abstract
SM proteins including Sly1 are essential cofactors of SNARE-mediated membrane fusion. Using SNARE and Sly1 mutants and chemically defined in vitro assays, we separate and assess proposed mechanisms through which Sly1 augments fusion: (i) opening the closed conformation of the Qa-SNARE Sed5; (ii) close-range tethering of vesicles to target organelles, mediated by the Sly1-specific regulatory loop; and (iii) nucleation of productive trans-SNARE complexes. We show that all three mechanisms are important and operate in parallel, and that close-range tethering promotes trans-complex assembly when cis-SNARE assembly is a competing process. Further, we demonstrate that the autoinhibitory N-terminal Habc domain of Sed5 has at least two positive activities: it is needed for correct Sed5 localization, and it directly promotes Sly1-dependent fusion. "Split Sed5," with Habc presented solely as a soluble fragment, can function both in vitro and in vivo. Habc appears to facilitate events leading to lipid mixing rather than promoting opening or stability of the fusion pore.

Abstract
The essential Golgi protein Sly1 is a member of the Sec1/mammalian Unc-18 (SM) family of SNARE chaperones. Sly1 was originally identified through remarkable gain-of-function alleles that bypass requirements for diverse vesicle tethering factors. Employing genetic analyses and chemically defined reconstitutions of ER-Golgi fusion, we discovered that a loop conserved among Sly1 family members is not only autoinhibitory but also acts as a positive effector. An amphipathic lipid packing sensor (ALPS)-like helix within the loop directly binds high-curvature membranes. Membrane binding is required for relief of Sly1 autoinhibition and also allows Sly1 to directly tether incoming vesicles to the Qa-SNARE on the target organelle. The SLY1-20 mutation bypasses requirements for diverse tethering factors but loses this ability if the tethering activity is impaired. We propose that long-range tethers, including Golgins and multisubunit tethering complexes, hand off vesicles to Sly1, which then tethers at close range to initiate trans-SNARE complex assembly and fusion in the early secretory pathway.

Abstract
The presynaptic SNARE-complex regulator complexin (Cplx) enhances the fusogenicity of primed synaptic vesicles (SVs). Consequently, Cplx deletion impairs action potential-evoked transmitter release. Conversely, though, Cplx loss enhances spontaneous and delayed asynchronous release at certain synapse types. Using electrophysiology and kinetic modeling, we show that such seemingly contradictory transmitter release phenotypes seen upon Cplx deletion can be explained by an additional of Cplx in the control of SV priming, where its ablation facilitates the generation of a "faulty" SV fusion apparatus. Supporting this notion, a sequential two-step priming scheme, featuring reduced vesicle fusogenicity and increased transition rates into the faulty primed state, reproduces all aberrations of transmitter release modes and short-term synaptic plasticity seen upon Cplx loss. Accordingly, we propose a dual presynaptic function for the SNARE-complex interactor Cplx, one as a "checkpoint" protein that guarantees the proper assembly of the fusion machinery during vesicle priming, and one in boosting vesicle fusogenicity.

Abstract
The precise cell-to-cell communication relies on SNARE-catalyzed membrane fusion. Among ∼70 copies of synaptobrevin2 (syb2) in synaptic vesicles, only ∼3 copies are sufficient to facilitate the fusion process at the presynaptic terminal. It is unclear what dictates the number of SNARE complexes that constitute the fusion pore assembly. The structure-function relation of these dynamic pores is also unknown. Here, we demonstrate that syb2 monomers and dimers differentially engage in regulating the trans-SNARE assembly during membrane fusion. The differential recruitment of two syb2 structures at the membrane fusion site has consequences in regulating individual nascent fusion pore properties. We have identified a few syb2 transmembrane domain residues that control monomer/dimer conversion. Overall, our study indicates that syb2 monomers and dimers are differentially recruited at the release sites for regulating membrane fusion events.

Abstract
Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE)-associated proteins are a class of transmembrane proteins involved in intracellular trafficking pathways. However, the functions of many SNARE domain-containing proteins remain unclear. We have previously identified a SNARE-associated gene in alfalfa (Medicago sativa ) KILLING ME SLOWLY1 (MsKMS1 ), which is involved in various abiotic stresses. In this study, we investigated the function of MsKMS1 in the seed germination of transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum ). Phylogenetic analysis showed that MsKMS1 was homologous to the SNARE-associated or MAPR component-related proteins of other plants. Germination assays revealed that MsKMS1 negatively regulated seed germination under normal, D-mannitol and abscisic acid-induced stress conditions, yet MsKMS1 -overexpression could confer enhanced heat tolerance in transgenic tobacco. The suppressive effect on germination in MsKMS1 -overexpression lines was associated with higher abscisic acid and salicylic acid contents in seeds. This was accompanied by the upregulation of abscisic acid biosynthetic genes (ZEP and NCED ) and the downregulation of gibberellin biosynthetic genes (GA20ox2 and GA20ox3 ). Taken together, these results suggested that MsKMS1 negatively regulated seed germination by increasing abscisic acid and salicylic acid contents through the expression of genes related to abscisic acid and gibberellin biosynthesis. In addition, MsKMS1 could improve heat tolerance during the germination of transgenic tobacco seeds.

Abstract
SNAP25 is one of three neuronal SNAREs driving synaptic vesicle exocytosis. We studied three mutations in SNAP25 that cause epileptic encephalopathy: V48F, and D166Y in the synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1)-binding interface, and I67N, which destabilizes the SNARE complex. All three mutations reduced Syt1-dependent vesicle docking to SNARE-carrying liposomes and Ca2+-stimulated membrane fusion in vitro and when expressed in mouse hippocampal neurons. The V48F and D166Y mutants (with potency D166Y > V48F) led to reduced readily releasable pool (RRP) size, due to increased spontaneous (miniature Excitatory Postsynaptic Current, mEPSC) release and decreased priming rates. These mutations lowered the energy barrier for fusion and increased the release probability, which are gain-of-function features not found in Syt1 knockout (KO) neurons; normalized mEPSC release rates were higher (potency D166Y > V48F) than in the Syt1 KO. These mutations (potency D166Y > V48F) increased spontaneous association to partner SNAREs, resulting in unregulated membrane fusion. In contrast, the I67N mutant decreased mEPSC frequency and evoked EPSC amplitudes due to an increase in the height of the energy barrier for fusion, whereas the RRP size was unaffected. This could be partly compensated by positive charges lowering the energy barrier. Overall, pathogenic mutations in SNAP25 cause complex changes in the energy landscape for priming and fusion.

Abstract
Autophagy generally functions as a cellular surveillance mechanism to combat invading viruses, but viruses have evolved various strategies to block autophagic degradation and even subvert it to promote viral propagation. White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is the most highly pathogenic crustacean virus, but little is currently known about whether crustacean viruses such as WSSV can subvert autophagic degradation for escape. Here, we show that even though WSSV proliferation triggers the accumulation of autophagosomes, autophagic degradation is blocked in the crustacean species red claw crayfish. Interestingly, the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex including CqSNAP29, CqVAMP7, and the novel autophagosome SNARE protein CqSyx12 is required for autophagic flux to restrict WSSV replication, as revealed by gene silencing experiments. Simultaneously, the expressed WSSV tegument protein VP26, which likely localizes on autophagic membrane mediated by its transmembrane region, binds the Qb-SNARE domain of CqSNAP29 to competitively inhibit the binding of CqSyx12-Qa-SNARE with CqSNAP29-Qb-SNARE; this in turn disrupts the assembly of the CqSyx12-SNAP29-VAMP7 SNARE complex, which is indispensable for the proposed fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes. Consequently, the autophagic degradation of WSSV is likely suppressed by the expressed VP26 protein in vivo in crayfish, thus probably protecting WSSV components from degradation via the autophagosome-lysosome pathway, resulting in evasion by WSSV. Collectively, these findings highlight how a DNA virus can subvert autophagic degradation by impairing the assembly of the SNARE complex to achieve evasion, paving the way for understanding host-DNA virus interactions from an evolutionary point of view, from crustaceans to mammals.IMPORTANCEWhite spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is one of the largest animal DNA viruses in terms of its genome size and has caused huge economic losses in the farming of crustaceans such as shrimp and crayfish. Detailed knowledge of WSSV-host interactions is still lacking, particularly regarding viral escape from host immune clearance. Intriguingly, we found that the presence of WSSV-VP26 might inhibit the autophagic degradation of WSSV in vivo in the crustacean species red claw crayfish. Importantly, this study is the first to show that viral protein VP26 functions as a core factor to benefit WSSV escape by disrupting the assembly of the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex, which is necessary for the proposed fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes for subsequent degradation. These findings highlight a novel mechanism of DNA virus evasion by blocking SNARE complex assembly and identify viral VP26 as a key candidate for anti-WSSV targeting.

