  1. Dynamic networks & clathrin-mediated endocytosis Eva Schmid (LMB Cambridge) Marijn Ford (now at UC Davis) Gerrit Praefcke (now at Cologne)

  2. What is a Hub? Are they static? Why have them?

  3. At the synapse speed and fidelity are important to ensure the quantal nature and reliability of synaptic vesicle exocytosis speed fidelity

  4. What is Fidelity? Exo Endo

  5. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis The overall process is a series of linear steps but at the same time it is a series of simultaneous micro-reactions(e.g. cargo recruitment, membrane invagination and coat assembly occurring in parallel)

  6. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis The overall process is a series of linear steps but at the same time it is a series of simultaneous micro-reactions(e.g. cargo recruitment, membrane invagination and coat assembly occurring in parallel)

  7. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis The overall process is a series of linear steps but at the same time it is a series of simultaneous micro-reactions(e.g. cargo recruitment, membrane invagination and coat assembly occurring in parallel) Involving clathrin, adaptors (AP2) and at least 20 different accessory proteins

  8. The endocytic interactome Accessory Proteins (over 20 different proteins bind to the AP2 a-appendage) Hubs

  9. The AP2 hub binds to accessory proteins via it appendage domains

  10. The a-appendage: two independent binding sites W840 Top Site Peptide containing an FxDxF motif Binds with an affinity of 4.6mM F740 Side Site Peptide containing a WVxF motif Binds with an affinity of 0.7mM

  11. Endocytic accessory proteins have a similar overall structure Structured domains • Protein:protein interaction domains • with no obvious tertiary structure • Contain multiple motifs, short amino acid sequences, • Please don’t call them ‘unstructured domains’ as they may have some secondary structure!! Motif domains Epsin

  12. Structured domains Motif domains AP2 a-motifs

  13. Eps15 affinity for the a-appendage Eps15 Motif Domain

  14. Eps15 affinity for the a-appendage contains 15 repeats of the sequence DPF

  15. Eps15 affinity for the a-appendage + 2-3 sites of 16mM 1 site of 20nM So not all 15 motifs are available for simultaneous interactions

  16. Eps15 affinity for the a-appendage 2-3 sites of 16mM 1 site of 20nM 16mM 16mM 16mM 20nM • From mutagenesis we know that the 20nM affinity is due to occupation of both top and side sites of one appendage • Thus this is a novel way to gain high affinity yet a readily reversible interaction… ie. 2 linear peptides linked by a flexible linker

  17. Eps15 affinity for the a-appendage 2-3 sites of 16mM 1 site of 20nM • Eps15 with its simultaneous interactions with 4 appendage domains could help to cluster AP2s at sites of endocytosis

  18. Motif domains are not unstructured and linear But neither are they stable globular domains. They are designed to package motifs in an efficient manner, such that when one motif is occupied then further motifs are exposed Motif Motif domain a-appen- dage ‘structural cooperativity’ in motif binding

  19. This low structural stability means that these motif domains can search a wide range of space for potential ligands

  20. This low structural stability means that these motif domains can search a wide range of space for potential ligands Like a fishing line with lots of hooks…… But for entropic and statistical reasons the domain will prefer a more compact fold And thus the hooks will gather ligands back to the core folded domains

  21. Motif:domain interactions • A novel way to gain relatively high affinity and yet reversibility • Give rise to dynamic instability (a necessary characteristic of many cellular processes) • Allow cross-linking/multimerisation of binding targets • Efficient packaging of many different interactions surfaces • Multiple interactions that filter noise • A way to search space and draw ligands to a point

  22. The network behaviour makes sense….. • Clathrin is an organising hub, not a protein recruitment hub. This ensures that empty clathrin cages do not form in the absence of membranes and cargo • AP2 does not self assemble, and only weakly binds to cargo. This ensures that cargo recruitment, membrane bending and polymerisation are tightly coupled.

