The Caenorhabditis elegans unc-13,
unc-18, and unc-64 genes are required for
normal synaptic transmission. The UNC-18 protein binds to the
unc-64 gene product C. elegans syntaxin
(Ce syntaxin). However, it is not clear how this protein
complex is regulated. We show that UNC-13 transiently interacts with
the UNC-18-Ce syntaxin complex, resulting in rapid
displacement of UNC-18 from the complex. Genetic and biochemical
evidence is presented that UNC-13 contributes to the modulation of the
interaction between UNC-18 and Ce syntaxin.
Key words:
UNC-18; Ce syntaxin; UNC-13; SNARE complex; synaptic vesicle; exocytosis
