Synaptotagmin-like protein 4-a (Slp4-a)/granuphilin-a was originally identified as a protein specifically associated with insulin-containing vesicles in pancreatic beta-cells (Wang, J., Takeuchi, T., Yokota, H., and Izumi, T. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 28542-28548). Previously, we showed that the N-terminal Slp homology domain of Slp4-a interacts with the GTP-bound form of Rab3A, Rab8, and Rab27A both in vitro and in intact cells (Kuroda, T. S., Fukuda, M., Ariga, H., and Mikoshiba, K. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 9212-9218). How Slp4-a.Rab complex controls regulated secretion, and which Rab isoforms dominantly interact with Slp4-a in vivo, however, have remained unknown. In this study, we showed by immunocytochemistry and subcellular fractionation that three Rabs, Rab3A, Rab8, and Rab27A, and Slp4-a are endogenously expressed in neuroendocrine PC12 cells and localized on dense-core vesicles, and we discovered that the Slp4-a.Rab8 and Slp4-a.Rab27A complexes, but not Slp4-a.Rab3A complexes, are formed on dense-core vesicles in PC12 cells, although the majority of Rab8 is present in the cell body and is free of Slp4-a. We further showed that expression of Rab27A, but not of Rab8, promotes high KCl-dependent secretion of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in PC12 cells, whereas expression of Slp4-a, but not of an Slp4-a mutant incapable of Rab27A binding, inhibits NPY secretion in PC12 cells. In contrast, expression of Slp3-a, but not of Slp3-b lacking an N-terminal Rab27A-binding domain, promotes NPY secretion. These findings suggest that the Slp family controls regulated dense-core vesicle exocytosis via binding to Rab27A. 相似文献

Synaptotagmin-like protein 4-a (Slp4-a)/granuphilin-a is specifically localized on dense-core vesicles in certain neuroendocrine cells and negatively controls dense-core vesicle exocytosis through specific interaction with Rab27A. However, the precise molecular mechanism of its inhibitory effect on exocytosis has never been elucidated and is still a matter of controversy. Here we show by deletion and chimeric analyses that the linker domain of Slp4-a interacts with the Munc18-1.syntaxin-1a complex by directly binding to Munc18-1 and that this interaction promotes docking of dense-core vesicles to the plasma membrane in PC12 cells. Despite increasing the number of plasma membrane docked vesicles, expression of Slp4-a strongly inhibited high-KCl-induced dense-core vesicle exocytosis. The inhibitory effect by Slp4-a is absolutely dependent on the linker domain of Slp4-a, because substitution of the linker domain of Slp4-a by that of Slp5 (the closest isoform of Slp4-a that cannot bind the Munc18-1.syntaxin-1a complex) completely abrogated the inhibitory effect. Our findings reveal a novel docking machinery for dense-core vesicle exocytosis: Slp4-a simultaneously interacts with Rab27A and Munc18-1 on the dense-core vesicle and with syntaxin-1a in the plasma membrane. 相似文献

Distinct Rab27A binding affinities of Slp2-a and Slac2-a/melanophilin: Hierarchy of Rab27A effectors
Fukuda M 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》2006,343(2):666-674
The small GTPase Rab27A has recently been shown to regulate melanosome transport in mammalian skin melanocytes through sequentially interacting with two Rab27A effectors, Slac2-a/melanophilin and Slp2-a. Although Slac2-a and Slp2-a contain a similar N-terminal Rab27A-binding domain (named SHD, Slp homology domain), nothing is known about the functional differences between the Slac2-a SHD and Slp2-a SHD. In this study, the Rab27A-binding affinity of ten putative Rab27A effector proteins has been investigated. It has been found that they could be classified into a low-affinity group (e.g., Slac2-a) and a high-affinity group (e.g., Slp2-a and Slp4-a) based on their Rab27A-binding affinity. Kinetic analysis of the GTP-Rab27A-binding to the SHD of Slp2-a, Slp4-a, and Slac2-a by surface plasmon resonance further indicated that the kinetic parameters of Rab27A for the Slp2-a SHD, Slp4-a SHD, and Slac2-a SHD consisted of a fast association rate constant (3.35 x 10(4), 2.06 x 10(4), and 2.11 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1), respectively) and a slow dissociation rate constant (4.48 x 10(-4), 3.96 x 10(-4), and 2.37 x 10(-3) s(-1) respectively), and their equilibrium dissociation constants were determined to be 13.4, 19.2, and 112 nM, respectively. Our data suggest that distinct Rab27A binding activities of Slac2-a and Slp2-a ensure the order (or hierarchy) of Rab27A effectors that sequentially function in melanosome transport in melanocytes. 相似文献

