Structural basis for the clamping and Ca2+ activation of SNARE-mediated fusion by synaptotagmin

The neuronal Ca2+-sensor Synapotagmin-1 (Syt1) interacts with SNARE proteins and lipid membranes and synchronizes neurotransmitter release in response to Ca2+-influx. Here the authors provide insights into the underlying molecular mechanism by determining the cryo-EM structure of the Syt1–SNARE comp...