Abstract
In the Drosophila larval salivary gland, developmentally programmed fusions between lysosomes and secretory granules (SGs) and their subsequent acidification promote the maturation of SGs that are secreted shortly before puparium formation. Subsequently, ongoing fusions between non-secreted SGs and lysosomes give rise to degradative crinosomes, where the superfluous secretory material is degraded. Lysosomal fusions control both the quality and quantity of SGs, however, its molecular mechanism is incompletely characterized. Here we identify the R-SNARE Ykt6 as a novel regulator of crinosome formation, but not the acidification of maturing SGs. We show that Ykt6 localizes to Lamp1+ carrier vesicles, and forms a SNARE complex with Syntaxin 13 and Snap29 to mediate fusion with SGs. These Lamp1 carriers represent a distinct vesicle population that are functionally different from canonical Arl8+, Cathepsin L+ lysosomes, which also fuse with maturing SGs but are controlled by another SNARE complex composed of Syntaxin 13, Snap29 and Vamp7. Ykt6- and Vamp7-mediated vesicle fusions also determine the fate of SGs, as loss of either of these SNAREs prevents crinosomes from acquiring endosomal PI3P. Our results highlight that fusion events between SGs and different lysosome-related vesicle populations are critical for fine regulation of the maturation and crinophagic degradation of SGs.

Abstract
Munc18-interacting proteins (Mints) are multidomain adaptors that regulate neuronal membrane trafficking, signaling, and neurotransmission. Mint1 and Mint2 are highly expressed in the brain with overlapping roles in the regulation of synaptic vesicle fusion required for neurotransmitter release by interacting with the essential synaptic protein Munc18-1. Here, we have used AlphaFold2 to identify and then validate the mechanisms that underpin both the specific interactions of neuronal Mint proteins with Munc18-1 as well as their wider interactome. We found that a short acidic α-helical motif within Mint1 and Mint2 is necessary and sufficient for specific binding to Munc18-1 and binds a conserved surface on Munc18-1 domain3b. In Munc18-1/2 double knockout neurosecretory cells, mutation of the Mint-binding site reduces the ability of Munc18-1 to rescue exocytosis, and although Munc18-1 can interact with Mint and Sx1a (Syntaxin1a) proteins simultaneously in vitro, we find that they have mutually reduced affinities, suggesting an allosteric coupling between the proteins. Using AlphaFold2 to then examine the entire cellular network of putative Mint interactors provides a structural model for their assembly with a variety of known and novel regulatory and cargo proteins including ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF3/ARF4) small GTPases and the AP3 clathrin adaptor complex. Validation of Mint1 interaction with a new predicted binder TJAP1 (tight junction-associated protein 1) provides experimental support that AlphaFold2 can correctly predict interactions across such large-scale datasets. Overall, our data provide insights into the diversity of interactions mediated by the Mint family and show that Mints may help facilitate a key trigger point in SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment receptor) complex assembly and vesicle fusion.

Abstract
The final step in secretion is membrane fusion facilitated by SNARE proteins that reside in opposite membranes. The formation of a trans-SNARE complex between one R and three Q coiled-coiled SNARE domains drives the final approach of the membranes providing the mechanical energy for fusion. Biological control of this mechanism is exerted by additional domains within some SNAREs. For example, the N-terminal Longin domain (LD) of R-SNAREs (also called Vesicle-associated membrane proteins, VAMPs) can fold back onto the SNARE domain blocking interaction with other cognate SNAREs. The LD may also determine the subcellular localization via interaction with other trafficking-related proteins. Here, we provide cell-biological and genetic evidence that phosphorylation of the Tyrosine57 residue regulates the functionality of VAMP721. We found that an aspartate mutation mimics phosphorylation, leading to protein instability and subsequent degradation in lytic vacuoles. The mutant SNARE also fails to rescue the defects of vamp721vamp722 loss-of-function lines in spite of its wildtype-like localization within the secretory pathway and the ability to interact with cognate SNARE partners. Most importantly, it imposes a dominant negative phenotype interfering with root growth, normal secretion and cytokinesis in wildtype plants generating large aggregates that mainly contain secretory vesicles. Non-phosphorylatable VAMP721Y57F needs higher gene dosage to rescue double mutants in comparison to native VAMP721 underpinning that phosphorylation modulates SNARE function. We propose a model where short-lived phosphorylation of Y57 serves as a regulatory step to control VAMP721 activity, favoring its open state and interaction with cognate partners to ultimately drive membrane fusion.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE VAMP726/VAMP725 and SYP131 can form a part of a SNARE complex to mediate vesicle secretion at the pollen tube apex. Secretory vesicle fusion with the plasma membrane of the pollen tube tip is a key step in pollen tube growth. Membrane fusion was mediated by SNAREs. However, little is known about the composition and function of the SNARE complex during pollen tube tip growth. In this study, we constructed a double mutant vamp725 vamp726 via CRISPR‒Cas9. Fluorescence labeling combined with microscopic observation, luciferase complementation imaging, co-immunoprecipitation and GST pull-down were applied in the study. We show that double mutation of the R-SNAREs VAMP726 and VAMP725 significantly inhibits pollen tube growth in Arabidopsis and slows vesicle exocytosis at the apex of the pollen tube. GFP-VAMP726 and VAMP725-GFP localize mainly to secretory vesicles and the plasma membrane at the apex of the pollen tube. In addition, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments showed that mCherry-VAMP726 colocalizes with Qa-SNARE SYP131 in the central region of the pollen tube apical plasma membrane. Furthermore, we found that VAMP726 and VAMP725 can interact with the SYP131. Based on these results, we suggest that VAMP726/VAMP725 and SYP131 can form a part of a SNARE complex to mediate vesicle secretion at the pollen tube apex, and vesicle secretion may mainly occur at the central region of the pollen tube apical plasma membrane.

Abstract
Platelet secretion requires Soluble N-ethylmaleimide Sensitive Attachment Protein Receptors (SNAREs). Vesicle SNAREs/Vesicle-Associated Membrane Proteins (v-SNAREs/VAMPs) on granules and t-SNAREs in plasma membranes mediate granule release. Platelet VAMP heterogeneity has complicated the assessment of how/if each is used and affects hemostasis. To address the importance of VAMP-7 (V7), we analyzed mice with global deletions of V3 and V7 together or platelet-specific deletions of V2, V3, and global deletion of V7. We measured the kinetics of cargo release, and its effects on three injury models to define the context-specific roles of these VAMPs. Loss of V7 minimally affected dense and α granule release but did affect lysosomal release. V3-/-7-/- and V2Δ3Δ7-/- platelets showed partial defects in α and lysosomal release; dense granule secretion was unaffected. In vivo assays showed that loss of V2, V3, and V7 caused no bleeding or occlusive thrombosis. These data indicate a role for V7 in lysosome release that is partially compensated by V3. V7 and V3, together, contribute to α granule release, however none of these deletions affected hemostasis/thrombosis. Our results confirm the dominance of V8. When it is present, deletion of V2, V3, or V7 alone or in combination minimally affects platelet secretion and hemostasis.

