A Surprisingly Singular Role for Endophilin in Synaptic Vesicle Recycling
Synaptic vesicle endocytosis requires membrane curvature, fission, and uncoating. Endophilin has been proposed to play a role in all three steps, but in this issue of Neuron, De Camilli and colleagues show that at mammalian central synapses it is primarily involved in clathrin uncoating.
متن کاملAn endophilin-dynamin complex promotes budding of clathrin-coated vesicles during synaptic vesicle recycling.
Clathrin-mediated vesicle recycling in synapses is maintained by a unique set of endocytic proteins and interactions. We show that endophilin localizes in the vesicle pool at rest and in spirals at the necks of clathrin-coated pits (CCPs) during activity in lamprey synapses. Endophilin and dynamin colocalize at the base of the clathrin coat. Protein spirals composed of these proteins on lipid t...
متن کاملEndophilin Is Required for Synaptic Vesicle Endocytosis by Localizing Synaptojanin
Endophilin is a membrane-associated protein required for endocytosis of synaptic vesicles. Two models have been proposed for endophilin: that it alters lipid composition in order to shape membranes during endocytosis, or that it binds the polyphosphoinositide phosphatase synaptojanin and recruits this phosphatase to membranes. In this study, we demonstrate that the unc-57 gene encodes the Caeno...
متن کاملThe role of non-canonical SNAREs in synaptic vesicle recycling
An increasing number of studies suggest that distinct pools of synaptic vesicles drive specific forms of neurotransmission. Interspersed with these functional studies are analyses of the synaptic vesicle proteome which have consistently detected the presence of so-called "non-canonical" SNAREs that typically function in fusion and trafficking of other subcellular structures within the neuron. T...
متن کاملEssential Role of Phosphoinositide Metabolism in Synaptic Vesicle Recycling
Growing evidence suggests that phosphoinositides play an important role in membrane traffic. A polyphosphoinositide phosphatase, synaptojanin 1, was identified as a major presynaptic protein associated with endocytic coated intermediates. We report here that synaptojanin 1-deficient mice exhibit neurological defects and die shortly after birth. In neurons of mutant animals, PI(4,5)P2 levels are...
