In the present study, we made several key observations on how dynamin-mediated synaptic vesicle endocytosis contributes to neurotransmission by taking advantage of dynasore, a reversible small molecule inhibitor of dynamin function. First, in agreement with previous reports, we verified that dynasore is a bona fide and potent inhibitor of the GTPase activity of dynamin (Macia et al., 2006; Kirchhausen et al., 2008). This inhibition of dynamin function, in turn, was correlated with a marked suppression of synaptic vesicle endocytosis during and after synaptic stimulation. Second, dynasore, at concentrations that potently inhibits dynamin activation as well as synaptic vesicle endocytosis, caused use-dependent depression of evoked synaptic transmission at an extremely rapid timescale (∼1 s). This finding indicates that neurotransmission during repetitive stimulation requires rapid reuse of synaptic vesicles endocytosed in a dynamin-dependent manner (Pyle et al., 2000; Sara et al., 2002; Harata ...

Endophilins have been proposed to have an enzymatic activity (a lysophosphatidic acid acyl transferase or LPAAT activity) that can make phosphatidic acid in membranes1,2,3. This activity is thought to change the bilayer asymmetry in such a way that negative membrane curvature at the neck of a budding vesicle will be stabilized. An LPAAT activity has also been proposed for CtBP/BARS (carboxy-terminal binding protein/brefeldin A-ribosylated substrate), a transcription co-repressor that is implicated in dynamin-independent endocytosis and fission of the Golgi in mitosis4,5,6. Here we show that the LPAAT activity associated with endophilin is a contaminant of the purification procedure and can be also found associated with the pleckstrin homology domain of dynamin. Likewise, the LPAAT activity associated with CtBP/BARS is also a co-purification artefact. The proposed locus of activity in endophilins includes the BAR domain, which has no catalytic site but instead senses positive membrane curvature. These

FOCAL POINT Two research teams probed how mitochondria engage fission-promoting, dynamin-related GTPases. In yeast cells, Mdv1 helps capture the GTPase Dnm1. (Top row) Janet Shaw (third from left), Sajjan Koirala (fourth from left), and colleagues determined the structure of the middle portion of Mdv1. Their structure (bottom left, from (1)) shows two Mdv1 molecules (green and purple) with their coils overlapping. (Middle row) Hidenori Otera (left), Chunxin Wang (right), and colleagues (not shown) found that human mitochondria rely on the protein Mff to capture the dynamin-related GTPase Drp1. The bottom row images (from (2)) show that overexpressing Mff breaks up mitochondrial networks (middle), but not when Drp1 is missing (right).. TOP ROW IMAGE COURTESY OF ERIC TAYLOR.

Dynamin GTPase activity increases when it oligomerizes either into helices in the presence of lipid templates or into rings in the presence of SH3 domain proteins. Dynasore is a dynamin inhibitor of moderate potency (IC50 similar to 15 mu M in vitro). We show that dynasore binds stoichiometrically to detergents used for in vitro drug screening, drastically reducing its potency (IC50 = 479 mu M) and research tool utility. We synthesized a focused set of dihydroxyl and trihydroxyl dynasore analogs called the Dyngo (TM) compounds, five of which had improved potency, reduced detergent binding and reduced cytotoxicity, conferred by changes in the position and/or number of hydroxyl substituents. The Dyngo compound 4a was the most potent compound, exhibiting a 37-fold improvement in potency over dynasore for liposome-stimulated helical dynamin activity. In contrast, while dynasore about equally inhibited dynamin assembled in its helical or ring states, 4a and 6a exhibited >36-fold reduced activity ...

Dynamin is an atypical multidomain GTPase containing a large GTPase domain, which is well known for its critical role in budding or scission of transport vesicles (Schmid & Frolov, 2011; Ferguson & De Camilli, 2012). Distinct from other GTPases, previous biochemical studies and recent structural analyses showed that its GTPase catalytic activity is stimulated by oligomerization, which requires the involvement of the middle domain and the GED domain, where the GED domain serves as an intramolecular GAP to regulate its GTPase activity (Chappie et al, 2011; Faelber et al, 2011). However, how dynamin GTPase activity is regulated in cells is unclear. Although many Src homology 3 domain‐containing proteins, such as Grb2 and SNX9, stimulate dynamin GTPase activity, they are not GAPs because they increase GTPase activity indirectly via modulating the oligomerization of dynamin by interacting with its proline‐rich domain (PRD) (Gout et al, 1993). So far, the only intermolecular GAP that has been ...

5−10 fold). Only pthaladyn-23 (dynamin I IC50 17.4 ± 5.8 μM) was an effective inhibitor of dynamin I mediated synaptic vesicle endocytosis in brain synaptosomes with an IC50 of 12.9 ± 5.9 μM. This compound was also competitive with respect to Mg2+·GTP. Thus the pthaladyns are the first GTP competitive inhibitors of dynamin I and II GTPase and may be effective new tools for the study of neuronal endocytosis.. ...

