Reconstituting Synaptic Vesicle Fusion Membrane fusion reactions have been reconstituted in vitro, but often the reconstituted reactions have not directly mirrored the requirements for synaptic vesicle fusion in vivo. Previous work generally used only N-ethylmaleimide–sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein SNAP receptors (SNAREs) and one or two additional components and could not explain why deletion of Munc18-1 or Munc13 abolishes neurotransmitter release completely, yielding the severe disruptions of synaptic vesicle release in knockout mouse. Ma et al. (p. 421, published online 20 December; see the Perspective by Hughson) now present a faithful reconstitution of synaptic vesicle fusion. Membrane fusion required Munc18-1 and Munc13 when the reconstitution experiments included all eight key components (three SNAREs, Munc18-1, Munc13, synaptotagmin-1, NSF, and α-SNAP). A model of neurotransmitter release explains why two proteins not needed for membrane fusion in vitro are needed in vivo. [Also see Perspective by Hughson] Neurotransmitter release depends critically on Munc18-1, Munc13, the Ca2+ sensor synaptotagmin-1, and the soluble N-ethylmaleimide–sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein (SNAP) receptors (SNAREs) syntaxin-1, synaptobrevin, and SNAP-25. In vitro reconstitutions have shown that syntaxin-1–SNAP-25 liposomes fuse efficiently with synaptobrevin liposomes in the presence of synaptotagmin-1–Ca2+, but neurotransmitter release also requires Munc18-1 and Munc13 in vivo. We found that Munc18-1 could displace SNAP-25 from syntaxin-1 and that fusion of syntaxin-1–Munc18-1 liposomes with synaptobrevin liposomes required Munc13, in addition to SNAP-25 and synaptotagmin-1-Ca2+. Moreover, when starting with syntaxin-1–SNAP-25 liposomes, NSF–α-SNAP disassembled the syntaxin-1–SNAP-25 heterodimers and abrogated fusion, which then required Munc18-1 and Munc13. We propose that fusion does not proceed through syntaxin-1–SNAP-25 heterodimers but starts with the syntaxin-1–Munc18-1 complex; Munc18-1 and Munc13 then orchestrate membrane fusion together with the SNAREs and synaptotagmin-1-Ca2+ in an NSF- and SNAP-resistant manner.