Abstract
The extended tubular shape of root hairs is established by tip growth and concomitant hardening. Here, we demonstrate that a syntaxin of plants (SYP)123-vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)727-dependent secretion system delivers secondary cell wall components for hardening the subapical zone and shank of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) root hairs. We found increased SYP123 localization at the plasma membrane (PM) of the subapical and shank zones compared with the tip region in elongating root hairs. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns)(3,5)P2 production impaired SYP123 localization at the PM and SYP123-mediated root hair shank hardening. Moreover, root hair elongation in the syp123 mutant was insensitive to a PtdIns(3,5)P2 synthesis inhibitor. SYP123 interacts with both VAMP721 and VAMP727. syp123 and vamp727 mutants exhibited reduced shank cell wall stiffness due to impaired secondary cell wall component deposition. Based on these results, we conclude that SYP123 is involved in VAMP721-mediated conventional secretion for root hair elongation as well as in VAMP727-mediated secretory functions for the delivery of secondary cell wall components to maintain root hair tubular morphology.

Abstract
Negative regulation of exocytosis from secretory cells is accomplished through inhibitory signals from Gi/o GPCRs by Gβγ subunit inhibition of 2 mechanisms: decreased calcium entry and direct interaction of Gβγ with soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein (SNAP) receptor (SNARE) plasma membrane fusion machinery. Previously, we disabled the second mechanism with a SNAP25 truncation (SNAP25Δ3) that decreased Gβγ affinity for the SNARE complex, leaving exocytotic fusion and modulation of calcium entry intact and removing GPCR-Gβγ inhibition of SNARE-mediated exocytosis. Here, we report substantial metabolic benefit in mice carrying this mutation. Snap25Δ3/Δ3 mice exhibited enhanced insulin sensitivity and beiging of white fat. Metabolic protection was amplified in Snap25Δ3/Δ3 mice challenged with a high-fat diet. Glucose homeostasis, whole-body insulin action, and insulin-mediated glucose uptake into white adipose tissue were improved along with resistance to diet-induced obesity. Metabolic protection in Snap25Δ3/Δ3 mice occurred without compromising the physiological response to fasting or cold. All metabolic phenotypes were reversed at thermoneutrality, suggesting that basal autonomic activity was required. Direct electrode stimulation of sympathetic neuron exocytosis from Snap25Δ3/Δ3 inguinal adipose depots resulted in enhanced and prolonged norepinephrine release. Thus, the Gβγ-SNARE interaction represents a cellular mechanism that deserves further exploration as an additional avenue for combating metabolic disease.

Abstract
Retinal neurons that form ribbon-style synapses operate over a wide dynamic range, continuously relaying visual information to their downstream targets. The remarkable signaling abilities of these neurons are supported by specialized presynaptic machinery, one component of which is syntaxin3B. Syntaxin3B is an essential t-SNARE protein of photoreceptors and bipolar cells that is required for neurotransmitter release. It has a light-regulated phosphorylation site in its N-terminal domain at T14 that has been proposed to modulate membrane fusion. However, a direct test of the latter has been lacking. Using a well-controlled in vitro fusion assay, we found that a phosphomimetic T14 syntaxin3B mutation leads to a small but significant enhancement of SNARE-mediated membrane fusion following the formation of the t-SNARE complex. While the addition of Munc18a had only a minimal effect on membrane fusion mediated by SNARE complexes containing wild-type syntaxin3B, a more significant enhancement was observed in the presence of Munc18a when the SNARE complexes contained a syntaxin3B T14 phosphomimetic mutant. Finally, we showed that the retinal-specific complexins (Cpx III and Cpx IV) inhibited membrane fusion mediated by syntaxin3B-containing SNARE complexes in a dose-dependent manner. Collectively, our results establish that membrane fusion mediated by syntaxin3B-containing SNARE complexes is regulated by the T14 residue of syntaxin3B, Munc18a, and Cpxs III and IV.

Abstract
Ykt6 is one of the most conserved SNARE (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins involved in multiple intracellular membrane trafficking processes. The membrane-anchoring function of Ykt6 has been elucidated to result from its conformational transition from a closed state to an open state. Two ways of regulating the conformational transition were proposed: the C-terminal lipidation and the phosphorylation at the SNARE core. Despite many aspects of common properties, Ykt6 displays differential cellular localizations and functional behaviors in different species, such as yeast, mammals, and worms. The structure-function relationship underlying these differences remains elusive. Here, we combined biochemical characterization, single-molecule FRET measurement, and molecular dynamics simulation to compare the conformational dynamics of yeast and rat Ykt6. Compared to rat Ykt6 (rYkt6), yeast Ykt6 (yYkt6) has more open conformations and could not bind dodecylphosphocholine that inhibits rYkt6 in the closed state. A point mutation T46L/Q57A was shown to be able to convert yYkt6 to a more closed and dodecylphosphocholine-bound state, where Leu46 contributes key hydrophobic interactions for the closed state. We also demonstrated that the phospho-mutation S174D could shift the conformation of rYkt6 to a more open state, but the corresponding mutation S176D in yYkt6 leads to a slightly more closed conformation. These observations shed light on the regulatory mechanism underlying the variations of Ykt6 functions across species.

Abstract
The AAA+ NSF complex is responsible for SNARE complex disassembly both before and after membrane fusion. Loss of NSF function results in pronounced developmental and degenerative defects. In a genetic screen for sensory deficits in zebrafish, we identified a mutation in nsf, I209N, that impairs hearing and balance in a dosage-dependent manner without accompanying defects in motility, myelination, and innervation. In vitro experiments demonstrate that while the I209N NSF protein recognizes SNARE complexes, the effects on disassembly are dependent upon the type of SNARE complex and I209N concentration. Higher levels of I209N protein produce a modest decrease in binary (syntaxin-SNAP-25) SNARE complex disassembly and residual ternary (syntaxin-1A-SNAP-25-synaptobrevin-2) disassembly, whereas at lower concentrations binary disassembly activity is strongly reduced and ternary disassembly activity is absent. Our study suggests that the differential effect on disassembly of SNARE complexes leads to selective effects on NSF-mediated membrane trafficking and auditory/vestibular function.

Abstract
In vivo and in vitro assays, particularly reconstitution using artificial membranes, have established the role of synaptic soluble N-Ethylmaleimide-sensitive attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) VAMP2, Syntaxin-1A, and SNAP-25 in membrane fusion. However, using artificial membranes requires challenging protein purifications that could be avoided in a cell-based assay. Here, we developed a synthetic biological approach based on the generation of membrane cisternae by the integral membrane protein Caveolin in Escherichia coli and coexpression of SNAREs. Syntaxin-1A/SNAP-25/VAMP-2 complexes were formed and regulated by SNARE partner protein Munc-18a in the presence of Caveolin. Additionally, Syntaxin-1A/SNAP-25/VAMP-2 synthesis provoked increased length of E. coli only in the presence of Caveolin. We found that cell elongation required SNAP-25 and was inhibited by tetanus neurotoxin. This elongation was not a result of cell division arrest. Furthermore, electron and super-resolution microscopies showed that synaptic SNAREs and Caveolin coexpression led to the partial loss of the cisternae, suggesting their fusion with the plasma membrane. In summary, we propose that this assay reconstitutes membrane fusion in a simple organism with an easy-to-observe phenotype and is amenable to structure-function studies of SNAREs.

Abstract
Autophagy is a catabolic process during which cytosolic material is enwrapped in a newly formed double-membrane structure called the autophagosome, and subsequently targeted for degradation in the lytic compartment of the cell. The fusion of autophagosomes with the lytic compartment is a tightly regulated step and involves membrane-bound SNARE proteins. These play a crucial role as they promote lipid mixing and fusion of the opposing membranes. Among the SNARE proteins implicated in autophagy, the essential SNARE protein YKT6 is the only SNARE protein that is evolutionarily conserved from yeast to humans. Here, we show that alterations in YKT6 function, in both mammalian cells and nematodes, produce early and late autophagy defects that result in reduced survival. Moreover, mammalian autophagosomal YKT6 is phospho-regulated by the ULK1 kinase, preventing premature bundling with the lysosomal SNARE proteins and thereby inhibiting autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Together, our findings reveal that timely regulation of the YKT6 phosphorylation status is crucial throughout autophagy progression and cell survival.

