    Abstract In the secretory pathway the destination of trafficking vesicles is determined by specific proteins that, with the notable exception of SNAREs, are recruited from soluble pools. Previously we have shown that microinjected proteoliposomes containing early or late endosomal SNAREs, respectively, are targeted to the corresponding endogenous compartments, with targeting specificity being dependent on the recruitment of tethering factors by some of the SNAREs. Here, we show that targeting of SNARE-containing liposomes is refined upon inclusion of polyphosphoinositides and Rab5. Intriguingly, targeting specificity is dependent on the concentration of PtdIns(3)P, and on the recruitment of PtdIns(3)P binding proteins such as rabenosyn-5 and PIKfyve, with conversion of PtdIns(3)P into PtdIns(3,5)P2 re-routing the liposomes towards late endosomes despite the presence of GTP-Rab5 and early endosomal SNAREs. Our data reveal a complex interplay between permissive and inhibitory targeting signals that sharpen a basic targeting and fusion machinery for conveying selectivity in intracellular membrane traffic.

    Abstract Membrane traffic in eukaryotic cells is mediated by transport vesicles that bud from a precursor compartment and are transported to their destination compartment where they dock and fuse. To reach their intracellular destination, transport vesicles contain targeting signals such as Rab GTPases and polyphosphoinositides that are recognized by tethering factors in the cytoplasm and that connect the vesicles with their respective destination compartment. The final step, membrane fusion, is mediated by SNARE proteins. SNAREs are connected to targeting signals and tethering factors by multiple interactions. However, it is still debated whether SNAREs only function downstream of targeting and tethering or whether they also participate in regulating targeting specificity. Here, we review the evidence and discuss recent data supporting a role of SNARE proteins as targeting signals in vesicle traffic.

    Abstract Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) are a family of small conserved eukaryotic proteins that mediate membrane fusion between organelles and with the plasma membrane. SNAREs are directly or indirectly anchored to membranes. Prior to fusion, complementary SNAREs assemble between membranes with the aid of accessory proteins that provide a scaffold to initiate SNARE zippering, pulling the membranes together and mediating fusion. Recent advances have enabled the construction of detailed models describing bilayer transitions and energy barriers along the fusion pathway and have elucidated the structures of SNAREs complexed in various states with regulatory proteins. In this Review, we discuss how these advances are yielding an increasingly detailed picture of the SNARE-mediated fusion pathway, leading from first contact between the membranes via metastable non-bilayer intermediates towards the opening and expansion of a fusion pore. We describe how SNARE proteins assemble into complexes, how this assembly is regulated by accessory proteins and how SNARE complexes overcome the free energy barriers that prevent spontaneous membrane fusion.

    Abstract In neuronal cell types, vesicular exocytosis is governed by the SNARE (soluble NSF attachment receptor) complex consisting of synaptobrevin2, SNAP25, and syntaxin1. These proteins are required for vesicle priming and fusion. We generated an improved SNAP25-based SNARE COmplex Reporter (SCORE2) incorporating mCeruelan3 and Venus and overexpressed it in SNAP25 knockout embryonic mouse chromaffin cells. This construct rescues vesicle fusion with properties indistinguishable from fusion in wild-type cells. Combining electrochemical imaging of individual release events using electrochemical detector arrays with total internal reflection fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TIR-FRET) imaging reveals a rapid FRET increase preceding individual fusion events by 65 ms. The experiments are performed under conditions of a steady-state cycle of docking, priming, and fusion, and the delay suggests that the FRET change reflects tight docking and priming of the vesicle, followed by fusion after ~65 ms. Given the absence of wt SNAP25, SCORE2 allows determination of the number of molecules at fusion sites and the number that changes conformation. The number of SNAP25 molecules changing conformation in the priming step increases with vesicle size and SNAP25 density in the plasma membrane and equals the number of copies present in the vesicle-plasma membrane contact zone. We estimate that in wt cells, 6 to 7 copies of SNAP25 change conformation during the priming step.

    Abstract PROPPINs (β-propellers that bind polyphosphoinositides) are a protein family that binds preferentially phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P2) via its FRRG motif. PROPPINs are involved in autophagic functions, but their molecular mechanism is still elusive. To unravel the molecular mechanism of PROPPINs, it is essential to understand the PROPPIN-phosphoinositide binding. Here, we describe a protocol to study the kinetics of the PROPPIN-phosphoinositide binding using a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) stopped-flow approach. We use FRET between fluorophore-labeled protein and fluorophore-labeled liposomes, monitoring the increase of the acceptor emission in labeled liposomes after the protein-membrane binding. Through this approach, we studied the kinetics of the PROPPIN Atg18 (Autophagy-related protein 18) from Pichia angusta (PaAtg18) and a mutant of its FRRG motif, called FTTG mutant. Stopped-flow experiments demonstrated that the main function of the FRRG motif is to retain, instead of to drive, Atg18 to the membrane, decreasing the Atg18 dissociation rate. Furthermore, this method is suitable for the study of other PI-binding proteins.

    Abstract Synaptic vesicles (SVs) store neurotransmitters and undergo a fine-tuned regulatory and dynamic cycle of exo- and endocytosis, which is essential for neurotransmission at chemical synapses. The development of protocols for isolating SVs from biological extracts was a fundamental accomplishment since it allowed for characterizing the molecular properties of SVs using biochemical methods. In this chapter, we describe a modified procedure for isolating SVs from a few g of rodent brain and that can be completed within ~12 h. The protocol involves the preparation of isolated nerve terminals from which SVs are released by osmotic shock and then enriched via various centrifugation steps, followed by size exclusion chromatography as final purification step. The final vesicle fraction is 22-fold enriched in SVs over the starting material, and the final yield of SVs obtained using this protocol is approximately 20 μg of protein per gram of mouse brain. The degree of contamination by other organelles and particles monitored by morphology and immunolabeling compares well with that of the classical protocols.
