PRD) impaired trafficking of vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSVG)-GFP in vivo. By contrast, full-length syndapin II-l had no negative effect, and instead promoted VSVG-GFP export from the Golgi. Importantly, a cytosolic fraction containing endogenous syndapin-dynamin complexes was sufficient to promote vesicle formation from Golgi membranes in a syndapin-dependent manner. Thus, syndapin-dynamin complexes are crucial and sufficient to promote vesicle formation from the trans-Golgi network.

). The syndapins belong to the so-called accessory proteins in endocytosis and interact with the large GTPase dynamin, which has a crucial role in endocytic vesicle fission (for reviews, see Hinshaw, 2000; Qualmann and Kessels, 2002; Slepnev and De Camilli, 2000). As dynamin works in close conjunction with SH3-domain-containing accessory proteins, an excess of syndapin SH3 domains inhibits endocytic vesicle formation in in vitro reconstitution assays (Simpson et al., 1999) as well as in vivo (Qualmann and Kelly, 2000). Quantitative electron microscopical analyses of cells with inhibited endocytosis showed an increase of clathrin-coated structures (da Costa et al., 2003). In in vitro reconstitution assays, the SH3-domain-mediated block could specifically be assigned to the final dynamin-dependent fission step of vesicle formation (Simpson et al., 1999). Furthermore, a set of experiments indicated that syndapins and their protein interactions are crucial for the process of endocytic vesicle formation (Kessels and Qualmann, 2002; Braun et al., 2005).
Further analyses of syndapin functions strongly suggested that syndapins are also capable of interfacing with the actin polymerization machinery Arp2/3 complex through a direct binding of its catalytic activator N-WASP. In living cells, this interaction manifests in an increase of actin polymerization dependent on the Arp2/3 complex (Qualmann and Kelly, 2000; Kessels and Qualmann, 2002; da Costa et al., 2003). Syndapins might thus help spatially and temporally to organize and control the process of endocytic vesicle formation within the environment of the cortical actin cytoskeleton (reviewed by Kessels and Qualmann, 2004), which might support the vesicle formation process by several means (Qualmann et al., 2000; Qualmann and Kessels, 2002).
Our most recent analyses suggest that syndapins also have an important role in vesicle formation from the endosomal recycling compartment (Braun et al., 2005). Here, we show that syndapin II localizes to the Golgi and interacts with the proline-rich domain (PRD) of dynamin II. This dynamin isoform is predominantly found in peripheral tissues and seems to be of importance for Golgi vesicle formation (McNiven et al., 2000; Praefcke and McMahon, 2004). In accordance with its cellular localization (Maier et al., 1996), dynamin-specific antibodies inhibited vesicle formation at Golgi cisternae in vitro (Jones et al., 1998; J. Dong, Impact of dynamin II domains on the function of dynamin II in vesicle formation at the trans-Golgi network, PhD thesis, Free University of Berlin, 2001) and expression of dominant-negative dynamin II constructs inhibited membrane protein export from the Golgi complex and disrupted Golgi structure (Kreitzer et al., 2000; Cao et al., 2000). Our data show that complexes of syndapin II with dynamin II have an essential role in transport vesicle formation from the Golgi, suggesting a striking similarity between the molecular mechanisms of vesicle formation at the plasma membrane and the Golgi complex.

). These data suggest that syndapins have a more general role in vesicle formation processes. Vesicle formation from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) seems somewhat similar to vesicle formation from the plasma membrane (Kessels and Qualmann, 2004; Kessels and Qualmann, 2005). We thus asked whether syndapins might form complexes with dynamin II, because this isoform of the dynamin family has been described as being involved in vesicle formation from the TGN (Jones et al., 1998; Kreitzer et al., 2000; Cao et al., 2000; J. Dong, PhD thesis). Analyses of HepG2 cell extracts showed that dynamin II and the ubiquitously expressed syndapin II isoform co-fractionate in 10-30% glycerol gradients (Fig. 1). Dynamin II distributed through the gradient with major fractions in the range between 100 and 400 kDa, suggesting the existence of a variety of dynamin II complexes (Fig. 1A). Most syndapin II can be found in fractions 6-8, corresponding to about 120-200 kDa (Fig. 1B). Dynamin also showed its highest abundance in these fractions (Fig. 1A). Little syndapin II can be found in fraction 9, which roughly corresponds to the calculated molecular mass of a single syndapin II (51 kDa and 56 kDa, depending on the splice variant) (Fig. 1B). These observations suggest that syndapins exist mostly in higher order protein complexes, which are at least partially stable in glycerol gradients and might contain dynamin II.