Abstract
Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) are essential for vesicle trafficking in plants. Vesicle-associated membrane protein 721 and 722 (VAMP721/722) are secretory vesicle-localized R-SNAREs, which are involved in a variety of biological processes in plants. Compared to VAMP721/722, a VAMP721/722-interacting plasma membrane (PM)-localized Qa-SNARE is engaged in a rather specific physiological process. This indicates that an in vivo regulator controls an interaction between a Qa-SNARE and VAMP721/722 for a specific cellular activity. We previously reported that synaptotagmin 5 (SYT5) modulates the interaction between SYP132 PM Qa-SNARE and VAMP721/722 for Arabidopsis resistance to Pseudomonas syringae DC3000. In this study, we show that defense against P. syringae DC3000 is compromised in SYT4-lacking plants, which belongs to the same subclade as SYT5. Further elevation of bacterial growth in syt4 syt5-2 plants compared to either syt4 or syt5-2 single mutant suggests that SYT4 and SYT5 play additive roles in Arabidopsis immunity to P. syringae DC3000.

Abstract
Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins play conserved roles in membrane fusion events in eukaryotes and have been documented to be involved in fungal growth and pathogenesis. However, little is known about the roles of SNAREs in trap morphogenesis in nematode-trapping fungi (NTF). Drechslerella dactyloides, one of the constricting ring-forming NTF, captures free-living nematodes via rapid ring cell inflation. Here, we characterized DdVam7 of D. dactyloides, a homolog of the yeast SNARE protein Vam7p. Deletion of DdVam7 significantly suppressed vegetative growth and conidiation. The mutation significantly impaired trap formation and ring cell inflation, resulting in a markedly decreased nematode-trapping ability. A large vacuole could develop in ring cells within ~2.5 s after instant inflation in D. dactyloides. In the ΔDdVam7 mutant, the vacuoles were small and fragmented in hyphae and uninflated ring cells, and the large vacuole failed to form in inflated ring cells. The localization of DdVam7 in vacuoles suggests its involvement in vacuole fusion. In summary, our results suggest that DdVam7 regulates vegetative growth, conidiation, and the predatory process by mediating vacuole assembly in D. dactyloides, and this provides a basis for studying mechanisms of SNAREs in NTF and ring cell rapid inflation. IMPORTANCE D. dactyloides is a nematode-trapping fungus that can capture nematodes through a constricting ring, the most sophisticated trapping device. It is amazing that constricting ring cells can inflate to triple their size within seconds to capture a nematode. A large centrally located vacuole is a unique signature associated with inflated ring cells. However, the mechanism underpinning trap morphogenesis, especially vacuole dynamics during ring cell inflation, remains unclear. Here, we documented the dynamics of vacuole assembly during ring cell inflation via time-lapse imaging for the first time. We characterized a SNARE protein in D. dactyloides (DdVam7) that was involved in vacuole assembly in hyphae and ring cells and played important roles in vegetative growth, conidiation, trap morphogenesis, and ring cell inflation. Overall, this study expands our understanding of biological functions of the SNARE proteins and vacuole assembly in NTF trap morphogenesis and provides a foundation for further study of ring cell rapid inflation mechanisms.

Abstract
The vesicle trafficking SYNTAXIN OF PLANTS132 (SYP132) drives hormone-regulated endocytic traffic to suppress the density and function of plasma membrane (PM) H+-ATPases. In response to bacterial pathogens, it also promotes secretory traffic of antimicrobial pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins. These seemingly opposite actions of SYP132 raise questions about the mechanistic connections between the two, likely independent, membrane trafficking pathways intersecting plant growth and immunity. To study SYP132 and associated trafficking of PM H+-ATPase 1 (AHA1) and PATHOGENESIS-RELATED PROTEIN1 (PR1) during pathogenesis, we used the virulent Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000) bacteria for infection of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants. SYP132 overexpression suppressed bacterial infection in plants through the stomatal route. However, bacterial infection was enhanced when bacteria were infiltrated into leaf tissue to bypass stomatal defenses. Tracking time-dependent changes in native AHA1 and SYP132 abundance, cellular distribution, and function, we discovered that bacterial pathogen infection triggers AHA1 and SYP132 internalization from the plasma membrane. AHA1 bound to SYP132 through its regulatory SNARE Habc domain, and these interactions affected PM H+-ATPase traffic. Remarkably, using the Arabidopsis aha1 mutant, we discovered that AHA1 is essential for moderating SYP132 abundance and associated secretion of PR1 at the plasma membrane for pathogen defense. Thus, we show that during pathogenesis SYP132 coordinates AHA1 with opposing effects on the traffic of AHA1 and PR1.

Abstract
Tip growth is an extreme form of polarized cell expansion that occurs in all eukaryotic kingdoms to generate highly elongated tubular cells with specialized functions, including fungal hyphae, animal neurons, plant pollen tubes, and root hairs (RHs). RHs are tubular structures that protrude from the root epidermis to facilitate water and nutrient uptake, microbial interactions, and plant anchorage. RH tip growth requires polarized vesicle targeting and active exocytosis at apical growth sites. However, how apical exocytosis is spatially and temporally controlled during tip growth remains elusive. Here, we report that the Qa-Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) SYP121 acts as an effector of Rho of Plants 2 (ROP2), mediating the regulation of RH tip growth. We show that active ROP2 promotes SYP121 targeting to the apical plasma membrane. Moreover, ROP2 directly interacts with SYP121 and promotes the interaction between SYP121 and the R-SNARE VAMP722 to form a SNARE complex, probably by facilitating the release of the Sec1/Munc18 protein SEC11, which suppresses the function of SYP121. Thus, the ROP2-SYP121 pathway facilitates exocytic trafficking during RH tip growth. Our study uncovers a direct link between an ROP GTPase and vesicular trafficking and a new mechanism for the control of apical exocytosis, whereby ROP GTPase signaling spatially regulates SNARE complex assembly and the polar distribution of a Q-SNARE.

Abstract
Membrane traffic is a fundamental cellular system to exchange proteins and membrane lipids among single membrane-bound organelles or between an organelle and the plasma membrane in order to keep integrity of the endomembrane system. RAB GTPases and SNARE proteins, the key regulators of membrane traffic, are conserved broadly among eukaryotic species. However, genome-wide analyses showed that organization of RABs and SNAREs that regulate the post-Golgi transport pathways is greatly diversified in plants compared to other model eukaryotes. Furthermore, some organelles acquired unique properties in plant lineages. Like in other eukaryotic systems, the trans-Golgi network of plants coordinates secretion and vacuolar transport; however, uniquely in plants, it also acts as a platform for endocytic transport and recycling. In this review, we focus on RAB GTPases and SNAREs that function at the TGN, and summarize how these regulators perform to control different transport pathways at the plant TGN. We also highlight the current knowledge of RABs and SNAREs' role in regulation of plant development and plant responses to environmental stimuli.

Abstract
Anadromous Pacific salmon (genus Oncorhynchus) are known for their homing behavior based on olfactory imprinting, which is formed during their seaward migration. Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE/Snare) complex is a minimum unit of vesicle exocytosis from the pre-synaptic membrane. Its component genes (synaptosome-associated protein 25, syntaxin 1, and vesicle-associated membrane protein 2) are more strongly expressed in the olfactory nervous system (olfactory epithelium, olfactory bulb, and telencephalon) at the migration stages related to olfactory imprinting and/or retrieval in salmon. This study focused on the mRNA synthesis of synaptophysin (Syp), one of the Snare regulatory factors. syp is strongly expressed in chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) olfactory nervous system during the seaward migration and temporarily increased during the homeward migration. In reference to our previous studies, these expression changes were similar to the snare genes in the chum salmon. Therefore, syp and Snare component genes were synchronously expressed reflecting the development and short-term plasticity of the olfactory nervous system that is essential for olfactory imprinting.