Eps15 homology domain (EHD) proteins are conserved adenosine triphosphatases that are involved in membrane remodeling. EHD family members are structurally similar to the guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) dynamin, and both are essential for the fission step of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. This Journal Club highlights a recent study by Jakobsson et al. that reports the unexpected finding that, rather than having a redundant function, EHD can regulate dynamin activity. Dynamin helices assemble around the neck of budding endocytic vesicles; as dynamin helices lengthen, the neck of the growing bud may become so long that GTP hydrolysis is no longer sufficient to promote fission. EHD increases the efficiency of dynamin-induced fission by restricting the length of dynamin helices. Furthermore, EHD is able to bind both dynamin and amphiphysin. Therefore, we propose a model whereby amphiphysin recruits both EHD and dynamin in neurons to regulate clathrin-dependent synaptic vesicle endocytosis.. ...

Diverse glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins enter mammalian cells via the clathrin- and dynamin-independent, Arf1-regulated GPI-enriched early endosomal compartment/clathrin-independent carrier endocytic pathway. To characterize the determinants of GPI protein targeting to this pathway, we have used fluorescence microscopic analyses to compare the internalization of artificial lipid-anchored proteins, endogenous membrane proteins, and membrane lipid markers in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Soluble proteins, anchored to cell-inserted saturated or unsaturated phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-polyethyleneglycols (PEGs), closely resemble the GPI-anchored folate receptor but differ markedly from the transferrin receptor, membrane lipid markers, and even protein-free PE-PEGs, both in their distribution in peripheral endocytic vesicles and in the manner in which their endocytic uptake responds to manipulations of cellular Arf1 or dynamin activity. These findings suggest that the ...

The generation and maintenance of correct lumen size and shape is essential for the function of tubular organs. Now, Monn Monn Myat and co-workers report that p21-activated kinase (Pak1) plays a novel role during lumen formation in Drosophila embryonic salivary glands (see p. 4177). The researchers show that Pak1 regulates the size and elongation of the apical domain of individual epithelial cells in the developing gland by decreasing and increasing E-cadherin levels at adherens junctions and basolateral membranes, respectively. Pak1 mediates these effects, they report, through Rab5- and Dynamin-dependent endocytosis of E-cadherin. Moreover, constitutively active Pak1 induces the formation of multiple intercellular lumens in the gland, an effect that is dependent on Rab5 and Dynamin, and on the Pak1 substrate Merlin. Together, these results identify a crucial role for Pak1 and E-cadherin endocytosis in lumen size and shape determination in fly salivary glands, and highlight a mechanism for ...

The studies described here establish Dnm1p as an important regulator of mitochondrial morphology in yeast. In dnm1 mutants, the mitochondrial membranes fail to be distributed properly at the cortex and collapse to one side of the cell. In contrast, the loss of Dnm1p function has no apparent effect on the morphology and distribution of other cytoplasmic organelles, including nuclei, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, and vacuoles. Despite their unusual morphology, dnm1 mitochondria are able to generate a membrane potential and import a Cox4-GFP marker protein into the mitochondrial matrix, suggesting that basic organelle functions are not severely impaired. Unlike other yeast mitochondrial morphology mutants, which rapidly lose mtDNA and exhibit defects in mitochondrial inheritance (Hermann and Shaw, 1998), dnm1 mitochondria retain their mtDNA and are efficiently transported into buds during division. Together, our results indicate that Dnm1p plays a very specific role in defining ...

Mitochondrial fission and fusion proteins are highly expressed in myocardium. However, mitochondrial fission and fusion are rare, and mitochondrial networks are absent, in adult cardiomyocytes, obviating a need for morphometric mitochondrial remodeling. The critical role of mitochondrial dynamics factors in hearts, therefore, remains to be determined. In this issue of Circulation Research, Ikeda et al describe a central function for the mitochondrial fission protein, Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp-1), in macroautophagy and mitochondrial autophagy. Together with two other recent reports that cardiac-specific deletion of Drp1 perturbs mitophagy, these findings point to modulation of targeted mitochondrial elimination as a major quality control function for Drp1, and possibly other mitochondrial dynamism factors, in the heart.. Article, see p 264. Conventional wisdom is that mitochondria continuously undergo cyclic fission and fusion, collectively termed mitochondrial dynamism. Although observable ...

We found that diabetic Drp1S600A mice exhibited improved biochemical and histological features of DN along with reduced mitochondrial fission and diminished mitochondrial ROS in vivo. Importantly, we observed that the effect of Drp1S600 phosphorylation on mitochondrial fission in the diabetic milieu was stimulus dependent but not cell type dependent. Mechanistically, we show that mitochondrial fission in high-glucose conditions occurs through concomitant binding of phosphorylated Drp1S600 with mitochondrial fission factor (MFF) and ...

