Popis: Ca2+-triggered vesicle exocytosis in neuro endocrine cells requires priming reactions that follow vesicle tethering/docking and precede triggered fusion. Priming requires PI(4,5)P2 and priming factors, and likely involves SNARE protein complex assembly. In studies with proteoliposomes, the priming factor CAPS interacts with PI(4,5)P2, binds the SNARE protein syntaxin-1, promotes trans SNARE complex formation, and stimulates PI(4,5)P2- and SNARE-dependent liposome fusion. We propose that CAPS functions in priming vesicle exocytosis by coupling membrane binding to SNARE complex assembly.