Abstract
Delivery of proteins to the plasma membrane occurs via secretion, which requires tethering, docking, priming, and fusion of vesicles. In yeast and mammalian cells, an evolutionarily conserved RAB GTPase activation cascade functions together with the exocyst and SNARE proteins to coordinate vesicle transport with fusion at the plasma membrane. However, it is unclear whether this is the case in plants. In this study, we show that the small GTPase RABA2a recruits and interacts with the VAMP721/722-SYP121-SNAP33 SNARE ternary complex for membrane fusion. Through immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry analysis followed by the validatation with a series of biochemical assays, we identified the SNARE proteins VAMP721 and SYP121 as the interactors and downstream effectors of RABA2a. Further expreiments showed that RABA2a interacts with all members of the SNARE complex in its GTP-bound form and modulates the assembly of the VAMP721/722-SYP121-SNAP33 SNARE ternary complex. Intriguingly, we did not observe the interaction of the exocyst subunits with either RABA2a or theSNARE proteins in several different experiments. Neither RABA2a inactivation affects the subcellular localization or assembly of the exocystnor the exocyst subunit mutant exo84b shows the disrupted RABA2a-SNARE association or SNARE assembly, suggesting that the RABA2a-SNARE- and exocyst-mediated secretory pathways are largely independent. Consistently, our live imaging experiments reveal that the two sets of proteins follow non-overlapping trafficking routes, and genetic and cell biologyanalyses indicate that the two pathways select different cargos. Finally, we demonstrate that the plant-specific RABA2a-SNARE pathway is essential for the maintenance of potassium homeostasis in Arabisopsis seedlings. Collectively, our findings imply that higher plants might have generated different endomembrane sorting pathways during evolution and may enable the highly conserved endomembrane proteins to participate in plant-specific trafficking mechanisms for adaptation to the changing environment.

Abstract
The Golgi is the central organelle of the secretory pathway and it houses the majority of the glycosylation machinery, which includes glycosylation enzymes and sugar transporters. Correct compartmentalization of the glycosylation machinery is achieved by retrograde vesicular trafficking as the secretory cargo moves forward by cisternal maturation. The vesicular trafficking machinery which includes vesicular coats, small GTPases, tethers and SNAREs, play a major role in coordinating the Golgi trafficking thereby achieving Golgi homeostasis. Glycosylation is a template-independent process, so its fidelity heavily relies on appropriate localization of the glycosylation machinery and Golgi homeostasis. Mutations in the glycosylation enzymes, sugar transporters, Golgi ion channels and several vesicle tethering factors cause congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) which encompass a group of multisystem disorders with varying severities. Here, we focus on the Golgi vesicle tethering and fusion machinery, namely, multisubunit tethering complexes and SNAREs and their role in Golgi trafficking and glycosylation. This review is a comprehensive summary of all the identified CDG causing mutations of the Golgi trafficking machinery in humans.

Abstract
In plants, the apoplast is a critical battlefield for plant-microbe interactions. Plants secrete defense-related proteins into the apoplast to ward off the invasion of pathogens. How microbial pathogens overcome plant apoplastic immunity remains largely unknown. In this study, we reported that an atypical RxLR effector PsAvh181 secreted by Phytophthora sojae, inhibits the secretion of plant defense-related apoplastic proteins. PsAvh181 localizes to plant plasma membrane and essential for P. sojae infection. By co-immunoprecipitation assay followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analyses, we identified the soybean GmSNAP-1 as a candidate host target of PsAvh181. GmSNAP-1 encodes a soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein, which associates with GmNSF of the SNARE complex functioning in vesicle trafficking. PsAvh181 binds to GmSNAP-1 in vivo and in vitro. PsAvh181 interferes with the interaction between GmSNAP-1 and GmNSF, and blocks the secretion of apoplastic defense-related proteins, such as pathogenesis-related protein PR-1 and apoplastic proteases. Taken together, these data show that an atypical P. sojae RxLR effector suppresses host apoplastic immunity by manipulating the host SNARE complex to interfere with host vesicle trafficking pathway.

Abstract
Wheat is an important cereal crop grown worldwide but it's yield is severely affected by various biotic and abiotic stresses. SNAREs are key regulators of vesicle trafficking and are present in abundance in higher plant species suggesting their prominence in growth and development. Novel Plant SNAREs (NPSN) are found exclusively in plants. Hence, a comprehensive analysis of these two gene families in wheat genome was accomplished in this study. We report here 27 SNAREs and eight NPSN genes. These genes and their respective proteins were investigated for gene structure, physiochemical properties, domain and motif architecture, phylogeny, chromosomal localization and possible interactions. Phylogenetic and motif analysis confirmed SNARE domain in all the proteins. Functional annotation revealed participation in biological process like vesicle fusion, exocytosis, protein targeting to vacuole and SNAP receptor activity. At subcellular level, SNAREs were localized in multiple organelles whereas NPSN proteins were localized in cytoplasm where they regulate vesicle fusion. The 3-D structures built with Modeller proved the presence of SNARE motifs in the identified proteins. Possible protein-protein interactions between SNARE and NPSN proteins were determined and docking was performed. The results augmented our understanding about molecular function, evolutionary relation, location inside the cell and their interactions.

Abstract
Synaptic vesicle (SV) release probability (Pr) is a key presynaptic determinant of synaptic strength established by cell-intrinsic properties and further refined by plasticity. To characterize mechanisms that generate Pr heterogeneity between distinct neuronal populations, we examined glutamatergic tonic (Ib) and phasic (Is) motoneurons in Drosophila with stereotyped differences in Pr and synaptic plasticity. We found the decoy soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) Tomosyn is differentially expressed between these motoneuron subclasses and contributes to intrinsic differences in their synaptic output. Tomosyn expression enables tonic release in Ib motoneurons by reducing SNARE complex formation and suppressing Pr to generate decreased levels of SV fusion and enhanced resistance to synaptic fatigue. In contrast, phasic release dominates when Tomosyn expression is low, enabling high intrinsic Pr at Is terminals at the expense of sustained release and robust presynaptic potentiation. In addition, loss of Tomosyn disrupts the ability of tonic synapses to undergo presynaptic homeostatic potentiation.

Abstract
Evidence from multiple systems indicates that vesicle SNARE (soluble NSF attachment receptor) proteins are involved in synaptic vesicle endocytosis, although their exact action at the level of single vesicles is unknown. Here we interrogate the role of the main synaptic vesicle SNARE mediating fusion, synaptobrevin-2 (also called VAMP2), in modulation of single synaptic vesicle retrieval. We report that in the absence of synaptobrevin-2, fast and slow modes of single synaptic vesicle retrieval are impaired, indicating a role of the SNARE machinery in coupling exocytosis to endocytosis of single synaptic vesicles. Ultrafast endocytosis was impervious to changes in the levels of synaptobrevin-2, pointing to a separate molecular mechanism underlying this type of recycling. Taken together with earlier studies suggesting a role of synaptobrevin-2 in endocytosis, these results indicate that the machinery for fast synchronous release couples fusion to retrieval and regulates the kinetics of endocytosis in a Ca2+-dependent manner.

