Munc13-1 is a presynaptic protein with an essential role in synaptic vesicle priming. It contains a diacylglycerol (DAG)/beta phorbol ester binding C(1) domain and is a potential target of the DAG second messenger pathway that may act in parallel with PKCs. Using genetically modified mice that express a DAG/beta phorbol ester binding-deficient Munc13-1(H567K) variant instead of the wild-type protein, we determined the relative contribution of PKCs and Munc13-1 to DAG/beta phorbol ester-dependent regulation of neurotransmitter release. We show that Munc13s are the main presynaptic DAG/beta phorbol ester receptors in hippocampal neurons. Modulation of Munc13-1 activity by second messengers via the DAG/beta phorbol ester binding C(1) domain is essential for use-dependent alterations of synaptic efficacy and survival.
Munc13-1是一种突触前蛋白,在突触小泡启动过程中起关键作用。它含有一个二酰基甘油(DAG)/β佛波酯结合C(1)结构域,是DAG第二信使途径的潜在靶点,可能与蛋白激酶C(PKC)平行发挥作用。通过使用表达缺乏DAG/β佛波酯结合能力的Munc13-1(H567K)变体而非野生型蛋白的基因改造小鼠,我们确定了PKC和Munc13-1对DAG/β佛波酯依赖性神经递质释放调节的相对贡献。我们发现Munc13s是海马神经元中主要的突触前DAG/β佛波酯受体。第二信使通过DAG/β佛波酯结合C(1)结构域对Munc13-1活性的调节对于突触效能和存活的使用依赖性改变至关重要。
