(Received 28 Februa y 1997)

A cDNA clone (VSl) homologous to SNAP proteins was isolated from a grapevine cDNA library. The cDNA insert was 1167 bp long and contained a single open reading frame coding for 289 amino acids. The amino acid sequence of VS1 shows similarity (35%-45%) to SNAP proteins from various sources.

Keywords: cDNA, grapevine, SNAP, Vitis vinifera

SNAPs (soluble NSF attachment proteins) are cytoplasmic proteins that bind to membranes via specific receptors referred to as v- and t- SNAP receptors (SNARES). SNAPs and NSF (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor), a protein that is required for membrane fusion reactions, are essential for membrane traffic (Beckers et al., 1989; Wilson et al., 1989).

A cDNA clone, named VS1, was obtained from a Vitis vinifera cv. Shiraz pre-veraison berry cDNA library. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of the cDNA insert is shown in Figure 1. The cDNA insert contains 867 bp of

coding region encoding 289 amino acids. The termination codon, TGA, is present at position 870-872, followed by the 3' untranslated region.

By comparing nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert to the DNA (DDBJ, EMBL and GenBank) database rereased at Nov. or Dec. 1996, we found it showing high similarity with cDNA clones TAP0070 from Arabidopsis thaliana and S3606-1A from Oryza sativa. Both cDNA clones are ESTs (expressed sequence tags), and contain partial 5' end cDNA sequences. As the first 88 and 103 deduced amino acids of the VS1 show 65% and 60% sequence identity with that of TAP0070 and S3606_1A, respectively (Fig. 2), these 3 clones might be closely related. Since the clone TAP0070 possesses similarity to Bos Taurus SNAP protein, we searched the NRP (Swiss-Prot, PIR, Genpept and PDB) data base using deduced amino acid sequence of the VS1. The VS1 shows 45% and 44% sequence identity with Lorigo pealei and Bos prirnigenius taurus SNAP proteins (Fig. 3).

Moreover, the VS1 shows similarity with Bos primigenius taurus P-SNAP (Whiteheart et al., 1993) (44%), Homo sapiens a-SNAP (Accession No. U39412, Chen et al . , unpublished results) (43%), Saccharomyces cerevisiae vesicular-fusion protein secl7, which is functionally equivalent to mammalian a-SNAP protein (Griff et al., 1992) (%YO), Coprinus cinereus secl7-like protein (lse17, Accession No. U79186, Maida et al., unpublished results) (41%), Drosophila melanogaster soluble NSF attachment protein (Ordway et al., 1994) (40%), Xattus norvegicus a-soluble NSF attach- ment protein (Accession No. X89968, Mitchell et al., unpublished results) (43%). The calculated molecular weight (32,483 dalton) and the number of amino acids (289) are also very close to SNAP proteins from various sources (31,946-33,533 dalton and 285-298 amino acid). Although it is difficult to elucidate the function of the VS1 on the basis of sequence data, it seems that VS1 is SNAP homologue in plant.