The N-terminal synaptotagmin-like protein (Slp) homology domain (SHD) of the Slp and Slac2 families has recently been identified as a specific Rab27A-binding domain (Kuroda, T. S., Fukuda, M., Ariga, H., and Mikoshiba, K. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 9212-9218; Fukuda, M., Kuroda, T. S., and Mikoshiba, K. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 12432-12436). The SHD consists of two conserved alpha-helical regions (SHD1 and SHD2) that are often separated by two zinc finger motifs. However, the structural basis of Rab27A recognition by the SHD (i.e. involvement of each region (SHD1, zinc finger motifs, and SHD2) in Rab27A recognition and critical residue(s) for Rab27A/SHD interaction) had never been elucidated. In this study, systematic deletion analysis and Ala-based site-directed mutagenesis showed that SHD1 of Slac2-a/melanophilin alone is both necessary and sufficient for high affinity specific recognition of the GTP-bound form of Rab27A. By contrast, the zinc finger motifs and SHD2 are not an autonomous Rab27A-binding site and seem to be important for stabilization of the structure of the SHD or higher affinity Rab27A binding. In addition, chimeric analysis of Rab3A and Rab27A showed that the specific sequence of the switch II region of Rab27 isoforms (especially Leu-84, Phe-88, and Asp-91 of Rab27A), which is not conserved in the Rab3 or Rab8 isoforms, is essential for recognition by the Slac2-a SHD. Based on these findings, I propose that SHD1 of the Slp and Slac2 families be referred to as RBD27 (Rab-binding domain specific for Rab27 isoforms). 相似文献

Human Griscelli syndrome type 2 (GS-2) is characterized by partial albinism and a severe immunologic disorder as a result of RAB27A mutations. In melanocytes, Rab27A forms a tripartite complex with a specific effector Slac2-a/melanophilin and myosin Va, and the complex regulates melanosome transport. Here, we report a novel homozygous missense mutation of Rab27A, i.e. K22R, in a Persian GS-2 patient and the results of analysis of the impact of the K22R mutation and the previously reported I44T mutation on protein function. Both mutations completely abolish Slac2-a/melanophilin binding activity but they affect the biochemical properties of Rab27A differently. The Rab27A(K22R) mutant lacks the GTP binding ability and exhibits cytosolic localization in melanocytes. By contrast, neither intrinsic GTPase activity nor melanosomal localization of Rab27A is affected by the I44T mutation, but the Rab27A(I44T) mutant is unable to recruit Slac2-a/melanophilin. Interestingly, the two mutations differently affect binding to other Rab27A effectors, Slp2-a, Slp4-a/granuphilin-a, and Munc13-4. The Rab27A(K22R) mutant normally binds Munc13-4, but not Slp2-a or Slp4-a, whereas the Rab27A(I44T) mutant shows reduced binding activity to Slp2-a and Munc13-4 but normally binds Slp4-a. 相似文献

