Association between nSec1 and syntaxin prevents toxin-resistant SNARE complex formation. Either syntaxin1A (SYN1; lanes 1, 2, 5, and 6) or nSec1/syntaxin1A complex (SYN1/nSEC1; lanes 3, 4, 7, and 8) was combined with full-length SNAP-25 (SN25) and VAMP2. The mixtures were incubated for 1 h at 4°C. Then, either botulinum toxin E to digest SNAP-25 (BotT E; upper panel of lanes 5–8) or botulinum toxin D to digest VAMP2 (BotT D; lower panel of lanes 5–8) was added and incubated 30 min at 25°C. After incubation, sample buffer (final concentration of 2% SDS) was added, and half of the mixture was boiled, whereas the other half was kept at room temperature. Proteins were then separated on a 16% SDS-polyacrylamide gel and visualized by Coomassie blue staining.
