Regulation of large dense-core vesicle volume and neurotransmitter content mediated by adaptor protein 3

Abstract: Adaptor protein 3 (AP-3) is a vesicle-coat protein that forms a heterotetrameric complex. Two types of AP-3 subunits are found in mammalian cells. Ubiquitous AP-3 subunits are expressed in all tissues of the body, including the brain. In addition, there are neuronal AP-3 subunits that are thought to serve neuron-specific functions such as neurotransmitter release. In this study, we show that overexpression of neuronal AP-3 in mouse chromaffin cells results in a striking decrease in the neurotransmitter content… Show more

“…Cholesterol-enriched membranes also support SNARE-mediated exocytosis (42), and reduced granule cholesterol content could alter the assembly or function of SNARE complexes. Alternatively, the impaired insulin secretion could reflect retention of a negative regulator of exocytosis during granule maturation (26), particularly since cholesterol contributes to assembly of membrane microdomains during vesicle budding and the granule morphology we observe is similar to that observed in other examples of impaired membrane sorting (43).…”

“…[15, 16] Adaptor-related protein complex 3, beta-2 subunit (AP3B2; OMIM #602166) is part of a neuron-specific heterotetrameric vesicle-coat protein complex which is thought to play an important role in neurotransmitter release. [17] However, it is unlikely that deletion of either of these genes is solely responsible for the cognitive deficits seen in 15q25 deletion patients since at least one loss of AP3B2 and at least six losses of CPEB1 have been reported among normal controls in the Database of Genomic Variants (Supplemental Table 6). …”

“…Catecholamine secretion from chromaffin cells was monitored by amperometry using carbon-fiber electrodes as described previously (Grabner et al 2006). The electrode was held at ϩ700 mV versus a ground electrode using an NPI VA-10 amplifier to oxidize catecholamine transmitter.…”
