FIGURE 5: Non canonical roles of Snap29. Schematic representation of the function of Snap29 at synaptic vesicles (A) and at the kinetochore (B). The comparison in A illustrates similarities between membrane trafficking and the membrane-independent process of kinetochore formation. The regulatory activity of SNAP29 during synaptic transmission illustrated in B is likely to involve binding to SNARE bundles containing SNAP25 (see text for details).
