A Discrete Presynaptic Vesicle Cycle for Neuromodulator Receptors.

ABSTRACT: A major function of GPCRs is to inhibit presynaptic neurotransmitter release, requiring ligand-activated receptors to couple locally to effectors at terminals. The current understanding of how this is achieved is through receptor immobilization on the terminal surface. Here, we show that opioid peptide receptors, GPCRs that mediate highly sensitive presynaptic inhibition, are instead dynamic in axons. Opioid receptors diffuse rapidly throughout the axon surface and internalize after ligand-induced activation specifically at presynaptic terminals. We delineate a parallel regulated endocytic cycle for GPCRs operating at the presynapse, separately from the synaptic vesicle cycle, which clears activated receptors from the surface of terminals and locally reinserts them to maintain the diffusible surface pool. We propose an alternate strategy for achieving local control of presynaptic effectors that, opposite to using receptor immobilization and enforced proximity, is based on lateral mobility of receptors and leverages the inherent allostery of GPCR-effector coupling.

Project description:Understanding how neuromodulators regulate behavior requires investigating their effects on functional neural systems, but also their underlying cellular mechanisms. Utilizing extensively characterized lamprey motor circuits, and the unique access to reticulospinal presynaptic terminals in the intact spinal cord that initiate these behaviors, we investigated effects of presynaptic G-protein-coupled receptors on locomotion from the systems level, to the molecular control of vesicle fusion. 5-HT inhibits neurotransmitter release via a Gbetagamma interaction with the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex that promotes kiss-and-run vesicle fusion. In the lamprey spinal cord, we demonstrate that, although presynaptic 5-HT receptors inhibit evoked neurotransmitter release from reticulospinal command neurons, their activation does not abolish locomotion but rather modulates locomotor rhythms. Liberation of presynaptic Gbetagamma causes substantial inhibition of AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic responses but leaves NMDA receptor-mediated components of neurotransmission mostly intact. Because Gbetagamma binding to the SNARE complex is displaced by Ca(2+)-synaptotagmin binding, 5-HT-mediated inhibition displays Ca(2+) sensitivity. We show that, as Ca(2+) accumulates presynaptically during physiological bouts of activity, 5-HT/Gbetagamma-mediated presynaptic inhibition is relieved, leading to a frequency-dependent increase in synaptic concentrations of glutamate. This frequency-dependent phenomenon mirrors a shift in the vesicle fusion mode and a recovery of AMPA receptor-mediated EPSCs from inhibition without a modification of NMDA receptor EPSCs. We conclude that activation of presynaptic 5-HT G-protein-coupled receptors state-dependently alters vesicle fusion properties to shift the weight of NMDA versus AMPA receptor-mediated responses at excitatory synapses. We have therefore identified a novel mechanism in which modification of vesicle fusion modes may profoundly alter locomotor behavior.