Bone development is controlled by osteoblasts however the signaling protein that control osteoblast differentiation and function remain unclear. not the phosphorylation mutant dynY231F/Y597F. Although ALP activity was increased in osteoblasts expressing GTPase-defective dynK44A, and to a lesser extent dynY231F/Y597F, osteoblast migration was significantly inhibited by dynK44A and dynY231F/Y597F. These studies demonstrate a novel role for dynamin GTPase activity and phosphorylation in osteoblast differentiation and migration, which may be important for bone formation.

Live imaging of mitochondria with fluorescent probes unraveled their restless shape restyling all along cell life. Chopping and reconstructing of mitochondrial membranes was soon attributed to large GTPases of the dynamin family and appeared to accompany crucial pathways, from the distribution of mitochondria to daughter cells during cell division, to making release of proapoptotic molecules from mitochondria easier during programmed cell death. Recently, fusion and fission events were shown to apply to other subcellular organelles, including peroxisomes. In addition, proteins modeling mitochondrial morphology were observed on other organelles. A single shared shaping machinery appears to be suitable to the coordination of relevant pathways involving different organelles. Here, we describe our recent discovery of the involvement of the fission protein Drp1 in shaping morphology of the endoplasmic reticulum: morphological defects impinge on ER performances, in particular the ability of the cell ...

Cholesterol helps to stabilize membrane fluidity and many membrane proteins interact with cholesterol and are functionally clustered in cholesterol rich rafts. Synaptic vesicle (SV) membranes are enriched in cholesterol in comparison to other organelles. Attempts to study the function of this high cholesterol content have been hampered by the inability to extract cholesterol from SVs in live presynaptic terminals. Here, we describe a method to extract vesicular cholesterol using a temperature-sensitive Drosophila dynamin mutant, shibire-ts1 (shi), to trap SVs on the plasma membrane. Trapped SVs are more accessible to cholesterol extraction by the cholesterol chelator, methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD). This method can likely be extended to extract other lipids from SVs and could also be used to add lipids. We speculate that this method could be used on mammalian preparations in conjunction with dynamin inhibitors. ...

The results of this study indicate that NOSTRIN interacts directly with the M3R and is required for its correct spatial localization at the plasma membrane in aortic endothelial cells. In the absence of NOSTRIN, the function of the M3R was markedly impaired, resulting in abolition of the calcium response to acetylcholine, an impaired activation of eNOS, and the inhibition of vascular relaxation. These changes at the cellular level were reflected in vivo in the existence of elevated blood pressure and diastolic dysfunction in NOSTRINΔEC mice.. The interaction of NOSTRIN with the M3R is to our knowledge the first example of an F-BAR protein interacting with a Gαq/11-protein-coupled receptor. The interaction is direct and involves the SH3 domain of NOSTRIN. The SH3 domain alone was not sufficient to bind to the M3R, indicating that additional motifs in NOSTRIN might be required. On the side of the M3R, the interaction with NOSTRIN involved the i3loop, which comprises 240 amino acids but contains ...

Dynamin, which is encoded by three genes in mammals, is a GTPase implicated in endocytic membrane fission. Dynamin 1 and 3 are predominantly expressed in brain, while dynamin 2 is ubiquitously expressed. With the goal of assessing the impact of the lack of dynamin on cell physiology, we previously generated and characterized dynamin 1 and 2 double KO (DKO) fibroblasts. These DKO cells were unexpectedly viable in spite of a severe impairment of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. As low-level expression of the dynamin 3 gene in these cells could not be excluded, we have now engineered dynamin 1, 2, and 3 triple KO (TKO) fibroblasts. These cells did not reveal any additional defects beyond what was previously observed in DKO fibroblasts. Surprisingly, while fluid phase endocytosis and peripheral membrane ruffling were not impaired by the lack of all three dynamins, two structurally similar, widely used dynamin inhibitors, dynasore and Dyngo-4a, robustly inhibited these two processes both in wild type ...

Link to Pubmed [PMID] - 24970086. Science 2014 Jun;344(6191):1510-5. Dynamin superfamily molecular motors use guanosine triphosphate (GTP) as a source of energy for membrane-remodeling events. We found that knockdown of nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDPKs) NM23-H1/H2, which produce GTP through adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-driven conversion of guanosine diphosphate (GDP), inhibited dynamin-mediated endocytosis. NM23-H1/H2 localized at clathrin-coated pits and interacted with the proline-rich domain of dynamin. In vitro, NM23-H1/H2 were recruited to dynamin-induced tubules, stimulated GTP-loading on dynamin, and triggered fission in the presence of ATP and GDP. NM23-H4, a mitochondria-specific NDPK, colocalized with mitochondrial dynamin-like OPA1 involved in mitochondria inner membrane fusion and increased GTP-loading on OPA1. Like OPA1 loss of function, silencing of NM23-H4 but not NM23-H1/H2 resulted in mitochondrial fragmentation, reflecting fusion defects. Thus, NDPKs interact with and ...

