WD-repeats are motifs that are found in a variety of proteins and are characterized by a conserved core of 40-60 amino acids that commonly form a tertiary propeller structure. While proteins that contain WD-repeats participate in a wide range of cellular functions, they are generally involved in regulatory mechanisms concerning chromatin assembly, cell cycle control, signal transduction, RNA processing, apoptosis and vesicular trafficking. Tomosyn, also known as STXBP5 (syntaxin binding protein 5), LLGL3 or LGL3, is a 1,151 amino acid protein that localizes to the cytoplasm, as well as to the cell junction, secretory vesicles and to the peripheral membrane and contains one v-SNARE coiled-coil homology domain and 14 WD repeats. Interacting with Syntaxin 1 and Syntaxin 1B, Tomosyn functions as a regulator of neurotransmitter release and calcium-dependent exocytosis. Additionally, Tomosyn inhibits membrane fusion and may play a role in the assembly of SNARE complexes between transport vesicles and the plasma membrane. Multiple isoforms of Tomosyn exist due to alternative splicing events.
