Abstract
English
The members of the Sec1p/Munc18 (SM) family of proteins are indispensible regulatory elements that act at the post-docking step prior to fusion; they exert their function mainly through their interaction to the Qa-SNAREs (Syntaxins). Although studies have shown a high degree of structural homology, different binding modes have been proposed. In the case of the neuronal Munc18-1, an affinity towards a “close conformation