Abstract
Vesicular trafficking is a fundamental cellular process involved in material transport in eukaryotes, but the diversity of the intracellular compartments has prevented researchers from obtaining a clear understanding of the specific functions of vesicular trafficking factors, including SNAREs, tethers, and Rab GTPases, in Apicomplexa. In this study, we analyzed the localization of SNAREs and investigated their roles in vesicular trafficking in Toxoplasma gondii. Our results revealed the specific localizations of SNAREs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (T. gondii Stx18 [TgStx18] and TgStx19), Golgi stacks (TgGS27), and endosome-like compartment (TgStx10 and TgStx12). The conditional ablation of ER- and Golgi-residing SNAREs caused severe defects in the secretory system. Most importantly, we found an R-SNARE (TgVAMP4-2) that is targeted to the apicoplast; to our knowledge, this work provides the first information showing a SNARE protein on endosymbiotic organelles and functioning in vesicular trafficking in eukaryotes. Conditional knockout of TgVAMP4-2 blocked the entrance of TgCPN60, TgACP, TgATrx2, and TgATrx1 into the apicoplast and interfered with the targeting of TgAPT1 and TgFtsH1 to the outermost membrane of the apicoplast. Together, our findings revealed the functions of SNAREs in the secretory system and the transport of nucleus-encoded proteins to an endosymbiotic organelle in a model organism of Apicomplexa. IMPORTANCE SNAREs are essential for the fusion of the transport vesicles and target membranes and, thus, provide perfect targets for obtaining a global view of the vesicle transport system. In this study, we report that a novel Qc-SNARE (TgStx19) instead of Use1 is located at the ER and acts as a partner of TgStx18 in T. gondii. TgGS27 and the tethering complex TRAPP III are conserved and critical for the biogenesis of the Golgi complex in T. gondii. A novel R-SNARE, TgVAMP4-2, is found on the outermost membrane of the apicoplast. The transport of NEAT proteins into the secondary endosymbiotic organelle depends on its function. To our knowledge, this work provides the first mention of a SNARE located on endosymbiotic organelles that functions in vesicular trafficking in eukaryotes.

Abstract
Pollen development is a key process for the sexual reproduction of angiosperms. The Golgi plays a critical role in pollen development via the synthesis and transport of cell wall materials. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying the maintenance of Golgi integrity in plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, syntaxin of plants (SYP) 3 family proteins SYP31 and SYP32 are the only two Golgi-localized Qa-soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) with unknown endogenous functions. Here, we demonstrate the roles of SYP31 and SYP32 in modulating Golgi morphology and pollen development. Two independent lines of syp31/+ syp32/+ double mutants were male gametophytic lethal; the zero transmission rate of syp31 syp32 mutations was restored to largely normal levels by pSYP32:SYP32 but not pSYP32:SYP31 transgenes, indicating their functional differences in pollen development. The initial arrest of syp31 syp32 pollen occurred during the transition from the microspore to the bicellular stage, where cell plate formation in pollen mitosis I (PMI) and deposition of intine were abnormal. In syp31 syp32 pollen, the number and length of Golgi cisterna were significantly reduced, accompanied by many surrounding vesicles, which could be largely attributed to defects in anterograde and retrograde trafficking routes. SYP31 and SYP32 directly interacted with COG3, a subunit of the conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex and were responsible for its Golgi localization, providing an underlying mechanism for SYP31/32 function in intra-Golgi trafficking. We propose that SYP31 and SYP32 play partially redundant roles in pollen development by modulating protein trafficking and Golgi structure.

Abstract
Loss-of-function mutations in the synaptosomal-associated protein 29 (SNAP29) lead to the rare autosomal recessive neurocutaneous cerebral dysgenesis, neuropathy, ichthyosis, and keratoderma (CEDNIK) syndrome. SNAP29 is a soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) protein. So far, it has been shown to be involved in membrane fusion, epidermal differentiation, formation of primary cilia, and autophagy. Recently, we reported the successful generation of two mouse models for the human CEDNIK syndrome. The aim of this investigation was the generation of a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated SNAP29 knockout (KO) in an immortalized human cell line to further investigate the role of SNAP29 in cellular homeostasis and signaling in humans independently of animal models. Comparison of different methods of delivery for CRISPR/Cas9 plasmids into the cell revealed that lentiviral transduction is more efficient than transfection methods. Here, we reported to the best of our knowledge the first successful generation of a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated SNAP29 KO in immortalized human MRC5Vi fibroblasts (c.169_196delinsTTCGT) via lentiviral transduction.

Abstract
Fsv1/Stx8 is a Schizosaccharomyces pombe protein similar to mammalian syntaxin 8. stx8Δ cells are sensitive to salts, and the prevacuolar endosome (PVE) is altered in stx8Δ cells. These defects depend on the SNARE domain, data that confirm the conserved function of syntaxin8 and Stx8 in vesicle fusion at the PVE. Stx8 localizes at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and the prevacuolar endosome (PVE), and its recycling depends on the retromer component Vps35, and on the sorting nexins Vps5, Vps17, and Snx3. Several experimental approaches demonstrate that Stx8 is a cargo of the Snx3-retromer. Using extensive truncation and alanine scanning mutagenesis, we identified the Stx8 sorting signal. This signal is an IEMeaM sequence that is located in an unstructured protein region, must be distant from the transmembrane (TM) helix, and where the 133I, 134E, 135M, and 138M residues are all essential for recycling. This sorting motif is different from those described for most retromer cargoes, which include aromatic residues, and resembles the sorting motif of mammalian polycystin-2 (PC2). Comparison of Stx8 and PC2 motifs leads to an IEMxx(I/M) consensus. Computer-assisted screening for this and for a loose Ψ(E/D)ΨXXΨ motif (where Ψ is a hydrophobic residue with large aliphatic chain) shows that syntaxin 8 and PC2 homologues from other organisms bear variation of this motif. The phylogeny of the Stx8 sorting motifs from the Schizosaccharomyces species shows that their divergence is similar to that of the genus, showing that they have undergone evolutionary divergence. A preliminary analysis of the motifs in syntaxin 8 and PC2 sequences from various organisms suggests that they might have also undergone evolutionary divergence, what suggests that the presence of almost-identical motifs in Stx8 and PC2 might be a case of convergent evolution. Eukaryotes possess membranous intracellular compartments, whose communication is essential for cellular homeostasis. Protein complexes that facilitate the generation, transport, and fusion of coated vesicles mediate this communication. Since alterations in these processes lead to human disease, their characterization is of biological and medical interest. Retromer is a protein complex that facilitates retrograde trafficking from the prevacuolar endosome to the Golgi, being essential for the functionality of the endolysosomal system. SNAREs are required for vesicle fusion and, after facilitating membrane merging, are supposed to return to their donor organelle for new rounds of fusion. However, little is known about this recycling. We have found that Stx8, a fungal SNARE similar to human syntaxin 8, is a retromer cargo, and have identified its retromer binding motif. Sequence screening and comparison has determined that this sorting motif is conserved mainly in fungal Stx8 sequences. Notably, this motif is similar to the retromer sorting motif that is present in a family of vertebrate ion transporters. Our initial phylogenetic analyses suggest that, although retromer and some of its cargoes are conserved, the sorting motif in the cargoes might have undergone evolutionary divergence.

Abstract
Plants have evolved numerous receptor-like kinases (RLKs) that modulate environmental stress responses. However, little is known regarding soybean (Glycine max) RLKs. We have previously identified that Glycine soja Ca2+ /CAM-binding RLK (GsCBRLK) is involved in salt tolerance. Here, we report that soluble NSF attachment protein receptor proteins BET1s mediate subcellular localization of calmodulin-binding receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases CRCK1s to modulate salt stress responses. Direct interaction between GsCBRLK and GsBET11a was initially identified via yeast two-hybrid and bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays. Further analysis demonstrated conserved interaction between BET1s and CRCK1s. GsCBRLK interacted with all BET1 proteins in wild soybean (Glycine soja) and Arabidopsis, and GsBET11a strongly associated with GsCRCK1a-1d, but slightly with AtCRCK1. In addition, GsBET11a interacted with GsCBRLK via its C-terminal transmembrane domain (TMD), where the entire TMD, not the sequence, was critical for the interaction. Moreover, the N-terminal variable domain (VD) of GsCBRLK was responsible for interacting with GsBET11a, and the intensity of interaction between GsCBRLK/AtCRCK1 and GsBET11a was dependent on VD. Furthermore, GsBET11a was able to mediate the GsCBRLK subcellular localization via direct interaction with VD. Additionally, knockout of AtBET11 or AtBET12 individually did not alter GsCBRLK localization, while GsBET11a expression caused partial internalization of GsCBRLK from the plasma membrane (PM). We further suggest the necessity of GsCBRLK VD for its PM localization via N-terminal truncation assays. Finally, GsBET11a was shown to confer enhanced salt stress tolerance when overexpressed in Arabidopsis and soybean. These results revealed the conserved and direct interaction between BET1s and CRCK1s, and suggested their involvement in salt stress responses.

