Abstract
SummaryFollowing exocytosis, the recapture of vesicular proteins stranded at the plasma membrane in recycling synaptic vesicles (SVs) is essential to sustain neurotransmission. Nanoclustering is emerging as a mechanism through which proteins may be ‘pre-assembled’ prior to endocytosis, to ensure high fidelity of retrieval for subsequent rounds of vesicle fusion. Here, we used single molecule imaging to examine the nanoclustering of synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1) and synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A). Syt1 forms surface nanoclusters through interaction of its C2B domain (K326/K328) with SV2A, as demonstrated by mutating Syt1 (K326A/K328A) and knocking down endogenous SV2A. Blocking cognate interaction with Syt1 (SV2AT84A) also decreased SV2A clustering. Impaired nanoclustering of Syt1 and SV2A leads to accelerated endocytosis of Syt1, altered intracellular sorting and decreased trafficking of Syt1 to a Rab5-positive endocytic pathway. We conclude that the interaction between SV2A and Syt1 locks both molecules into surface nanoclusters, controlling their entry into recycling SVs.
