Gene Snapshot
Synaptosomal-associated protein 25kDa (Snap25) encodes a synaptic target SNARE protein and a component of SNARE protein complexes known to function in neurotransmitter release. It functions in synaptic transmission in larvae and is essential in adults. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-14]
Gene Group (FlyBase)
Qbc-SNAREs -
Q-SNAREs are members of the SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein (SNAP) receptor) family that mediate vesicle-fusion. SNAREs are cytoplasmic, membrane-anchored proteins that contain a 60 amino acid SNARE domain. Three Q-SNAREs domains from the target membrane and one R-SNARE domain from the vesicle interact to form a four four-helix bundle that pulls the two membranes in close proximity and promotes fusion. After fusion, the complexes are dissembled by NSF (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor) and SNAPs (Soluble NSF Attachment Proteins). Q-SNAREs are named from their contribution of a conserved glutamine (Q) residue to the helix bundle. Q-SNARE domains are designated a, b or c, depending on their position within the helix bundle. Qbc-SNAREs (or SNAPs (synaptosomal-associated proteins) possess a Qb and Qc domain, thus contribute two helices to the bundle. (Adapted from PMID:15893389 and FBrf0216182).
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
May play an important role in the synaptic function of specific neuronal systems. Associates with proteins involved in vesicle docking and membrane fusion (By similarity).
(UniProt, P36975)
Summary (Interactive Fly)

target-Snare (t-Snare) protein - one part of the four helix bundle of proteins referred to as SNAPs invoved in synaptic vesicle priming - required for vesicle docking at the presynapse - a part of the neuroexocytosis machinery

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

        Snap25 has an evolutionarily conserved and complex gene organisation. The onset of Snap25 expression correlates with a time in neuronal development when synapses begin to be formed and when other synapse-specific genes are switched on.

        Isolated from a Drosophila head cDNA library using a chicken SNAP-25 cDNA fragment (encoding the 5' half of the coding region) as a probe, under low stringency conditions.

        Snap25 has been cloned and sequenced, and its RNA expression pattern has been analysed.