Rab27a is required for polarized secretion of lysosomes from cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) at the immunological synapse. A series of Rab27a-interacting proteins have been identified; however, only Munc13-4 has been found to be expressed in CTL. In this study, we screened for expression of the synaptotagmin-like proteins (Slps): Slp1/JFC1, Slp2-a/exophilin4, Slp3-a, Slp4/granuphilin, Slp5 and rabphilin in CTL. We found that both Slp1 and Slp2-a are expressed in CTL. Isoforms of Slp2-a in CTL showed variation of the linker region but conserved the C2A and C2B and Slp homology (SHD) domains. Both Slp1 and Slp2-a interact with Rab27a in CTL, and Slp2-a, but not Slp1, is rapidly degraded when Rab27a is absent. Slp2-a contains PEST-like sequences within its linker region, which render it susceptible to degradation. Both Slp1 and Slp2-a localize predominantly to the plasma membrane of both human and mouse CTLs, and we show that Slp2-a can focus tightly at the immunological synapse formed with a target cell. Individual knockouts of either Slp2-a or Slp1 fail to impair CTL-mediated killing of targets; however, overexpression of a dominant-negative construct consisting of the SHD of Slp2-a, which is 56% identical to that of Slp1, reduces target cell death, suggesting that both Slp1 and Slp2-a contribute to secretory lysosome exocytosis from CTL. These results suggest that both Slp1 and Slp2-a may form part of a docking complex, capturing secretory lysosomes at the immunological synapse. 相似文献

rab27A, which encodes a small GTP-binding protein, was recently identified as a gene in which mutations caused human hemophagocytic syndrome (Griscelli syndrome) and ashen mice, which exhibit defects in melanosome transport as well as in regulated granule exocytosis in cytotoxic T lymphocytes. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of Rab27A-dependent membrane trafficking or the specific effector molecules of Rab27A. In this study, we discovered that the Slp (synaptotagmin-like protein) homology domain (SHD) of Slp1--3 and Slac2-a/b specifically and directly binds the GTP-bound form of Rab27A both in vitro and in intact cells but not of the other Rabs tested (Rab1, Rab2, Rab3A, Rab4, Rab5A, Rab6A, Rab7, Rab8, Rab9, Rab10, Rab11A, Rab17, Rab18, Rab20, Rab22, Rab23, Rab25, Rab28, and Rab37). Immunocytochemical analysis revealed that Slp2 (or Slp1) colocalized with Rab27A in the melanosomes of melanoma cells. Slp2 and Rab27A were distributed to the periphery of the cells (especially at the dendritic tips) in the wild-type melanoma cells, whereas they accumulated in the perinuclear region in the melanosome transport-defective cells (S91/Cloudman). These results strongly indicated that the SHD of Slp1--3 and Slac2 functions as an in vivo Rab27A binding domain. 相似文献

Cystic fibrosis, an autosomal recessive disorder, is caused by the disruption of biosynthesis or function of CFTR. CFTR regulatory mechanisms include channel transport to plasma membrane and protein-protein interactions. Rab proteins are small GTPases involved in vesicle transport, docking, and fusion. The colorectal epithelial HT-29 cells natively express CFTR and respond to cAMP with an increase in CFTR-mediated currents. DPC-inhibited currents could be completely eliminated with CFTR-specific SiRNA. Over-expression of Rab27a inhibited, while isoform specific SiRNA and Rab27a antibody stimulated CFTR-mediated currents in HT-29 cells. CFTR activity is inhibited both by Rab27a (Q78L) (constitutive active GTP-bound form of Rab27a) and Rab27a (T23N) (constitutive negative form that mimics the GDP-bound form). Rab27a mediated effects could be reversed by Rab27a-binding proteins, the synaptotagmin-like protein (SLP-5) and Munc13-4 accessory protein (a putative priming factor for exocytosis). The SLP reversal of Rab27a effect was restricted to C2A/C2B domains while the SHD motif imparted little more inhibition. The CFTR-mediated currents remain unaffected by Rab3 though SLP-5 appears to weakly bind it. The immunoprecipitation experiments suggest protein-protein interactions between Rab27a and CFTR. Rab27a appears to impair CFTR appearance at the cell surface by trapping CFTR in the intracellular compartments. Munc13-4 and SLP-5, on the other hand, limit Rab27a availability to CFTR, thus minimizing its effect on channel function. These observations decisively prove that Rab27a is involved in CFTR channel regulation through protein-protein interactions involving Munc13-4 and SLP-5 effector proteins, and thus could be a potential target for cystic fibrosis therapy. 相似文献

