This study investigates the role of the C-terminal half of the SNARE domain of Syntaxin-1A in synaptic vesicle stability and neurotransmitter release regulation.

The paper investigates how Syntaxin-1A's juxtamembrane and transmembrane domains modulate vesicle fusion in neurons through palmitoylation, identifying distinct mechanisms for spontaneous and Ca2+-evoked release.

This study reexamines the roles of Syntaxin-1's N-peptide and Habc-domain in synaptic vesicle fusion using a mouse model, showing the Habc-domain is essential while the N-peptide has regulatory functions.
