Popis: Docking of ER-derived vesicles to the cis-Golgi compartment in yeast requires vesicle and target membrane receptors (v-SNAREs and t-SNAREs) and the GTPase Ypt1p. The t-SNARE Sed5p is complexed with Sly1p in vivo. The mutant form Sly1-20p rescues Ypt1p-lacking cells from lethality, suggesting an inhibitory function of Sly1p in v-SNARE/t-SNARE interaction. Using surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, we found that Sed5p binds Sly1p and Sly1-20p with equally high affinity (K(D) = 5.13 x 10(-9) M and 4.74 x 10(-9) M, respectively). Deletion studies show that the N-terminal half of Sly1p rather than the C-terminus (harbouring the E532K substitution in Sly1-20p) is most critical for its binding to Sed5p. These data appear to argue for an active rather than an inhibitory role of Sly1p in vesicle docking.