Synaptotagmin-like proteins 1-4 (Slp1-4) are new members of the carboxyl-terminal-type (C-type) tandem C2 proteins and are classified as a subfamily distinct from the synaptotagmin and the Doc2 families, because the Slp family contains a unique homology domain at the amino terminus, referred to as the Slp homology domain (SHD). We previously showed that the SHD functions as a binding site for Rab27A, which is associated with human hemophagocytic syndrome (Griscelli syndrome) [J. Biol. Chem. 277 (2002) 9212; J. Biol. Chem. 277 (2002) 12432]. In the present study, we identified a novel member of the Slp family, Slp5. The same as other Slp family members, the SHD of Slp5 preferentially interacted with the GTP-bound form of Rab27A and marginally with Rab3A and Rab6A, both in vitro and in intact cells, but not with other Rabs tested (Rab1, Rab2, Rab4A, Rab5A, Rab7, Rab8, Rab9, Rab10, Rab11A, Rab17, Rab18, Rab20, Rab22, Rab23, Rab25, Rab28, and Rab37). However, unlike other members of the Slp family, expression of Slp5 mRNA was highly restricted to human placenta and liver. Expression of Slp5 protein and in vivo association of Slp5 with Rab27A in the mouse liver were further confirmed by immunoprecipitation. The results suggest that Slp5 might be involved in Rab27A-dependent membrane trafficking in specific tissues. 相似文献

Slac2-a (synaptotagmin-like protein (Slp) homologue lacking C2 domains-a)/melanophilin is a melanosome-associated protein that links Rab27A on melanosomes with myosin Va, an actin-based motor protein, and formation of the tripartite protein complex (Rab27A.Slac2-a.myosin Va) has been suggested to regulate melanosome transport (Fukuda, M., Kuroda, T. S., and Mikoshiba, K. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 12432-12436). Here we report the structure of a novel form of Slac2, named Slac2-c, that is homologous to Slac2-a. Slac2-a and Slac2-c exhibit the same overall structure, consisting of a highly conserved N-terminal Slp homology domain (about 50% identity) and a less conserved C-terminal myosin Va-binding domain (about 20% identity). As with other Slac2 members and the Slp family, the Slp homology domain of Slac2-c was found to interact specifically with the GTP-bound form of Rab27A/B both in vitro and in intact cells, and the C-terminal domain of Slac2-c interacted with myosin Va and myosin VIIa. In addition, we discovered that the most C-terminal conserved region of Slac2-a (amino acids 400-590) and Slac2-c (amino acids 670-856), which is not essential for myosin Va binding, directly binds actin and that expression of these regions in PC12 cells and melanoma cells colocalized with actin filaments at the cell periphery, suggesting a novel role of Slac2-a/c in capture of Rab27-containing organelles in the actin-enriched cell periphery. 相似文献

Slp4-a/granuphilin-a was originally described as a protein specifically associated with insulin-containing granules in pancreatic beta-cells, but it was subsequently found to be present on amylase-containing granules in parotid acinar cells. Although Slp4-a has been suggested to control insulin secretion through interaction with syntaxin-1a and/or Munc18-1, nothing is known about the binding partner(s) of Slp4-a during amylase release from parotid acinar cells, which do not endogenously express either syntaxin-1a or Munc18-1. In this study we systematically investigated the interaction between syntaxin-1-5 and Munc18-1-3 by co-immunoprecipitation assay using COS-7 cells and discovered that Slp4-a interacts with a closed conformation of syntaxin-2/3 in a Munc18-2-dependent manner, whereas Munc18-2 itself hardly interacts with Slp4-a at all. By contrast, Slp4-a was found to strongly interact with Munc18-1 regardless of the presence of syntaxin-2/3, and syntaxin-2/3 co-immunoprecipitated with Slp4-a only in the presence of Munc18-1/2. Deletion analysis showed that the syntaxin-2/3 (or Munc18-1/2)-binding site is a linker domain of Slp4-a (amino acid residues 144-354), a previously uncharacterized region located between the N-terminal Rab27A binding domain and the C2A domain. We also found that the Slp4-a.syntaxin-2 complex is actually present in rat parotid glands and that introduction of the antibody against Slp4-a linker domain into streptolysin O-permeabilized parotid acinar cells severely attenuates isoproterenol-stimulated amylase release, possibly by disrupting the interaction between Slp4-a and syntaxin-2/3 (or Munc18-2). These results suggest that Slp4-a modulates amylase release from parotid acinar cells through interaction with syntaxin-2/3 on the apical plasma membrane. 相似文献

