    Snippet: The juxtamembrane region of the t-SNARE subunit syntaxin also positively regulates exocytosis (Lam et al., 2008; Singer-Lahat et al., 2018; van den Bogaart et al., 2011; Van Komen et al., 2005) . However, this region lacks a hydrophobic stretch and is not known to penetrate into the surface of membrane bilayers (Lam et al., 2008) . Thus, the juxtamembrane region of syntaxin may not act as a membrane-destabilizing peptide in the fusion reaction. I.....
    Document: The juxtamembrane region of the t-SNARE subunit syntaxin also positively regulates exocytosis (Lam et al., 2008; Singer-Lahat et al., 2018; van den Bogaart et al., 2011; Van Komen et al., 2005) . However, this region lacks a hydrophobic stretch and is not known to penetrate into the surface of membrane bilayers (Lam et al., 2008) . Thus, the juxtamembrane region of syntaxin may not act as a membrane-destabilizing peptide in the fusion reaction. Instead, the lipid-binding activity of this region may regulate syntaxin localization and/or modulate other exocytic factors. As discussed above, the juxtamembrane motif of the v-SNARE may bind and destabilize the target membrane in trans after its dislodging from the vesicle membrane, promoting lipid rearrangements in both membrane bilayers.
