NCBI Protein Information
Syntaxin/t-SNARE family protein
NCBI Summary
Syntaxin-related protein required for vacuolar assembly. A member of t-SNARE superfamily, homologous to yest Vam3p. Localized in the vacuolar membranes. The protein has a heptad repeat structure (residues164#Aei220) in which hydrophobic amino acid residues appear at seven amino acid intervals. Such regions have a high potential to form an amphiphilic a-helix, intriguing for the intermolecular interactions by forming coiled-coil structure. AtVam3p has a highly hydrophobic segment at its C terminus thus implicating it to be a membrane protein while the rest of the sequence is hydrophilic.
