Delineation of the pathogenic presynaptic mechanisms of synaptotagmin-1 variants

Holly Melland,
Kyla Venter,
Stephanie L. Leech
et al.

Abstract: Missense variants in the presynaptic calcium sensor synaptotagmin-1 (SYT1) are associated with an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD). These cause dominant-negative impairment of evoked neurotransmitter release in a mutation-specific manner; however, whether NDD-associated variants also perturb the auxiliary functions of SYT1 remains unknown. We investigated whether the expression of SYT1 variants in cultured hippocampal neurons altered either action potential-independent spontaneous synaptic … Show more

“…We also explored alternative mechanisms of pathogenicity beyond dominant-negative effects, by examining how SY1 variants impact protein expression and transport. In keeping with observations from C2B variants studied to date (Baker et al, 2015; Baker et al, 2018; Melland et al, 2023), most of the investigated SYT1 variants across the C2A and C2B domains had no impact on nerve terminal expression or trafficking of SYT1, indicating that disruption to protein stability and expression are not common consequences of SYT1 missense variants.…”

“…previously investigated SYT1 C2B variants slow evoked exocytosis without having dominantnegative impacts on the additional functions of SYT1 as a clamp for spontaneous neurotransmitter release and a modulator of endocytosis (Melland et al, 2023). It therefore remains possible that the newly-identified SYT1 variants may additionally impact these other presynaptic processes.…”
