Membrane fission is promoted by insertion of amphipathic helices and is restricted by crescent BAR domains

Emmanuel Boucrot et al. Cell. 2012.

Abstract

Shallow hydrophobic insertions and crescent-shaped BAR scaffolds promote membrane curvature. Here, we investigate membrane fission by shallow hydrophobic insertions quantitatively and mechanistically. We provide evidence that membrane insertion of the ENTH domain of epsin leads to liposome vesiculation, and that epsin is required for clathrin-coated vesicle budding in cells. We also show that BAR-domain scaffolds from endophilin, amphiphysin, GRAF, and β2-centaurin limit membrane fission driven by hydrophobic insertions. A quantitative assay for vesiculation reveals an antagonistic relationship between amphipathic helices and scaffolds of N-BAR domains in fission. The extent of vesiculation by these proteins and vesicle size depend on the number and length of amphipathic helices per BAR domain, in accord with theoretical considerations. This fission mechanism gives a new framework for understanding membrane scission in the absence of mechanoenzymes such as dynamin and suggests how Arf and Sar proteins work in vesicle scission.

Predicted Membrane-Shaping Effect of Hydrophobic Insertions and Crescent-like Scaffolds (A) Computationally predicted membrane configurations generated out of an initially continuous flat membrane by a combined action of hydrophobic insertions and crescent-like scaffolds. The predictions are based on model computations (see Extended Experimental Procedures), and presented as phase diagrams for different ratios between the bending rigidities of a protein scaffold and a lipid monolayer, κp/κm, characterizing the relationship between membrane shaping powers of insertions and scaffolds. Small values of κp/κm correspond to a prevailing effect of insertions, whereas large κp/κm values correspond to a strong effect of scaffolds. The parameters describing the insertions and scaffolds and the number of insertions per scaffold are taken as for amphiphysin N-BAR domain (see Extended Experimental Procedures). The specific values of κp/κm describing the transitions between different configurations correspond to those predicted for the amphiphysin-like N-BAR domains at the protein-to-lipid molar ratio x = 0.003 (see extended phase diagram in Figure S1D). (B) Phase diagram for endophilin-like N-BAR module showing the ranges of the protein-to-lipid ratio, x, and the ratios κp/κm for which the initially flat membranes undergo bending and fission (vesicular state); bending without fission (tubular state), or coexistence of the two regimes (see Figure S1). (C) Predicted effects of the hydrophobic insertions (green wedges) and crescent-like scaffolds (red scaffolds) on a saddle-shaped membrane neck connecting two membranes. A saddle has both positive (red) and negative (orange) curvatures. The scaffolds stabilize the neck into a tubule and, hence, prevent fission. The insertions destabilize the saddle-like shape of the neck, hence favoring fission.

Epsin ENTH Domain Causes Extensive Membrane Vesiculation (A) Epsin (10 μM) incubated with 0.125 mg/ml Folch liposomes for 1 hr at room temperature. Samples for electron microscopy were taken before and after centrifugation. For sonicated liposomes a sample was subjected to probe sonication for 5 s. Samples for centrifugation were spun as indicated in the diagram. Pellets (P) were resuspended in the same volume of buffer as the supernatant (S). Lipids and proteins were visualized as described in Experimental Procedures. (B) Folch liposomes filtered to various sizes were subjected to centrifugation and the lipid distribution was assessed by SDS-PAGE. Samples for electron microscopy were taken before the spin. A more complete distribution of vesicle sizes is shown in Figure S4C. See also Figure S4.

Membrane Vesiculation Is due to Amphipathic Helix Insertion (A) Membrane vesiculation due to epsin ENTH domain and mutants was assessed by the biochemical vesiculation assay and by electron microscopy. Protein (10 μM) was incubated with 0.125 mg/ml Folch + 5% PIP2 liposomes for 1 hr at 37°C. AP180 ANTH domain, which also binds to PIP2 (Ford et al., 2001), was used as a control. Data are mean of three experiments ± SD with a sample gel shown on the right. ∗∗p < 0.001. (B) Electron microscopy samples taken for samples in (A) after 5 min. (C) Quantitation of membrane vesiculation after 5 min incubation with WT and L6W epsin ENTH domain. The WT protein gives a broader distribution of vesicle sizes with many vesicles of larger diameters. Data in each case are from 169 objects in at least three different fields. One 200 nm vesicle is estimated to give 141 vesicles of 20 nm. (D) PIP2 dependence of epsin vesiculation. Epsin ENTH (10 μM) was incubated for 1 hr with either 200 nm or 30 nm-filtered synthetic liposomes (30% PS, 10% cholesterol, 55%–60% PC plus indicated amount of PIP2, final concentration of liposomes: 0.125 mg/ml). We see no effect of protein addition on the 30 nm-filtered liposomes. Vesiculation is dependent on PIP2, but binding can still be observed. (E) Limited trypsin proteolysis (20 min at 37°C) of epsin ENTH domain was inhibited by Soybean trypsin inhibitor (Inh.) or by liposomes (left). ∗For cleaved peptide sequence, see Figure S4C. The amphipathic helix was either pretrypsinized or not before addition of liposomes (right). (F) The amount of vesiculation shows a strong correlation with the amount of epsin protected, as assessed by a trypsin assay in (E). Thus it is not so important to know the amount of epsin added or membrane bound but the amount of helix insertion. See also Figure S5.