; Qualmann and Kelly, 2000). Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged dynamin II expressed in HEK293 cells was efficiently co-precipitated by the GST-syndapin II SH3 domain, but not by GST alone (Fig. 2A). The interaction was dynamin II specific, because a GFP control was not precipitated. The association of syndapin II with dynamin II was observed irrespective of dynamin II alternative splicing. Syndapin II interacted about equally strongly with dynamin IIaa-GFP, dynamin IIab-GFP and dynamin IIIbb-GFP (Fig. 2A). Since no binding to dynamin IIaaPRD-GFP was detected, we can conclude that the association requires the PRD of dynamin II (Fig. 2A).
|
To demonstrate that the PRD of dynamin II is not only required but is also sufficient for binding, we offered HepG2 cell lysates to immobilized dynamin II PRD fusion proteins. Endogenous syndapin II was specifically and effectively precipitated by the dynamin II PRD but not by the PH domain used as a control (Fig. 2B). Similar results were obtained with rat brain extracts (not shown).
The fact that the syndapin II SH3 domain and the PRD of dynamin II were sufficient for the association suggested a direct interaction between the SH3 domain and the PXXP motif within the PRD. We thus performed in vitro reconstitutions with purified GST-syndapin II SH3 domain and immobilized S-PRD. The observed complex formation (Fig. 2C) indicated a stable and direct association of the syndapin II SH3 domain with the PRD of dynamin II in vitro.
Syndapin II and dynamin II co-localize and interact in vivo
To obtain some hints on whether and where syndapin II and dynamin II interact in vivo, we performed immunofluorescence experiments with Xpress-tagged syndapin II-l and dynamin IIaa-GFP, a splice variant of dynamin II that had been demonstrated to localize to the Golgi complex (Cao et al., 1998). As shown in Fig. 3, we observed a clear co-localization of dynamin II and syndapin II within cells. This co-localization was observable both in perinuclear areas as well as in the periphery of the cells. Peripheral accumulations of both proteins were especially observed in cell protrusions that were of lamellipodial appearance (Fig. 3).
|
The spatial overlap of syndapin II and dynamin II prompted us to analyze complex formation of both proteins in vivo. Immunoprecipitation experiments showed that anti-syndapin II antibodies not only precipitated endogenous syndapin II from HepG2 cell extracts but also co-immunoprecipitated endogenous dynamin II (Fig. 4A). Neither dynamin II nor syndapin II associated with control IgGs. Co-immunoprecipitations of endogenous syndapin-dynamin complexes were also observed with the anti-dynamin II antibody sc-6401 (Fig. 4A).
|
Syndapin II was completely immunoprecipitated by anti-syndapin II antibodies as well as by the anti-dynamin II antibody sc-6401 (Fig. 4A,B), indicating that syndapin II is predominantly found in complex with dynamin II. However, dynamin II seems to be present in a molar excess over syndapin II because a sub-pool of dynamin II was still readily detectable in the supernatant after immunoprecipitation with anti-syndapin II antibodies (Fig. 4B).
We next evaluated whether syndapin II and dynamin II could form complexes in close proximity to membranes. We used a targeting system that we have developed for in vivo reconstitution of protein complexes at defined intracellular membranes (Kessels and Qualmann, 2002). It allows for protein incorporations into the outer mitochondrial membrane in such a way that proteins of interest face the cytoplasm (Kessels and Qualmann, 2002). Indeed, both mito-syndapin II-l and the corresponding P480L mutant were efficiently targeted to mitochondria, as demonstrated by a very high degree of co-localization with MitoTracker® (see Fig. 5A for an example).

