Synaptojanin Is Recruited by Endophilin to Promote Synaptic Vesicle Uncoating

Abstract: We describe the isolation and characterization of Drosophila synaptojanin (synj) mutants. synj encodes a phosphatidylinositol phosphatase involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. We show that Synj is specifically localized to presynaptic terminals and is associated with synaptic vesicles. The electrophysiological and ultrastructural defects observed in synj mutants are strikingly similar to those found in endophilin mutants, and Synj and Endo colocalize and interact biochemically. Moreover, synj; endo double… Show more

“…Other structures that could recruit endophilin include caveolae (34) or micropinocytic vesicles. Although dynamin was recruited to CCPs independent of endophilin expression, the accumulation of SJ1-145 to CCPs strongly depended on the expression of endophilin, consistent with an important role of endophilin in the targeting of SJ1 (20,21,23 tial association by its BAR domain, with the curved membrane of the vesicle stalk (5,18,25,26); (ii) interaction by its SH3 domain with dynamin (15); and (iii) binding, again by its SH3 domain, with cargo proteins present in the nascent vesicle (35)(36)(37). Because endophilin exists as a dimer (38), it may simultaneously bind two different proteins, e.g., synaptojanin and either vesicle cargo or dynamin, by the two SH3 domains of the dimer.…”

“…Endophilin is thought to be a particularly important interactor of SJ1 and to play a major role in its recruitment to sites of endocytosis (2,15,19,20). In both flies and worms, mutations of endophilin and synaptojanin have similar phenotypes, and loss of endophilin results in destabilization and mislocalization of synaptojanin (21)(22)(23)(24). Endophilin, which binds synaptojanin by its C-terminal SH3 domain, also contains an N-terminal BAR domain.…”

“…Simplistically, defective synaptic release might be entirely a secondary effect of a primary impairment in vesicle pool maintenance, due to disrupted vesicle endocytosis. However, recent studies of endophilin and synaptojanin endocytic mutants suggest that only a surprisingly small number of synaptic vesicles is actually required to support normal synaptic function at basal stimulation frequencies: In both endophilin and synaptojanin mutants, basal synaptic transmission is completely normal despite the near elimination of the presynaptic vesicle population, and the loss of synaptic uptake of FM1-43 (Verstreken et al, 2002(Verstreken et al, , 2003Dickman et al, 2005). This raises the question that STNB may be involved in other processes that affect exocytosis, apart from limiting the availability of vesicles.…”

“…Similar paradigms have recently been used to unveil functional deficits in endophilin and synaptojanin mutants (Verstreken et al, 2002(Verstreken et al, , 2003Dickman et al, 2005). The applied stimulation paradigm consisted of a 1 minute baseline interval with stimulation at 0.1Hz, a 10 minute interval with high-frequency stimulation (HFS) at 10Hz to strongly challenge synapses, and a subsequent recovery interval with 0.1Hz stimulation (Fig.…”

“…The Nterminus mainly participates at the base of the membrane invagination in clathrin-coated endocytosis [14][15][16] . In brain, the SH3 domain interacts selectively with proteins containing a proline-rich domain (PRD), such as synaptojanin, amphiphysin and GTPase dynamin [17][18][19][20][21][22] . Our previous studies found an atypical PRD embedded within endophilin II,…”
