Journal ArticleDOI

Docking and fusion in neurosecretion

TL;DR: Current evidence suggests that NSF functions during an ATP-dependent step after docking but before fusion, and may function to liberate SNARE proteins from complexes so that the proteins on apposed membranes align in a parallel fashion to bring SVs into close contact with the plasma membrane for fusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane Association Domains in Ca2+-dependent Activator Protein for Secretion Mediate Plasma Membrane and Dense-core Vesicle Binding Required for Ca2+-dependent Exocytosis

TL;DR: The presence of two membrane association domains with distinct binding specificities may enable CAPS to bind both target membranes to facilitate DCV-plasma membrane fusion.
Book ChapterDOI

PC12 Cells as a Model for Studies of Regulated Secretion in Neuronal and Endocrine Cells

TL;DR: This chapter reviews a number of methods that are useful for studies of the regulated dense core vesicle secretory pathway, including protocols for maintaining cells and preserving their phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid regulated dense-core vesicle exocytosis requires the CAPS protein

TL;DR: The results indicate that dense-core vesicle exocytosis in melanotrophs occurs by two parallel pathways, the faster pathway exhibits high sensitivity to Ca(2+) and requires the presence of CAPS, which appears to act at a late stage in the secretory pathway.
