Abstract
The fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane depends on the assembly of v-SNAREs (VAMP2/synaptobrevin2) and t-SNAREs (SNAP25/syntaxin1) into the SNARE complex. Vesicles go through several upstream steps, referred to as docking and priming, to gain fusion competence. The vesicular protein synaptotagmin-1 (Syt-1) is the principal Ca2+ sensor for fusion in several central nervous system neurons and neuroendocrine cells and part of the docking complex for secretory granules. Syt-1 binds to the acceptor complex such as synaxin1, SNAP-25 on the plasma membrane to facilitate secretory vesicle docking, and upon Ca2+-influx, it promotes vesicle fusion. This review assesses the role of the Syt-1 protein involved in the secretory vesicle docking, priming, and fusion.
Keywords: Synaptotagmin-1, vesicle docking, priming, fusion, exocytosis, secretory vesicles.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
