From: Focused clamping of a single neuronal SNARE complex by complexin under high mechanical tension

A model for the function of complexin in synaptic vesicle fusion. (Left) A synaptic vesicle tethered to a presynaptic membrane via a Cpx–SNARE complex under a force-loaded environment. Cpx is shown in blue. (Right) Cpx–SNARE complex after a Ca2+-triggered membrane fusion event. A putative Ca2+ sensor in collaboration with the Cpx–SNARE complex is shown in gray
