Abstract

English

Even though there are a number of different in vitro fusion assays to analyze neuronal SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) mediated fusion, still the essential features of the in vivo situation are only partially captured. In this thesis an in vitro fusion assay that provides a planar solvent-free pore-spanning membrane containing a ternary acceptor SNARE complex, which mimics the presynaptic membrane, to monitor fusion of single synaptobrevin containing vesicles is presented. Protein-containing pore-spanning membranes were obtained by spreading of giant unilamellar vesicles on gold covered6-mercapto-1-hexanol functionalized porous siliconnitride substrates with pore diameters of 1.2µm. The mobility of Lipids and the SNAREs in the pore-spanning membranes was shown by FCS-experiments, which is prerequisite for the formation of active fusion complexes. The fusion process was highly specific with an efficiency of 50 % and was analyzed by two color confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy in a timeresolved manner allowing to distinguish between vesicle docking, hemifusion and full fusion. A kinetics analysis revealed that two reaction steps need to take place to progress to fusion with a lifetime of the docked vesicles of about 50s.
