Gene Description

SNAP23 (synaptosomal-associated protein 23) is the ubiquitously expressed member of the SNAP-25 family of Qbc-SNAREs. It has no transmembrane segment. It carries two SNARE motifs (Qb and Qc t-SNARE coiled-coil domains) joined by a cysteine-rich linker, and S-palmitoylation of that linker anchors it to the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane. SNAP23 pairs with a syntaxin (STX4, STX11, STX3 and others) and a vesicular R-SNARE (VAMP3, VAMP7, VAMP8, VAMP4) to form the four-helix SNARE bundle that fuses vesicles or secretory granules with the plasma membrane. It thereby acts in constitutive and regulated exocytosis in non-neuronal cells, including histamine release by mast cells, mediator release by granulocytes, cytokine secretion, lytic granule release by cytotoxic lymphocytes with STX11, and recycling of surface receptors such as TLR4 from endosomes. Its neuronal paralog SNAP25 carries out synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Smaller pools of SNAP23 are found on granule, phagosome and endosome membranes. A splice isoform (SNAP-23b) lacks the palmitoylated linker region.

UNDECIDED
Summary: IDA for immunological synapse from a study of STX11 and Munc18-2 localisation in human CTLs.
Reason: The cached full text of PMID:26771955 describes STX11 and Munc18-2 at the CTL immune synapse but does not mention SNAP23 at all, so the evidence for SNAP23 localising there could not be found (it may lie in a figure or supplement). SNAP23 as the plasma membrane Qbc-SNARE for lytic granule fusion would be expected at the synapse, but this has not been verified here.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:26771955
During CTL attack, these granules are delivered to the synapse where they fuse with the plasma membrane and release their deadly contents onto the target

Summary: Inhibiting SNAP-23 in primary human intestinal mast cells markedly reduced IgE receptor-triggered histamine release; activated VAMP-7/VAMP-8 bind SNAP-23 and STX4 at the plasma membrane.
Reason: Direct human evidence that SNAP23 acts as the plasma membrane Qbc-SNARE in mast cell degranulation. SNAP23 does part of the work: it contributes two SNARE motifs to the fusing STX4/VAMP7/VAMP8 complex. This is a cell-type-specific instance of its core exocytic function.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:18253931
Inhibition of SNAP-23, STX-4, VAMP-7 or VAMP-8, but not VAMP-2 or VAMP-3, resulted in a markedly reduced high-affinity IgE receptor-mediated histamine release.

GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: IBA from PAINT node PTN000447753 (SNAP-25 family), with human SNAP23 itself among the donors.
Reason: SNAP23 is a Qbc-SNARE: two SNARE motifs (t-SNARE coiled-coil homology domains 14-76 and 146-208) zipper with a syntaxin and a VAMP into the four-helix bundle that drives fusion. This is the core molecular function of SNAP23, the ubiquitous paralog of SNAP25. Human SNAP23 appearing as a donor of the IBD node indicates its own experimental grounding; the function is ancestral to the SNAP23/SNAP25 clade (PTHR19305:SF4 is the SNAP23 subfamily).

Summary: Reconstituted 'flipped' cell-cell fusion assay with lipid-anchored STX11 and its cognate SNAREs (SNAP23 and VAMP8).
Reason: SNAP23 is a Qbc-SNARE: two SNARE motifs (t-SNARE coiled-coil homology domains 14-76 and 146-208) zipper with a syntaxin and a VAMP into the four-helix bundle that drives fusion. This is the core molecular function of SNAP23, the ubiquitous paralog of SNAP25. In this assay the STX11-containing SNARE set supported lipid mixing, and Munc18-2 promoted complete fusion. Full text not in cache; the abstract supports the claim and the curator read the full text.
Supporting Evidence:

Summary: SNAP-23 FRET probe in macrophages reports LPS-induced, STX11-dependent SNARE complex formation at the plasma membrane.
Reason: SNAP23 is a Qbc-SNARE: two SNARE motifs (t-SNARE coiled-coil homology domains 14-76 and 146-208) zipper with a syntaxin and a VAMP into the four-helix bundle that drives fusion. This is the core molecular function of SNAP23, the ubiquitous paralog of SNAP25. Note that this paper used the mouse J774 macrophage line, so it is ortholog evidence for human SNAP23; the activity is independently established for human SNAP23 by in vitro binding and structural data.

