SNARE motif; SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins consist of coiled-coil helices (called SNARE motifs) which mediate the interactions between SNARE proteins, and a transmembrane domain. The SNARE complex mediates membrane fusion, important for trafficking of newly synthesized proteins, recycling of pre-existing proteins and organelle formation. SNARE proteins are classified into four groups, Qa-, Qb-, Qc- and R-SNAREs, depending on whether the residue in the hydrophilic center layer of the four-helical bundle is a glutamine (Q) or arginine (R). Qa-, Qb- and Qc-SNAREs are localized to target organelle membranes, while R-SNARE is localized to vesicle membranes. They form unique complexes consisting of one member of each subgroup, that mediate fusion between a specific type of vesicles and their target organelle. Their SNARE motifs form twisted and parallel heterotetrameric helix bundles.

SNARE domain; Most if not all vesicular membrane fusion events in eukaryotic cells are believed to be mediated by a conserved fusion machinery, the SNARE [soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein (SNAP) receptors] machinery. The SNARE domain is thought to act as a protein-protein interaction module in the assembly of a SNARE protein complex.

Syntaxin N-terminus domain; syntaxins are nervous system-specific proteins implicated in the docking of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic plasma membrane; they are a family of receptors for intracellular transport vesicles; each target membrane may be identified by a specific member of the syntaxin family; syntaxins contain a moderately well conserved amino-terminal domain, called Habc, whose structure is an antiparallel three-helix bundle; a linker of about 30 amino acids connects this to the carboxy-terminal region, designated H3 (t_SNARE), of the syntaxin cytoplasmic domain; the highly conserved H3 region forms a single, long alpha-helix when it is part of the core SNARE complex and anchors the protein on the cytoplasmic surface of cellular membranes; H3 is not included in defining this domain

SNARE motif of syntaxin 5; Syntaxin 5 (Syn5) regulates the transport from the ER to the Golgi, as well as the early/recycling endosomes to the trans-Golgi network and participates in the assembly of transitional ER and the Golgi, lipid droplet fusion, and cytokinesis. Syn5 exists in 2 isoforms, long (42 kDa) and short (35 kDa). The short form is localized in the Golgi complex, whereas the long form is additionally found in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The syntaxin-5 SNARE complexes, which also contain Bet1 (Qc) and either GS27 (Qb) and Sec22B (R-SNARE) or GS28 (Qb) and Ykt6 (R-SNARE), regulate the early secretory pathway of eukaryotic cells at the level of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi transport.