Liddle's syndrome (excessive absorption of sodium ions) and PHA-1 (pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1) with decreased sodium absorption are caused by the mutations in the amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel ENaC. Rab proteins are small GTPases involved in vesicle transport, docking, and fusion. Earlier, we reported that Rab27a inhibits ENaC-mediated currents through protein-protein interaction in HT-29 cells. We hereby report that Rab27a-dependent inhibition is associated with the GTP/GDP status as constitutively active or GTPase-deficient mutant Q78L inhibits amiloride-sensitive currents whereas GDP-locked inactive mutant T23N showed no effect. In order to further explore the molecular mechanism of this regulation, we performed competitive assays with two Rab27a-binding proteins: synaptotagmin-like protein (SLP-5) and Munc13-4 (a putative priming factor for exocytosis). Both proteins eliminate negative modulation of Rab27a on ENaC function. The SLP-5 reversal of Rab27a effect was restricted to C-terminal C2A/C2B domains assigned for putative phospholipids-binding function while the Rab27a-binding SHD motif imparted higher inhibition. The ENaC-mediated currents remain unaffected by Rab27a though SLP-5 appears to strongly bind it. The immunoprecipitation experiments suggest that in the presence of excessive Munc13-4 and SLP-5 proteins, Rab27a interaction with ENaC is diminished. Munc13-4 and SLP-5 limit the Rab27a availability to ENaC, thus minimizing its effect on channel function. These observations decisively prove that Rab27a inhibits ENaC function through a complex mechanism that involves GTP/GDP status, and protein-protein interactions involving Munc13-4 and SLP-5 effector proteins. 相似文献

Rabphilin and Noc2 were originally described as Rab3A effector proteins involved in the regulation of secretory vesicle exocytosis, however, recently both proteins have been shown to bind Rab27A in vitro in preference to Rab3A (Fukuda, M. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 15373-15380), suggesting that Rab3A is not their major ligand in vivo. In the present study we showed by means of deletion and mutation analyses that rabphilin and Noc2 are recruited to dense-core vesicles through specific interaction with Rab27A, not with Rab3A, in PC12 cells. Rab3A binding-defective mutants of rabphilin(E50A) and Noc2(E51A) were still localized in the distal portion of the neurites (where dense-core vesicles had accumulated) in nerve growth factor-differentiated PC12 cells, the same as the wild-type proteins, whereas Rab27A binding-defective mutants of rabphilin(E50A/I54A) and Noc2(E51A/I55A) were present throughout the cytosol. We further showed that expression of the wild-type or the E50A mutant of rabphilin-RBD, but not the E50A/I54A mutant of rabphilin-RBD, significantly inhibited high KCl-dependent neuropeptide Y secretion by PC12 cells. We also found that rabphilin and its binding partner, Rab27 have been highly conserved during evolution (from nematoda to humans) and that Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila rabphilin (ce/dm-rabphilin) specifically interact with ce/dm-Rab27, but not with ce/dm-Rab3 or ce/dm-Rab8, suggesting that rabphilin functions as a Rab27 effector across phylogeny. Based on these findings, we propose that the N-terminal Rab binding domain of rabphilin and Noc2 be referred to as "RBD27 (Rab binding domain for Rab27)", the same as the synaptotagmin-like protein homology domain (SHD) of Slac2-a/melanophilin. 相似文献

