The phospho-dependent dynamin-syndapin interaction triggers activity-dependent bulk endocytosis of synaptic vesicles

Emma L Clayton et al. J Neurosci. 2009.

Abstract

Synaptic vesicles (SVs) are retrieved by more than one mode in central nerve terminals. During mild stimulation, the dominant SV retrieval pathway is classical clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). During elevated neuronal activity, activity-dependent bulk endocytosis (ADBE) predominates, which requires activation of the calcium-dependent protein phosphatase calcineurin. We now report that calcineurin dephosphorylates dynamin I in nerve terminals only above the same activity threshold that triggers ADBE. ADBE was arrested when the two major phospho-sites on dynamin I were perturbed, suggesting that dynamin I dephosphorylation is a key step in its activation. Dynamin I dephosphorylation stimulates a specific dynamin I-syndapin I interaction. Inhibition of this interaction by competitive peptides or by site-directed mutagenesis exclusively inhibited ADBE but did not affect CME. The results reveal that the phospho-dependent dynamin-syndapin interaction recruits ADBE to massively increase SV endocytosis under conditions of elevated neuronal activity.

A–C, Dynamin I is dephosphorylated in an activity-dependent manner. Granule neuron cultures were subjected to action potential trains of increasing frequency (10, 20, 40, or 80 Hz) with either a fixed duration (10 s) (B) or a fixed number (800 action potentials) (C). The extent of phosphorylation on either residue Ser-774 (open bars) or Ser-778 (solid bars) was assessed by Western blotting with phospho-specific antibodies. Synaptophysin (SYP) blots were performed as loading controls. A shows typical Western blots for phospho-dynamin I (P-778, P-774) and SYP. Results presented in B and C for phospho-dynamin I are corrected for protein level (SYP), and are normalized to control ± SEM (10 s: P774, n = 4; P778, n = 3; 800 action potentials: P774, n = 3; P778, n = 4). One-way ANOVA; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 to Ctrl; +p < 0.05, ++p < 0.01, 10 Hz; ∧p < 0.05, 20 Hz.