  23. Properties of endocytic and other biological networks (feed forward and competitive loops) Noise reduction: Low affinity interactions ensure that processes are only activated on coincidence of several signals Information processing: The multimeric state of the AP2 hub allows it to bind multiple ligands according to their relative affinities and concentrations. Thus the hub integrates information. The competition between AP2 and clathrin also means that there is a sensing of the commitment along the endocytic pathway (the process gestalts).

  24. Building the network around AP2….

  25. There are 4 potential ligand interaction sites on each AP2 complex

  26. Thus 4 potential ligand interaction sites on each AP2 complex. Does this make it a HUB?

  27. Thus 4 potential ligand interaction sites on each AP2 complex.Does this make it a HUB? No

  28. It is the concentration of AP2s on the membrane that gives it the ability to bind multiple partners according to affinities and concentrations AP2 hub zone

  29. AP2 in solution Changing hubs gives directionality Recruitment of AP2 to membrane and concentration Clathrin polymerisation

  30. The clathrin hub Miele et al 2004 Ter Haar et al 2002 b3 adaptor hinge LLDLD Amph WxxW

  31. AP2 in solution Changing hubs gives directionality Recruitment of AP2 to membrane and concentration Clathrin polymerisation • Only on self-polymerisation does clathrin become a hub

  32. Clathrin binding to the b -appendage displaces ligands, pushing accessory proteins to the edge of a clathrin-coated pit (appendage assembly zones) Clathrin b -appendage

  33. Clathrin binding to the b -appendage displaces ligands, pushing accessory proteins to the edge of a clathrin-coated pit (appendage assembly zones) Clathrin terminal domain

  34. Clathrin binding to the b -appendage displaces ligands, pushing accessory proteins to the edge of a clathrin-coated pit (appendage assembly zones)

  35. Clathrin binding to the b -appendage displaces ligands, pushing accessory proteins to the edge of a clathrin-coated pit (appendage assembly zones)

  36. How clathrin-coated pits mature… affinity avidity matricity • Sequential displacement of core and accessory proteins (affinity matures to avidity matures to matricity) • The process is pulled forward from the end

  37. How clathrin-coated pits mature… affinity avidity matricity

  38. How clathrin-coated pits mature… ATP GTP • Sequential displacement of core and accessory proteins (affinity matures to avidity matures to matricity) • The process is pulled forward from the end

  39. A Network view of clathrin-coated vesicle formation A AP2 adaptors sense lipids, cargo, accessory proteins and other cargo adaptors AP2

  40. B Building the cage: AP2 network hub is stabilized through crosslinking by accessory proteins AP2

  41. C Clathrin is recruited and polymerisation stabilises the forming vesicle. AP2 loses its position as a hub. Clathrin is the new organising hub AP2

  42. D Dynamin and other late interacting partners (like uncoating factors) start to function The point of no return. AP2

  43. E Energy is used to re-prime the system for a new start. AP2

  44. AP2 in solution Changing hubs gives directionality Recruitment of AP2 to membrane and concentration Clathrin polymerisation • Only on self-polymerisation does clathrin become a hub • Note: in a clathrin-coated pit one has a snap-shot of the network at several different stages

  45. AP2 hubs and clathrin hubs co-exist at the same time, but spatially separated

  46. In a coated-pit there may even be the beginning stages of uncoating, as the lipid phosphatase begins to work under the clathrin lattice

  47. This means that fluorescent imaging will frequently not have the resolution to deduce the time dependence of recruitment

  48. But… we can deduce this information from the path-length in the network……

  49. Early and late events can be predicted… Time 1 2 Cage formation 3 Vesicle scission 3’ A short path-length gives an immediate response To put a time delay in the response an additional interaction step is added Uncoating and repriming of molecules

  50. This view maintains that: Overexpression of a pathway hub will have little phenotype Underexpression of a pathway hub will have a major phenotype Overexpression of an accessory node will have a major phenotype Underexpression of an accessory node will have little phenotype Hubs