The synaptotagmin-like protein (Slp) family is implicated in regulating Rab27A-mediated membrane transport, but how it might do this is unknown. Here we report that Slp2-a, a previously uncharacterized Rab27A-binding protein in melanocytes, controls melanosome distribution in the cell periphery and regulates the morphology of melanocytes. Slp2-a is the most abundantly expressed of the Slp- and Slac2-family proteins in melanocytes and colocalizes with Rab27A on melanosomes. Knockdown of endogenous Slp2-a protein by small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) markedly reduced the number of melanosomes in the cell periphery of mouse melanocytes ('peripheral dilution'). Expression of siRNA-resistant Slp2-a (Slp2-a(SR)) rescued the peripheral dilution of melanosomes induced by Slp2-a siRNAs, but Slp2-a(SR) mutants, which failed to interact with either phospholipids or Rab27A, did not. Loss of Slp2-a protein also induced a change in melanocyte morphology, from their normal elongated shape to a more rounded shape, which depended on the phospholipid-binding activity of Slp2-a, but not on its Rab27A-binding activity. By contrast, knockdown of Slac2-a (also called melanophilin), another Rab27A-binding protein in melanocytes, caused perinuclear aggregation of melanosomes alone without altering cell shape. These results reveal the differential and sequential roles of Rab27A-binding proteins in melanosome transport in melanocytes. 相似文献

The formation of epithelial tissues requires both the generation of apical-basal polarity and the coordination of this polarity between neighbouring cells to form a central lumen. During de novo lumen formation, vectorial membrane transport contributes to the formation of a singular apical membrane, resulting in the contribution of each cell to only a single lumen. Here, from a functional screen for genes required for three-dimensional epithelial architecture, we identify key roles for synaptotagmin-like proteins 2-a and 4-a (Slp2-a/4-a) in the generation of a single apical surface per cell. Slp2-a localizes to the luminal membrane in a PtdIns(4,5)P(2)-dependent manner, where it targets Rab27-loaded vesicles to initiate a single lumen. Vesicle tethering and fusion is controlled by Slp4-a, in conjunction with Rab27/Rab3/Rab8 and the SNARE syntaxin-3. Together, Slp2-a/4-a coordinate the spatiotemporal organization of vectorial apical transport to ensure that only a single apical surface, and thus the formation of a single lumen, occurs per cell. 相似文献

Despite our general understanding of membrane traffic, the molecular machinery at the immunological synapse (IS) that regulates exocytosis of lytic granules from cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) remains elusive. The identification of disease-causing mutations in the small GTPase Rab27a, priming factor Munc13-4 and fusion protein syntaxin11 has defined an important role for these proteins in CTL exocytosis. In addition, the demonstration of a direct interaction in vitro between Rab27a and Munc13-4 suggests the possibility that the Rab27a-Munc13-4 cascade might regulate CTL exocytosis by engaging SNAREs such as syntaxin11. We propose that these SNAREs are likely to mediate the fusion of lytic granules with the plasma membrane of the IS. 相似文献

Versatile role of Rab27 in membrane trafficking: focus on the Rab27 effector families 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Fukuda M 《Journal of biochemistry》2005,137(1):9-16
Rab27A was the only Rab protein whose dysfunction was found to cause human immunodeficiency. Since Griscelli syndrome patients (i.e., Rab27A-deficient) exhibit silvery hair color (i.e., pigmentary dilution) in addition to loss of cytotoxic killing activity by cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and Rab27A protein is expressed in a wide variety of secretory cells, Rab27A (or its closely related isoform Rab27B) has been implicated in the regulation of different types of membrane trafficking, including melanosome transport and various regulated secretion events. How does Rab27 protein regulate these different types of membrane trafficking? Recent discoveries of three different families of Rab27-binding proteins (a total of eleven distinct proteins) have supplied an important clue to the answer of this question: different types of Rab27 effectors function in different cell types. In this review I describe the literature on the identification of Rab27-binding proteins (i.e., the synaptotagmin-like protein (Slp) family with tandem C2 Ca(2+)-binding motifs, the Slac2 family without any C2 motifs, and Munc13-4, a putative priming factor for exocytosis) and the current state of our understanding of the molecular mechanism of the Rab27-dependent membrane trafficking. 相似文献