Abstract
Sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNARE) proteins are important mediators of protein trafficking that regulate the membrane fusion of specific vesicle populations and their target organelles. The SNARE protein Ykt6 lacks a transmembrane domain and attaches to different organelle membranes. Mechanistically, Ykt6 activity is thought to be regulated by a conformational change from a closed cytosolic form to an open membrane-bound form, yet the mechanism that regulates this transition is unknown. We identified phosphorylation sites in the SNARE domain of Ykt6 that mediate Ykt6 membrane recruitment and are essential for cellular growth. Using proximity-dependent labeling and membrane fractionation, we found that phosphorylation regulates Ykt6 conversion from a closed to an open conformation. This conformational switch recruits Ykt6 to several organelle membranes, where it functionally regulates the trafficking of Wnt proteins and extracellular vesicle secretion in a concentration-dependent manner. We propose that phosphorylation of its SNARE domain leads to a conformational switch from a cytosolic, auto-inhibited Ykt6 to an active SNARE at different membranes.

Abstract
Sec1/Munc18 proteins play a key role in initiating the assembly of N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complexes, the molecular fusion machinery. Employing comparative structure modeling, site specific crosslinking by single amino acid substitutions with the photoactivatable unnatural amino acid p-Benzoyl-phenylalanine (Bpa) and reconstituted vesicle docking/fusion assays, we mapped the binding interface between Munc18-1 and the neuronal v-SNARE VAMP2 with single amino acid resolution. Our results show that helices 11 and 12 of domain 3a in Munc18-1 interact with the VAMP2 SNARE motif covering the region from layers -4 to +5. Residue Q301 in helix 11 plays a pivotal role in VAMP2 binding and template complex formation. A VAMP2 binding deficient mutant, Munc18-1 Q301D, does not stimulate lipid mixing in a reconstituted fusion assay. The neuronal SNARE-organizer Munc13-1, which also binds VAMP2, does not bypass the requirement for the Munc18-1·VAMP2 interaction. Importantly, Munc18-1 Q301D expression in Munc18-1 deficient neurons severely reduces synaptic transmission, demonstrating the physiological significance of the Munc18-1·VAMP2 interaction.

Abstract
Acute and chronic arsenic (As) toxicity is a global health issue affecting millions of people, which leads to inactivation of over 200 enzymes, particularly those involved in cellular energy pathways and DNA synthesis and repair. The fern Pteris vittata acts as a hyperaccumulator of As and may be useful for phytoremediation to reduce disposal risks by utilizing metal-enriched plant biomass in energy and metal recovery. However, these ferns grow in limited environments and its transplantation and transport can be challenging. Therefore, we generated a transgenic Arabidopsis plant as a seed plant model, capable of accumulating As in their vacuole lumen. This was achieved by transforming the As-resistant bacterial As transporter, ArsB, via fusion with a organelle-targeting signal to the vacuolar membrane, N-ethyl-maleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) protein, VAMP711. In this study, we developed the iVenus assay as a method for detecting whether the N- or C-terminus of a membrane protein is located on the cytoplasmic or exoplasmic side, and from the result of the iVenus assay, we generated the transgenic plant introduced N-terminal end of ArsB with VAMP711, localized to the central vacuolar membrane to accumulate As in the shoot and differentiation zone of root.

Abstract
The invariant chain (Ii, also known as CD74) is a multifunctional regulator of adaptive immune responses and is responsible for sorting major histocompatibility complex class I and class II (MHCI and MHCII, respectively) molecules, as well as other Ii-associated molecules, to a specific endosomal pathway. When Ii is expressed, endosomal maturation and proteolytic degradation of proteins are delayed and, in non-antigen presenting cells, the endosomal size increases, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this are not known. We identified that a SNARE, Vti1b, is essential for regulating these Ii-induced effects. Vti1b binds to Ii and is localized at the contact sites of fusing Ii-positive endosomes. Furthermore, truncated Ii lacking the cytoplasmic tail, which is not internalized from the plasma membrane, relocates Vti1b to the plasma membrane. Knockout of Ii in an antigen-presenting cell line was found to speed up endosomal maturation, whereas silencing of Vti1b inhibits the Ii-induced maturation delay. Our results suggest that Ii, by interacting with the SNARE Vti1b in antigen-presenting cells, directs specific Ii-associated SNARE-mediated fusion in the early part of the endosomal pathway that leads to a slower endosomal maturation for efficient antigen processing and MHC antigen loading.

Abstract
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines) is the largest pathogenic cause of soybean yield loss. The Rhg1 locus is the most used and best characterized SCN resistance locus, and contains three genes including one encoding an α-SNAP protein. Although the Rhg1 α-SNAP is known to play an important role in vesicle trafficking and SCN resistance, the protein's binding partners and the molecular mechanisms underpinning SCN resistance remain unclear. In this report, we show that the Rhg1 α-SNAP strongly interacts with two syntaxins of the t-SNARE family (Glyma.12G194800 and Glyma.16G154200) in yeast and plants; importantly, the genes encoding these syntaxins co-localize with SCN resistance quantitative trait loci. Fluorescent visualization revealed that the α-SNAP and the two interacting syntaxins localize to the plasma membrane and perinuclear space in both tobacco epidermal and soybean root cells. The two syntaxins and their two homeologs were mutated, individually and in combination, using the CRISPR-Cas9 system in the SCN-resistant Peking and SCN-susceptible Essex soybean lines. Peking roots with deletions introduced into syntaxin genes exhibited significantly reduced resistance to SCN, confirming that t-SNAREs are critical to resisting SCN infection. The results presented here uncover a key step in the molecular mechanism of SCN resistance, and will be invaluable to soybean breeders aiming to develop highly SCN-resistant soybean varieties.

Abstract
Vesicle exocytosis underpins signaling and development in plants and is vital for cell expansion. Vesicle tethering and fusion are thought to occur sequentially, with tethering mediated by the exocyst and fusion driven by assembly of soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins from the vesicle membrane (R-SNAREs or vesicle-associated membrane proteins [VAMPs]) and the target membrane (Q-SNAREs). Interactions between exocyst and SNARE protein complexes are known, but their functional consequences remain largely unexplored. We now identify a hierarchy of interactions leading to secretion in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Mating-based split-ubiquitin screens and in vivo Förster resonance energy transfer analyses showed that exocyst EXO70 subunits bind preferentially to cognate plasma membrane SNAREs, notably SYP121 and VAMP721. The exo70A1 mutant affected SNARE distribution and suppressed vesicle traffic similarly to the dominant-negative truncated protein SYP121ΔC, which blocks secretion at the plasma membrane. These phenotypes are consistent with the epistasis of exo70A1 in the exo70A1 syp121 double mutant, which shows decreased growth similar to exo70A1 single mutants. However, the exo70A1 vamp721 mutant showed a strong, synergy, suppressing growth and cell expansion beyond the phenotypic sum of the two single mutants. These data are best explained by a hierarchy of SNARE recruitment to the exocyst at the plasma membrane, dominated by the R-SNARE and plausibly with the VAMP721 longin domain as a nexus for binding.

Abstract
The plant-pathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum, causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease on small grain cereals, produces toxic trichothecenes that require facilitated export for full virulence. Two potential modes of mycotoxin transport are membrane-bound transporters, which move toxins across cellular membranes, and N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment receptor (SNARE)-mediated vesicular transport, by which toxins may be packaged as cargo in vesicles bound for organelles or the plasma membrane. In this study, we show that deletion of a gene (Sso2) for a subapically localized t-SNARE protein results in growth alteration, increased sensitivity to xenobiotics, altered gene expression profiles, and reduced deoxynivalenol (DON) accumulation in vitro and in planta as well as reduced FHB symptoms on wheat. A double deletion mutant generated by crossing the ∆sso2 deletion mutant with an ATP-binding cassette transporter deletion mutant (∆abc1) resulted in an additive reduction in DON accumulation and almost complete loss of FHB symptoms in planta. These results suggest an important role of Sso2-mediated subapical exocytosis in FHB progression and xenobiotic defense and are the first report of an additive reduction in F. graminearum DON accumulation upon deletion of two distinct modes of cellular export. This research provides useful information which may aid in formulating novel management plans of FHB or other destructive plant diseases.

