Abstract

Synaptotagmin I is a Ca2+-binding protein of synaptic vesicles that serves as a Ca2+ sensor for neurotransmitter release and was the first member found of a large family of trafficking proteins. We have now identified a novel synaptotagmin, synaptotagmin XI, that is highly expressed in brain and at lower levels in other tissues. Like other synaptotagmins, synaptotagmin XI has a single transmembrane region and two cytoplasmic C2-domains but is most closely related to synaptotagmin IV with which it forms a new subclass of synaptotagmins. The first C2-domain of synaptotagmin I (the C2A-domain) binds phospholipids as a function of Ca2+ and contains a Ca2+-binding site, the C2-motif, that binds at least two Ca2+ ions via five aspartate residues and is conserved in most C2-domains (Shao, X., Davletov, B., Sutton, B., Südhof, T. C., Rizo, J. R. (1996) Science 273, 248-253). In the C2A-domains of synaptotagmins IV and XI, however, one of the five Ca2+-binding aspartates in the C2-motif is substituted for a serine, suggesting that these C2-domains do not bind Ca2+. To test this, we produced recombinant C2A-domains from synaptotagmins IV and XI with either wild type serine or mutant aspartate in the C2-motif. Circular dichroism showed th...Continue Reading
