Amphiphysin is necessary for organization of the excitation–contraction coupling machinery of muscles, but not for synaptic vesicle endocytosis inDrosophila

Abstract: Amphiphysins 1 and 2 are enriched in the mammalian brain and are proposed to recruit dynamin to sites of endocytosis. Shorter amphiphysin 2 splice variants are also found ubiquitously, with an enrichment in skeletal muscle. At the Drosophila larval neuromuscular junction, amphiphysin is localized postsynaptically and amphiphysin mutants have no major defects in neurotransmission; they are also viable, but flightless. Like mammalian amphiphysin 2 in muscles, Drosophila amphiphysin does not bind clathrin, but ca… Show more

“…As noted above, the protein encoded by the single Amphiphysin gene in the Drosophila genome (44) is believed to be more similar to the ubiquitous human Bin1 isoforms that lack this insertion than to mammalian Amphiphysin I or Amphiphysin II isoforms expressed in the central nervous system. Drosophila Amphiphysin therefore also lacks the 31 amino acid insertion in the BAR domain, and is dispensable for endocytosis and expressed predominantly in muscle, consistent with the notion that its function resembles one of the ubiquitous Bin1 isoforms (16)(17)(18).…”

“…When DLG expression was further increased using the strong muscle Gal4 driver C57, considerable amounts of DLG accumulated in the cortical network (Fig. 2G-J ) (Thomas et al, 2000;Razzaq et al, 2001). Although the abundance of DLG at NMJs remained primarily unaffected (Fig.…”

“…L'amphiphysine 2 (BIN1) est apparue comme un bon candidat par son implication dans le trafic membranaire, sa régulation par les phosphoinositides et son rôle dans la biogenèse des tubules-T du muscle squelettique [5], ces derniers semblant altérés dans les CNM liées au chromosome X. De plus, il a été montré que l'absence de l'orthologue de BIN1 chez la drosophile conduisait à des anomalies du muscle squelettique [6]. Nous avons tout d'abord identifié une mutation dans BIN1 créant un codon stop prématuré chez un malade atteint de CNM autosomique récessive.…”

“…Après des années de recherches infructueuses pour tenter d'identifier les cibles transcriptionnelles de C/EBPα, il semble qu'en réalité ce facteur ralentisse le cycle cellulaire en inhibant directement dans le foie, les kinases cdk2 et cdk4 [4,5] et potentiellement en interagissant avec les facteurs E2F et Rb (Retinoblastoma). Timchenko et son équipe (Houston, Texas) ont alors mis en évidence, spécifiquement dans le foie de souris âgées (22 mois), un complexe protéique de haut poids moléculaire qui comprend, en dehors du facteur C/EBPα, les protéines E2F4, Rb et Brahma (Brm) [6]. Des expériences d'immuno-précipitation ont alors montré que l'interaction protéique était directe entre C/EBPα et Brm.…”