The C2B domain of rabphilin directly interacts with SNAP-25 and regulates the docking step of dense core vesicle exocytosis in PC12 cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Rabphilin is a membrane trafficking protein on secretory vesicles that consists of an N-terminal Rab-binding domain and C-terminal tandem C2 domains. The N-terminal part of rabphilin has recently been shown to function as an effector domain for both Rab27A and Rab3A in PC12 cells (Fukuda, M., Kanno, E., and Yamamoto, A. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 13065-13075), but the function of the C2 domains of rabphilin during secretory vesicle exocytosis is largely unknown. In this study we investigated the interaction between rabphilin and SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors, VAMP-2/synaptobrevin-2, syntaxin IA, and SNAP-25) and SNARE-associated proteins (Munc18-1 and Munc13-1) and found that the C2B domain of rabphilin, but not of other Rab27A-binding proteins with tandem C2 domains (i.e. Slp1-5), directly interacts with a plasma membrane protein, SNAP-25. The interaction between rabphilin and SNAP-25 occurs even in the absence of Ca(2+) (EC(50) = 0.817 microm SNAP-25), but 0.5 mm Ca(2+) increases the affinity for SNAP-25 2-fold (EC(50) = 0.405 microm SNAP-25) without changing the B(max) value (1.06 mol of SNAP-25/mol of rabphilin). Furthermore, vesicle dynamics were imaged by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy in a single PC12 cell expressing a lumen-targeted pH-insensitive yellow fluorescent protein (Venus), neuropeptide Y-Venus. Expression of the wild-type rabphilin in PC12 cells significantly increased the number of docked vesicles to the plasma membrane without altering the kinetics of individual secretory events, whereas expression of the mutant rabphilin lacking the C2B domain, rabphilin-DeltaC2B, decreased the number of docked vesicle or fusing at the plasma membrane. These findings suggest that rabphilin is involved in the docking step of regulated exocytosis in PC12 cells, possibly through interaction between the C2B domain and SNAP-25. 相似文献

Rab3A is a small G-protein of the Rab family that is involved in the late steps of exocytosis. Here, we studied the role of Rab3A and its relationship with Munc13-1 and Munc18-1 during vesicle priming. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) is known to enhance the percentage of fusion-competent vesicles and this is mediated by protein kinase C (PKC)-independent Munc13-1 activation and PKC-dependent dissociation of Munc18-1 from syntaxin 1a. Our results show that the effects of PMA varied in cells overexpressing Rab3A or mutants of Rab3A and in cells with Rab3A knockdown. When Munc13-1 was overexpressed in Rab3A knockdown cells, secretion was completely inhibited. In cells overexpressing a Rab-interacting molecule (RIM)-binding deficient Munc13-1 mutant, 128-Munc13-1, the effects of Rab3A on PMA-induced secretion was abolished. The effect of PMA, which disappeared in cells overexpressing GTP-Rab3A (Q81L), could be reversed by co-expressing Munc18-1 but not its mutant R39C, which is unable to bind to syntaxin 1a. In cells overexpressing Munc18-1, manipulation of Rab3A activity had no effect on secretion. Finally, Munc18-1 enhanced the dissociation of Rab3A, and such enhancement correlated with exocytosis. In summary, our results support the hypothesis that the Rab3A cycle is coupled with the activation of Munc13-1 via RIM, which accounts for the regulation of secretion by Rab3A. Munc18-1 acts downstream of Munc13-1/RIM/Rab3A and interacts with syntaxin 1a allowing vesicle priming. Furthermore, Munc18-1 promotes Rab3A dissociation from vesicles, which then results in fusion. 相似文献
