Abstract
The neuronal soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex is essential for synaptic vesicle exocytosis, but its study has been limited by the neonatal lethality of murine SNARE knockouts. Here, we describe a viable mouse line carrying a mutation in the b-isoform of neuronal SNARE synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) The causative I67T missense mutation results in increased binding affinities within the SNARE complex, impaired exocytotic vesicle recycling and granule exocytosis in pancreatic beta-cells, and a reduction in the amplitude of evoked cortical excitatory postsynaptic potentials. The mice also display ataxia and impaired sensorimotor gating, a phenotype which has been... (More)

The mice also display ataxia and impaired sensorimotor gating, a phenotype which has been associated with psychiatric disorders in humans. These studies therefore provide insights into the role of the SNARE complex in both diabetes and psychiatric disease. (Less)
