Granuphilin Modulates the Exocytosis of Secretory Granules through Interaction with Syntaxin 1a

Abstract: The molecular mechanism for the regulated exocytosis of dense-core granules in endocrine cells remains relatively uncharacterized compared to that of synaptic vesicles in neurons. A novel set of Rab and its effector, Rab27a/granuphilin, which is localized on insulin granules in pancreatic beta cells, was recently identified. Here we demonstrate that granuphilin directly binds to syntaxin 1a on the plasma membrane, and this interaction is regulated by Rab27a. Granuphilin shows affinity to syntaxin 1a with a clo… Show more

“…One member of this protein family, Slp4/Granuphilin, is expressed in pancreatic ␤-cells and controls insulin exocytosis (Coppola et al, 2002;Torii et al, 2002). However, Slp4 appears to inhibit rather than favor exocytosis, suggesting that other Rab27 binding proteins may also participate in the regulation of insulin release.…”

“…Overexpression of Slp4/Granuphilin in pancreatic ␤-cells results in a profound inhibition of insulin secretion (Coppola et al, 2002;Torii et al, 2002), suggesting that the protein functions as a negative modulator of exocytosis. In agreement with this hypothesis a decrease in Slp4/Granuphilin expression is associated with enhancement in the secretory response of pancreatic ␤-cells (Waselle, Coppola, and Regazzi, unpublished observations).…”

“…4). In the case of vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)-2, synaptotagmin-like protein 4 (Sytl4), and Rab3b, who interact upon Ca 2ϩ increase, this has been observed before (26,27 expression of Sytl4 reduces the number of docked vesicles to the plasma membrane, which is suggested to effect insulin secretion (19,28). Decreased mRNA and protein expression of VAMP2 and various other secretory proteins have also been associated with impaired protein secretion in diabetic patients (29) and animal models for diabetes (30).…”

“…13 Slp4-a links SGs to the plasma membrane (PM) through SG-associated Rab proteins (principally Rab27A), PM-associated syntaxins (1a, 2, or 3) and soluble Munc18 isoforms. [15][16][17][18][19] Syntaxins exist in open and closed conformations that determine their participation in SNARE complex formation and membrane fusion. Slp4-a binds the closed conformation of syntaxin, 16,19 which selectively interacts with Munc18 proteins to hold SGs in a fusion-incompetent state at the PM.…”
