1 17922004 Here, we show that lipid droplets are associated with proteins involved in fusion processes in the cell: NSF (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive-factor), alpha-SNAP (soluble NSF attachment protein) and the SNAREs (SNAP receptors), SNAP23 (synaptosomal-associated protein of 23 kDa), syntaxin-5 and VAMP4 (vesicle-associated membrane protein 4).
2 17922004 Knockdown of the genes for SNAP23, syntaxin-5 or VAMP4, or microinjection of a dominant-negative mutant of alpha-SNAP, decreases the rate of fusion and the size of the lipid droplets.
3 17922004 We also show that oleic acid treatment decreases the insulin sensitivity of heart muscle cells, and this sensitivity is completely restored by transfection with SNAP23.
4 17922004 Thus, SNAP23 might be a link between insulin sensitivity and the inflow of fatty acids to the cell.
5 17922004 Here, we show that lipid droplets are associated with proteins involved in fusion processes in the cell: NSF (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive-factor), alpha-SNAP (soluble NSF attachment protein) and the SNAREs (SNAP receptors), SNAP23 (synaptosomal-associated protein of 23 kDa), syntaxin-5 and VAMP4 (vesicle-associated membrane protein 4).
6 17922004 Knockdown of the genes for SNAP23, syntaxin-5 or VAMP4, or microinjection of a dominant-negative mutant of alpha-SNAP, decreases the rate of fusion and the size of the lipid droplets.
7 17922004 We also show that oleic acid treatment decreases the insulin sensitivity of heart muscle cells, and this sensitivity is completely restored by transfection with SNAP23.
8 17922004 Thus, SNAP23 might be a link between insulin sensitivity and the inflow of fatty acids to the cell.
9 21596547 The fusion is catalyzed by the SNARE proteins SNAP23, syntaxin-5 and VAMP4.
10 21596547 SNAP23 is involved in the insulin dependent translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane, and has an important role in the development of insulin resistance.
11 21596547 Thus fatty acids relocalize SNAP23 from the plasma membrane (and the translocation of GLUT 4) to the interior of the cell giving rise to insulin resistance.
12 21596547 Thus a missorting of SNAP23 is essential for the development of insulin resistance.
