Abstract

Synaptotagmin-1 is the main Ca 2+ - s ensor of neuronal exocytosis. It binds to both Ca 2+ and the anionic phospholipid p hosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), but the precise cooperativity of this binding is still poorly understood. Here, we used microscale thermophoresis (MST) to quantify the cooperative binding of PIP2 and Ca 2+ to s ynaptotagmin-1. We find that PIP2 binds to the well-conserved polybasic patch of the C2B-domain with an apparent dissociation constant of ~20 μM. PIP2-binding reduces the apparent dissociation constant for Ca 2+ from ~ 250 μM to < 5 μM. Thus, our data show that PIP2 makes synaptotagmin-1 > 40-fold more sensitive for Ca 2+ . This interplay between C a 2+ , synaptotagmin-1 and PIP2 is crucial for n eurotransmitter release.
