Single vesicle–vesicle lipid-mixing assays with tethered vesicles. (A) “Acceptor” vesicles containing v-SNAREs (synaptobrevin shown in blue) and labeled with DiD (red phospholipid head groups) and biotin (yellow) are immobilized to a PEG-biotin coated surface through linkage with neutravidin (navy blue). Donor vesicles containing t-SNAREs (syntaxin shown in red and SNAP-25 shown in green) and labeled with DiI (green phospholipids) are added and fusion is measured by measuring FRET using TIR microscopy (Yoon et al., 2006). (B) Synaptotagmin (light purple) was added in the lipid-mixing study by Lee et al. (2010).