Reason: SNAP23 is a palmitoyl-anchored peripheral membrane protein on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane and of intracellular membranes, so it lies within the cytoplasm as GO defines it. Tissue IHC cannot resolve the membrane compartment, so the term is about as precise as this evidence allows, but it is not informative of function.

Summary: Confocal immunofluorescence of human vastus lateralis showed punctate intracellular SNAP23 staining that colocalised with cytochrome c oxidase (r = 0.50).
Reason: A Pearson coefficient of 0.5 at light-microscopy resolution shows proximity, not that SNAP23 is part of the mitochondrion. There is no fractionation, protease protection or EM evidence for a mitochondrial pool, and SNAP23 has no mitochondrial targeting signal. The observation may reflect SNAP23 at lipid droplet-mitochondria contacts or nearby membranes.

Summary: IBA from PAINT node PTN000447754, seeded only by Drosophila Snap25 (FBgn0011288); human SNAP23 is not a donor.
Reason: Synaptic vesicle priming and fusion at the presynaptic active zone are carried out in vertebrate neurons by SNAP25 (and SNAP47), not SNAP23. SNAP23 is the ubiquitously expressed paralog (PTHR19305:SF4), functioning in constitutive and regulated exocytosis in non-neuronal cells; no study in this review shows SNAP23 in presynaptic vesicle cycling. The node lies above the vertebrate SNAP23/SNAP25 duplication, and the synaptic role was retained by SNAP25. The general activity (fusogenic SNARE) is inherited, but the synapse-specific process is an over-propagation to SNAP23.

Core Functions

Plasma membrane Qbc-SNARE: contributes two SNARE motifs to the four-helix SNARE complex with a syntaxin (STX4, STX11, STX3) and an R-SNARE (VAMP3/7/8), driving fusion of exocytic vesicles and secretory granules with the plasma membrane in non-neuronal cells (mast cells, granulocytes, cytotoxic lymphocytes, secretory cells). Experimentally established with human proteins and in human primary cells.

    we have identified a 23-kDa protein from human B lymphocytes (termed SNAP-23) that binds tightly to multiple syntaxins and synaptobrevins/VAMPs in vitro
  • PMID:10036234
    syntaxin 11 binds to the SNARE proteins VAMP and SNAP-23 in vitro and also exists in a complex with SNAP-23 in transfected HeLa cells and in native human B lymphocytes

With STX11, acts as the plasma membrane t-SNARE for delivery of endosomal cargo (TLR4) back to the macrophage surface. Shown in mouse macrophage cells only; inferred for human by orthology within PTHR19305:SF4.

Directly Involved In:
Cellular Locations:
Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:30811271
    experiment suggested that stx11 interacts with SNAP-23, a plasma membrane-localized SNARE protein, whose depletion also inhibits TLR4 replenishment in LPS-stimulated cells

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Does the immunological synapse IDA from PMID:26771955 rest on SNAP23 imaging in a figure or supplement? The cached text discusses only STX11 and Munc18-2.

Q: Should the PTN000447754 synaptic vesicle priming and active-zone fusion terms be pruned from the SNAP23 branch, given that vertebrate SNAP23 is the non-neuronal paralog?

Q: Is there direct evidence in human cells (not mouse J774) that SNAP23 mediates TLR4 or other receptor recycling to the plasma membrane?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Knock out SNAP23 in human primary macrophages or THP-1 cells and measure surface TLR4 recovery after LPS-induced internalisation, with rescue by wild-type versus palmitoylation-deficient SNAP23.

Hypothesis: Palmitoyl-anchored SNAP23 is the plasma membrane Qbc-SNARE for TLR4 recycling in human macrophages.

Experiment: Use immuno-EM or proximity biotinylation from an outer mitochondrial membrane bait in human myotubes to test whether SNAP23 resides on mitochondria or only at contact sites.

Hypothesis: The SNAP23 signal near mitochondria in muscle comes from lipid droplet or ER contacts, not from a mitochondrial pool.
