SNARE domain of STXBP6; Syntaxin binding protein 6 (STXBP6, also called Amisyn), as well as its relative Syntaxin binding protein 5 (STXBP5, also called Tomosyn), contains a C-terminal R-SNARE-like domain, which allows it to assemble into SNARE complexes, which in turn makes the complexes inactive and inhibits exocytosis. In general, SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins consist of coiled-coil helices (called SNARE motifs) which mediate the interactions between SNARE proteins, and a transmembrane domain. The SNARE complex mediates membrane fusion, important for trafficking of newly synthesized proteins, recycling of pre-existing proteins and organelle formation. SNARE proteins are classified into four groups, Qa-, Qb-, Qc- and R-SNAREs, depending on whether the residue in the hydrophilic center layer of the four-helical bundle is a glutamine (Q) or arginine (R). Qc-, as well as Qa- and Qb-SNAREs, are localized to target organelle membranes, while R-SNARE is localized to vesicle membranes. They form unique complexes consisting of one member of each subgroup, that mediate fusion between a specific type of vesicles and their target organelle.

PH-like domain of Exocyst complex component 1; Exocyst complex component 1 (EXOC1, also known as SEC3) is the higher eukaryotes homolog of yeast Sec3. The Exocyst is a conserved octameric complex involved in the docking of post-Golgi transport vesicles to sites of membrane remodeling during cellular processes such as polarization, migration, and division. PH domains have diverse functions, but in general are involved in targeting proteins to the appropriate cellular location or in the interaction with a binding partner. They share little sequence conservation, but all have a common fold, which is electrostatically polarized. Less than 10% of PH domains bind phosphoinositide phosphates (PIPs) with high affinity and specificity. PH domains are distinguished from other PIP-binding domains by their specific high-affinity binding to PIPs with two vicinal phosphate groups: PtdIns(3,4)P2, PtdIns(4,5)P2 or PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 which results in targeting some PH domain proteins to the plasma membrane. A few display strong specificity in lipid binding. Any specificity is usually determined by loop regions or insertions in the N-terminus of the domain, which are not conserved across all PH domains. PH domains are found in cellular signaling proteins such as serine/threonine kinase, tyrosine kinases, regulators of G-proteins, endocytotic GTPases, adaptors, as well as cytoskeletal associated molecules and in lipid associated enzymes.

They form unique complexes consisting of one member of each subgroup, that mediate fusion between a specific type of vesicles and their target organelle. Their SNARE motifs form twisted and parallel heterotetrameric helix bundles. Examples for members of the Qa SNAREs are syntaxin 18, syntaxin 5, syntaxin 16, and syntaxin 1.

SNARE motif of VAMP8; The lysosomal VAMP8 (vesicle-associated membrane protein 8, also called endobrevin) protein belongs to the R-SNARE subgroup of SNAREs and interacts with STX17 (Qa) and SNAP29 (Qb/Qc). The complex plays a role in autophagosome-lysosome fusion via regulating the transport from early endosomes to multivesicular bodies. Autophagosome transports cytoplasmic materials including cytoplasmic proteins, glycogen, lipids, organelles, and invading bacteria to the lysosome for degradation. SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins contain coiled-coil helices (called SNARE motifs) which mediate the interactions between SNARE proteins, and a transmembrane domain. The SNARE complex mediates membrane fusion, important for trafficking of newly synthesized proteins, recycling of pre-existing proteins and organelle formation.
