SNARE proteins form bundles of four alpha-helical SNARE domains with conserved polar amino acids, 3Q and 1R, at the 0-layer of the bundle. Previous studies have confirmed the importance of 3Q(.)1R for fusion but have not shown whether it regulates SNARE complex assembly or the downstream functions of assembled SNAREs. Yeast vacuole fusion requires regulatory lipids (ergosterol, phosphoinositides, and diacylglycerol), the Rab Ypt7p, the Rab-effector complex HOPS, and 4 SNAREs: the Q-SNAREs Vti1p, Vam3p, and Vam7p and the R-SNARE Nyv1p. We now report that alterations in the 0-layer Gln or Arg residues of Vam7p or Nyv1p, respectively, strongly inhibit fusion. Vacuoles with wild-type Nyv1p show exquisite discrimination for the wild-type Vam7p over Vam7(Q283R), yet Vam7(Q283R) is preferred by vacuoles with Nyv1(R191Q). Rotation of the position of the arginine in the 0-layer increases the K-m for Vam7p but does not affect the maximal rate of fusion. Vam7(Q283R) forms stable 2Q(.)2R complexes that do not promote fusion. However, fusion is restored by the lipophilic amphiphile chlorpromazine or by the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122, perturbants of the lipid phase of the membrane. Thus, SNARE function as regulated by the 0-layer is intimately coupled to the lipids, which must rearrange for fusion.
