Rabbit Anti-NSF/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Several protein-protein interactions are essential to membrane fusion during endocytosis. Membrane fusion requires interaction among SNARE1 proteins associated with both donor and acceptor membranes (1,2). Following membrane fusion, the α-SNAP cytoplasmic adapter protein binds to the SNARE complex. N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF), a hexameric ATPase, then associates with the α-SNAP/SNARE complex to mediate SNARE disassembly during membrane fusion (3,4). The ATPase activity of NSF induces a conformational change in the α-SNAP/SNARE complex that leads to its dissociation from the membrane, membrane fusion and eventual recycling of the SNARE complex for subsequent membrane fusion (3,4).
Function:
Required for vesicle-mediated transport. Catalyzes the fusion of transport vesicles within the Golgi cisternae. Is also required for transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi stack. Seem to function as a fusion protein required for the delivery of cargo proteins to all compartments of the Golgi stack independent of vesicle origin.
Subunit:
Homohexamer. Interacts with GABARAP and GABARAPL2. Interacts with GRIA2. Interacts with PLK2, leading to disrupt the interaction with GRIA2. Interacts with MUSK; may regulate MUSK endocytosis and activity (By similarity). Interacts with CDK16 (By similarity).
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylation at Ser-569 interferes with homohexamerization (By similarity).
Similarity:
Belongs to the AAA ATPase family.
