Yeast Sec9 (SNAP-25 ortholog) is physically associated with the plasma membrane SNAREs Sso1 (syntaxin homolog) and Snc1 (synaptobrevin homolog), forming a SNARE complex analogous to the neuronal complex; Sec9 is bound to the plasma membrane and absent from post-Golgi vesicles, identifying it as a potential effector of Sec4 GTPase function in exocytosis. |

Biochemical reconstitution of the yeast exocytic SNARE complex shows that neither Sso1 nor Sec9 alone binds Snc1; only the Sso1-Sec9 hetero-oligomeric complex binds Snc1 strongly, revealing that t-SNARE heterodimerization is required before v-SNARE engagement. The C-terminal domain of Sec9 (SNAP-25 homolog) is required for a post-SNARE-assembly step, not SNARE complex formation itself. |

SNAP-25 is synthesized as a soluble protein that undergoes palmitoylation ~20 min after synthesis, coinciding with stable membrane association. Disruption of the secretory pathway (brefeldin A) prevents palmitoylation and membrane association of newly synthesized SNAP-25, demonstrating that palmitoylation and plasma membrane targeting require an intact exocytic pathway. |

Palmitoylation of SNAP-25 cysteine residues is required for membrane association; progressive cysteine mutations reduce membrane binding; syntaxin 1A can partially re-localize cysteines mutants to the membrane, indicating both palmitoylation and syntaxin binding contribute to membrane association. However, there is a discrepancy between membrane localization and biological activity: even the quadruple cysteine mutant retains minimal secretory activity, suggesting multi-component membrane association. |

Synaptotagmin-1 interacts with two sites on SNAP-25 within the SNARE bundle: a central domain (around layer zero, covering both SNARE motifs) essential for vesicle docking, priming, and fast fusion triggering; and a C-terminal domain with a subsidiary role in triggering required for full readily releasable pool size. Mutation of these sites causes no additional phenotype in synaptotagmin-1-null cells, confirming mechanistic relevance. SNAP-25B supports stronger synaptotagmin-1 interactions than SNAP-25A, explaining the larger primed vesicle pool with the adult isoform. |