Abstract
Background: Exosome (Exo)-based chemotherapeutic drug delivery systems have been extensively investigated; however, the therapeutic potential of other subtypes of extracellular vesicles (EVs), in particular microvesicles (MiV), seem to be overlooked. Moreover, despite a general agreement on organ tropism of EVs, few studies have clearly demonstrated that EVs specifically target tumor tissue. Methods: Proinflammatory macrophage-derived EV subpopulations comprising apoptotic bodies (ApB), MiV and Exo were isolated under differential ultracentrifugation, and further analyzed using comparative proteomic and lipid approach. Results: On the basis of EV biogenesis pathways, our data demonstrated that MiV acquire the tumor-targeting capacity probably through inheritance of CCR2-enriched cell membrane which also drives the recruitment of donor cells to tumor sites. Further, our data validate MiV utilize SNARE-mediated membrane fusion to directly discharge doxorubicin to nucleus and bypass endocytic degradation. Conclusions: Compared with other EV subtypes, MiV loaded with doxorubicin gain significant benefits in chemotherapeutic outcomes including survival rate improvements in metastatic ovarian cancer. Therefore, MiV represent a potent alterative to Exo and synthetic liposomes (Lipo) for tumor-targeting drug delivery.

Abstract
Plant phospholipase Ds (PLDs), essential regulators of phospholipid signaling, function in multiple signal transduction cascades; however, the mechanisms regulating PLDs in response to pathogens remain unclear. Here, we found that Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) PLDδ accumulated in cells at the entry sites of the barley powdery mildew fungus, Blumeria graminis f. sp hordei Using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and single-molecule analysis, we observed higher PLDδ density in the plasma membrane after chitin treatment; PLDδ also underwent rapid exocytosis. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer with fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy showed that the interaction between PLDδ and the microdomain marker AtREMORIN1.3 (AtREM1.3) increased in response to chitin, indicating that exocytosis facilitates rapid, efficient sorting of PLDδ into microdomains upon pathogen stimulus. We further unveiled a trade-off between brefeldin A (BFA)-resistant and -sensitive pathways in secretion of PLDδ under diverse conditions. Upon pathogen attack, PLDδ secretion involved syntaxin-associated VAMP721/722-mediated exocytosis sensitive to BFA. Analysis of phosphatidic acid (PA), hydrogen peroxide, and jasmonic acid (JA) levels and expression of related genes indicated that the relocalization of PLDδ is crucial for its activation to produce PA and initiate reactive oxygen species and JA signaling pathways. Together, our findings revealed that the translocation of PLDδ to papillae is modulated by exocytosis, thus triggering PA-mediated signaling in plant innate immunity.plantcell;31/12/3015/FX1F1fx1.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) produces about 40% of the nucleated cell's proteome. ER size and content in molecular chaperones increase upon physiologic and pathologic stresses on activation of unfolded protein responses (UPR). On stress resolution, the mammalian ER is remodeled to pre-stress, physiologic size and function on activation of the LC3-binding activity of the translocon component SEC62. This elicits recov-ER-phagy, i.e., the delivery of the excess ER generated during the phase of stress to endolysosomes (EL) for clearance. Here, ultrastructural and genetic analyses reveal that recov-ER-phagy entails the LC3 lipidation machinery and proceeds via piecemeal micro-ER-phagy, where RAB7/LAMP1-positive EL directly engulf excess ER in processes that rely on the Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT)-III component CHMP4B and the accessory AAA+ ATPase VPS4A. Thus, ESCRT-III-driven micro-ER-phagy emerges as a key catabolic pathway activated to remodel the mammalian ER on recovery from ER stress.

Abstract
Cell expansion requires that ion transport and secretory membrane traffic operate in concert. Evidence from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) indicates that such coordination is mediated by physical interactions between subsets of so-called SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins, which drive the final stages of vesicle fusion, and K+ channels, which facilitate uptake of the cation to maintain cell turgor pressure as the cell expands. However, the sequence of SNARE binding with the K+ channels and its interweaving within the events of SNARE complex assembly for exocytosis remains unclear. We have combined protein-protein interaction and electrophysiological analyses to resolve the binding interactions of the hetero-oligomeric associations. We find that the RYxxWE motif, located within the voltage sensor of the K+ channels, is a nexus for multiple SNARE interactions. Of these, K+ channel binding and its displacement of the regulatory protein SEC11 is critical to prime the Qa-SNARE SYP121. Our results indicate a stabilizing role for the Qbc-SNARE SNAP33 in the Qa-SNARE transition to SNARE complex assembly with the R-SNARE VAMP721. They also suggest that, on its own, the R-SNARE enters an anomalous binding mode with the channels, possibly as a fail-safe measure to ensure a correct binding sequence. Thus, we suggest that SYP121 binding to the K+ channels serves the role of a primary trigger to initiate assembly of the secretory machinery for exocytosis.

Abstract
SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors) complex formation is necessary for intracellular membrane fusion and thus has a key role in processes such as secretion. However, little is known about the regulatory factors that bind to Qa-SNAREs, which are also known as syntaxins (SYPs) in plants. Here, we characterized Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) Tomosyn protein (AtTMS) and demonstrated that it is a conserved regulator of SYPs in plants. AtTMS binds strongly via its R-SNARE motif-containing C terminus to the Qa domain of PM-resident, pollen-expressed SYP1s (SYP111, SYP124, SYP125, SYP131, and SYP132), which were narrowed down from 12 SYPs. AtTMS is highly expressed in pollen from the bicellular stage onwards, and overexpression of AtTMS under the control of the UBIQUITIN10, MSP1, or LAT52 promoter all resulted in defective pollen after the microspore stage in which secretion was inhibited, leading to the failure of intine deposition and cell plate formation during pollen mitosis I. In tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) leaf epidermal cells, overexpression of AtTMS inhibited the secretion of secreted GFP. The defects were rescued by mCherry-tagged SYP124, SYP125, SYP131, or SYP132. In vivo, SYP132 partially rescued the pMSP1:AtTMS phenotype. In addition, AtTMS, lacking a transmembrane domain, was recruited to the plasma membrane by SYP124, SYP125, SYP131, and SYP132 and competed with Vesicle-Associated Membrane Protein721/722 for binding to, for example, SYP132. Together, our results demonstrated that AtTMS might serve as a negative regulator of secretion, whereby active secretion might be fine-tuned during pollen development.

Abstract
Intracellular vesicular trafficking ensures the exchange of lipids and proteins between the membranous compartments. Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNARE) play a central role in membrane fusion and they are key factors for vesicular trafficking in plants, including crops economically important such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Taking advantage of the complete genome sequence available of S. lycopersicum, we identified 63 genes that encode putative SNARE proteins. Then, phylogenetic analysis allowed the classification of SNAREs in five main groups and recognizing their possible functions. A structure analysis of the genes, their syntenic relationships and their location in the chromosomes were also carried out for their characterization. In addition, the expression profiles of SNARE genes in different tissues were investigated using microarray-based analysis. The results indicated that specific SNAREs had a higher induction in leaf, root, flower and mature green fruit. S. lycopersicum is characterized for being a crop sensitive to saline stress unlike its wild relatives, such as Solanum pennellii, Solanum pimpinellifolium, Solanum habrochaites or Solanum chilense, which are tolerant. In this context, we analyzed different microarrays and evaluated and validated the transcript levels through qRT-PCR experiments. The results showed that SlGOS12.2, SlVAMP727 and SlSYP51.2 could have a positive relationship with salt stress and probably an important role in their tolerance. All these data increase our knowledge and can also be utilized to identify potential molecular targets for conferring tolerance to various stresses in tomato.