Dynamin is a large GTPase with a relative molecular mass of 96,000 (Mr 96K) that is involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis and other vesicular trafficking processes. Although its function is apparently essential for scission of newly formed vesicles from the plasma membrane, the nature of dynamins role in the scission process is still unclear. It has been proposed that dynamin is a regulator (similar to classical G proteins) of downstream effectors. Here we report the analysis of several point mutants of dynamins GTPase effector (GED) and GTPase domains. We show that oligomerization and GTP binding alone, by dynamin, are not sufficient for endocytosis in vivo. Rather, efficient GTP hydrolysis and an associated conformational change are also required. These data argue that dynamin has a mechanochemical function in vesicle scission.

Methamphetamine (METH) is an addictive drug that can cause toxicity and degeneration in the brain. Several pieces of evidence have demonstrated that METH toxicity results in increases in oxidative stress that regulate an intracellular signaling cascade that leads to cell death. Recently, several studies have emphasized that the overload of cytosolic calcium levels and mitochondrial fission into a small mitochondrial structure is involved in cell death processes. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of METH toxicity on cytosolic calcium overload and mitochondrial fission in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Additionally, the protective effect of melatonin against METH-induced toxicity was also investigated. The results of the present study demonstrated that METH significantly decreases cell viability and increases the levels of mitochondrial fission (Fis1 and Drp1) proteins and pro-apoptotic protein, Bax in isolated mitochondria. The levels of Drp1 in the cytosol of METH-treated cells had

Mitochondrial division is important for mitochondrial distribution and function. Recent data have demonstrated that ER-mitochondria contacts mark mitochondrial division sites, but the molecular basis and functions of these contacts are not understood. Here we show that in yeast, the ER-mitochondria tethering complex, ERMES, and the highly conserved Miro GTPase, Gem1, are spatially and functionally linked to ER-associated mitochondrial division. Gem1 acts as a negative regulator of ER-mitochondria contacts, an activity required for the spatial resolution and distribution of newly generated mitochondrial tips following division. Previous data have demonstrated that ERMES localizes with a subset of actively replicating mitochondrial nucleoids. We show that mitochondrial division is spatially linked to nucleoids and that a majority of these nucleoids segregate prior to division, resulting in their distribution into newly generated tips in the mitochondrial network. Thus, we postulate that ...

Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that constantly undergo fission and fusion events to adapt to changes in the cellular environment. Aberrant mitochondrial fission has been associated with several types of cardiovascular dysfunction; inhibition of pathologically aberrant mitochondrial fission has been shown to be cardioprotective. Pathological fission is mediated by the excessive activation of GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), making it an attractive therapeutic target in numerous cardiovascular diseases. Mitochondrial division inhibitor (mdivi-1) is widely used small molecule reported to inhibit Drp1-dependent fission, elongate mitochondria, and mitigate injury. The purpose of our study was to understand the pleiotropic effects of mdivi-1 on mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondrial respiration, electron transport activities, and macro-autophagy. In this study, we found that mdivi-1 treatment decreased Drp1 expression, proteolytically cleaved L-OPA1, and altered the expression of ...

Dynamin forms helical complexes at the neck of clathrin-coated pits and their structural changes coupled with GTP hydrolysis drive membrane fission. Dynamin and its binding protein amphiphysin cooperatively regulate membrane remodeling during the fission, but its precise mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we analyzed structural changes of dynamin-amphiphysin complexes during the membrane fission using electron microscopy (EM) and high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM). ...

Background: Mitochondrial fission is the dynamic process by which mitochondria are cleaved and fragmented. Recent reports suggest that pharmacologic inhibition of fission attenuates lethal ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury, thereby implying that fission contributes to cell death. However, the molecular mechanisms by which fission regulates cell fate are unresolved.. Hypothesis: We propose that: (i) I-R elicits the translocation of DRP1 (dynamin-related protein 1: a critical mediator of fission) from the cytosol to the mitochondria. Once in position, DRP1 will constrict the mitochondria, thereby (ii) facilitating release of Cytochrome C (Cyto C) into the cytosol and (iii) triggering apoptosis. If so, (iv) inhibition of DRP1 translocation will attenuate Cyto C release and offer cytoprotection.. Methods: In Protocol 1, cultured HL-1 cells underwent 2 h simulated I + 5, 30 or 120 min reoxygenation or a matched normoxic period. For each group, subcellular localization of DRP1 and Cyto C was resolved ...