Predicted Membrane-Shaping Effects of Hydrophobic Insertions and Crescent-like Scaffolds, Related to Figure 1 (A) Structures of Epsin ENTH domain (PDB: 1h0a), Amphiphysin BAR domain (PDB: 1uru), and endophilin BAR domain (PDB: 2c08) (Ford et al., 2002; Gallop et al., 2006; Peter et al., 2004). Epsin ribbon diagram is colored from N-C in red to magenta. Amphiphysin and endophilin monomer 1 is colored N-C in red to yellow and monomer 2 is colored in cyan to magenta. The amphipathic helix of epsin 1 ENTH domain is folded around the head group of PtdIns(4,5)P2 – Ins(3,4,5)P3. For amphiphysin and endophilin the terminal amphipathic helices are not present in the structures and so are connected to the structures by dotted lines. (B) Hydrophobic insertion mechanism. (C) Scaffolding mechanism. (D–F, upper panels) The free energies per lipid in the tubular (solid purple line) and vesicular (solid green line). The energies are plotted as a function of the protein-to-lipid ratio x for the effective protein rigidity κp = 4 · 10−19 Joule, and the monolayer modulus of Gaussian curvature κ¯=−2·10−21 Joule. The straight dashed lines indicate the common tangents to the energy curves determining the phase compositions at phase transitions. The in-plane area of hydrophobic insertions per one proteins scaffold Ains is taken to be (D) Ains = 12 nm2 for amphiphysin. (E) Ains = 20 nm2 or endophilin WT. (F) Ains = 30 nm2 for endophilin DAH.

The monolayer bending modulus and the modulus of Gaussian curvature are taken κ = 4 · 10−20 Joule and κ¯=−2·10−21 Joule, respectively, the effective spontaneous curvature of insertion is ζs = 0.75 nm-1. (G) Phase diagram taking onto account variations of the membrane modulus of Gaussian curvature κ¯B for endophilin WT with the total insertion area per scaffold Ains = 20 nm2. Other parameters are as in (D)–(F). (H) An illustration of the tilt angle of scaffolds on cylindrical vesicles. The tilt angle ψ is the angle that the elongated direction of the N-BAR scaffold (colorful coils) makes with the cylinder axis. The curvature of the scaffold at its center varies with the scaffold orientation, assuming values between R-1 and zero. (I) The orientation of the scaffolds in the tubular phase relative to the cylinder axis ψ as a function of the protein-to-lipid ratio x for amphiphysin. For low N-BAR concentrations the scaffolds are perpendicular to the axis ψ=π/2. Above the critical ratio x ≈0.0128, the orientation angle ψ begins to deviate from π/2.

Epsin ENTH Domain Causes Extensive Membrane Vesiculation, Related to Figure 4 (A) Surface charge of epsin ENTH domain. A highly positively charged region surrounded by hydrophobic surface residues acts as the binding site for the head group of PtdIns(4,5)P2 (PIP2). All ribbon diagrams and surface representations are to scale. (B) Model of how lipids must tilt and splay around the wedge-like shallow insertions of epsin amphipathic helix.

Membrane Vesiculation Is due to Amphipathic Helix Insertion, Related to Figure 5 (A) At 4°C epsin vesiculation is much less efficient. After 30 min incubation with 200 nm Folch liposomes only L6W is successful in giving a partial shift of liposomes from the pellet to the supernatant in the sedimentation assay. (B) Representative EM of liposomes after epsin L6W, used to quantitate the diameter of small vesicles shown in (A). Smaller particles (micelles or protein aggregates) were not counted. (C) Mass spectrometry of the complete trypsin digested sample of L6W epsin ENTH domain gave 2 prominent low molecular mass peptides (red box) whose sequence shows they are digested at 2 adjacent arginines. Arg8 coordinates the 4′ phosphate of the PIP2 inositol ring, whereas Arg7 coordinates the phosophodiester linkage (Ford et al., 2002). Removal of these residues by proteolysis means that the protein no longer binds membranes (Figure 2D). The mass of the proteolysed parent ENTH domain is consistent with a further cleavage of the amphipathic helix to the next lysine. This 3 amino acid peptide was not recovered. (D) Trypsin itself is not inhibited by membranes. The possibility that trypsin is absorbed/inhibited by membranes was tested by taking an unfolded protein (synaptobrevin) which gives distinct cleavage products (∗) and adding this to the liposome mixture. Proteins were preincubated with liposomes for 10 min before trypsin addition. Trypsin digestion of synaptobrevin is not inhibited by the addition of liposomes and may even be slightly enhanced. (E) Epsin binding to synthetic liposomes (30% PS, 10% cholesterol, 55%–60% PC) with various PIP2 contents. Samples were subjected to 15 min incubation with trypsin to eliminate uninserted protein, showing that the limited amount of protected protein in the presence of 0.5% PIP2 was sufficient to give significant vesiculation. (F) Increasing concentrations of epsin promote more extensive vesiculation of liposomes. After trypsin cleavage it becomes clear that, at higher concentrations, most of the added epsin is not bound/protected by the liposomes and so does not contribute to vesiculation. When vesiculation is plotted versus the bound/protected protein, vesiculation is linear relative to inserted epsin protein. The yellow box indicates the point of approximately 50% vesiculation where there is maximally 10% membrane coverage by epsin (assuming that 6ul epsin is giving saturation). (G) Membrane binding of epsin ENTH domain and mutants. It is not easy to assess the amount of epsin bound to membrane by the traditional sedimentation assay as the protein causes a shift in the liposomes sedimentation pattern. However given that amphipathic helix insertion is the major event one wants to monitor and is a reflection of binding, we can use trypsin sensitivity of the protein as a measure of insertion. At room temperature for 30 min L6W mutant binds better than WT protein, which binds better than L6E mutant protein.

GRAF BAR+PH Domain Resists Epsin Vesiculation Activity, Related to Figure 7 Competition between epsin ENTH domain, which promotes vesiculation, and GRAF BAR+PH domain, which promotes membrane tubulation. Although GRAF does indeed appear to restrain the vesiculation, this effect can be accounted for by the reduced binding of epsin in the presence of GRAF.
