Calcium-dependent interaction of N-type calcium channels with the synaptic core complex.

Abstract:

:Neurotransmitter release is initiated by influx of Ca2+ through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, within 200 microseconds of the action potential arriving at the synaptic terminal, as the Ca2+ concentration increases from 100 nM to > 200 microM. Exocytosis requires high Ca2+ concentration, with a threshold of 20-50 microM and half-maximal activation at 190 microM. The synaptic membrane proteins syntaxin, 25K synaptosome-associated protein (SNAP25), and vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)/synaptobrevin, are thought to form a synaptic core complex which mediates vesicle docking and membrane fusion. Synaptotagmin may be the low-affinity Ca(2+)-sensor, but other Ca(2+)-sensors are involved as residual neurotransmission persists in synaptotagmin-null mutants. Syntaxin binds to N-type Ca2+ channels at a site in the intracellular loop connecting domains II and III. Here we describe Ca(2+)-dependent interaction of this site with syntaxin and SNAP25 which has a biphasic dependence on Ca2+, with maximal binding at 20 microM free Ca2+, near the threshold for transmitter release. Ca(2+)-dependent interaction of Ca2+ channels with the synaptic core complex may be important for Ca(2+)-dependent docking and fusion of synaptic vesicles.
