Comprehensive analysis of expression, subcellular localization, and cognate pairing of SNARE proteins in oligodendrocytes

2009

Oligodendrocytes form the central nervous system myelin sheath by spiral wrapping of their plasma membrane around axons, necessitating a high rate of exocytic membrane addition to the growing myelin membrane. Membrane fusion is mediated by soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor proteins (SNAREs), which act by specific pairing of vesicle (R)- and target (Q)-SNAREs. To characterize oligodendroglial SNAREs and their trafficking pathways, we performed a detailed expression analysis of SNAREs in differentiating cultured oligodendrocytes and myelin and determined their subcellular localization. Expression of the plasma membrane Q-SNAREs syntaxin 3, syntaxin 4, SNAP2…
