    Mark T Palfreyman, M Wayne Davis, Rob Weimer, & Erik M Jorgensen (2002). The role of SNAREs in exocytosis presented in West Coast Worm Meeting. Unpublished information; cite only with author permission.

    Neurotransmission at a chemical synapse occurs via the controlled fusion of synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane. Central players in this process are the SNARE proteins. In C. elegans the SNARE proteins are encoded by unc-64, snb-1 , and ric-4 which correspond to syntaxin, synaptobrevin, and SNAP-25 respectively. Due to their central and conserved role in membrane fusion, the SNARE proteins have been widely studied. Yet despite extensive study, heated debate still remains concerning their function.