The intracellular distribution of syndapin II includes an association with Golgi membranes
As interactions between syndapin II and dynamin II within the cytosol and at membranes could solely represent the established endocytic role of syndapins, we next analyzed the intracellular distribution of endogenous syndapin II more closely. Earlier analyses have focused on the localization of syndapin II to cortical regions of PC12 cells and to areas of the plasma membrane forming filopodia and lamellipodia (Qualmann and Kelly, 2000). In addition, there seems to be a large cytosolic and also a perinuclear pool of the protein. Fractionation of HepG2 cell extracts showed that syndapin II is predominantly in the cytoplasm (not shown). However, a minor portion was bound to membranes stable enough to float up on 10-30% glycerol gradients (Fig. 1; fractions 10 and 11). When light membranes isolated from HepG2 cells were floated through 1.18 M sucrose – an efficient way to isolate Golgi-enriched membranes that are free of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and endosomal contaminations (Westermann et al., 1996) – syndapin II was found both bound to light membranes and to Golgi-enriched membranes, whereas membranes of a higher density were found not to be associated with syndapin II (Fig. 6A). This observation underlines the specificity of membrane binding of syndapin II.
|
A pre-incubation of HepG2 cells at 20°C to block the formation of vesicles from the Golgi (Griffiths et al., 1985) increased membrane binding of syndapin II (Fig. 6A). This finding might suggest a role of syndapin II in the formation of vesicles from the Golgi. To provide further evidence for an association of syndapin II with the Golgi complex, we studied the localization of syndapin II in COS-7 cells. Untransfected cells labeled with a syndapin II-specific antibody (P339) (Qualmann and Kelly, 2000) showed a very weak staining that reflected the generally low expression levels of syndapin II isoforms. Immunostaining was detectable in the cytoplasm and in circular structures adjacent to the nuclei (Fig. 6B,E). Cells transfected with Xpress-tagged syndapin II-l showed signals of varying intensity but were often also marked by perinuclear syndapin II accumulations (Fig. 6B and short exposure insert in 6B).
Immunostaining for syntaxin 6, a SNARE protein residing in the membranes of the TGN (Bock et al., 1997), led to signals confined to perinuclear sites, which also often appeared circular (Fig. 6C,F). Superimposition of the syndapin II and syntaxin 6 staining revealed a co-localization of both proteins at the TGN (Fig. 6D,G), which is especially well seen at high magnification (Fig. 6E-G). In addition, a co-localization of syndapin II and TGN38, another marker of the TGN, was observed in HeLa cells (J.D. and P.W., unpublished).
To prove that the observed co-localization of syndapin II and syntaxin 6 indeed reflects localization to the TGN, the cells were incubated with brefeldin A (BFA). BFA treatment leads to fusion of the Golgi complex with the ER and to a collapse of the TGN. Many cells treated with BFA displayed an intense syntaxin 6 staining that was condensed to small areas adjacent to the nucleus (Fig. 6I,L). Other cells completely lacked a perinuclear-accumulated signal but instead showed a weak and dispersed labeling. Similar effects were observed with anti-TGN38 antibodies (not shown). No labeling of endogenous (Fig. 6H) or overexpressed syndapin II (Fig. 6K) was present at sites of condensed syntaxin 6 staining, as clearly shown in merged images (Fig. 6J,M), but a dispersed syndapin distribution was observed. Thus, the syndapin II co-localization with integral TGN proteins was abolished in cells lacking a functional TGN.
Syndapin II protein complexes have a crucial role in formation of transport vesicles from Golgi membranes in vitro
Previous studies have provided evidence for an essential function of dynamin II in the formation of transport vesicles at Golgi membranes (Jones et al., 1998; J. Dong, PhD thesis). Our biochemical, immunocytochemical and cell biological data suggest that this function might involve syndapin II. To examine whether syndapins are crucial for this process and, specifically, whether interactions of the syndapin SH3 domain with dynamin II are required, we used an experimental system invented by Tooze and Huttner that allows the reconstitution, measurement and manipulation of the budding of vesicles from isolated Golgi membranes in vitro (Tooze and Huttner, 1992; Westermann et al., 1996; Dong et al., 2000b). The assay has been extensively characterized (Westermann et al., 1996; Dong et al., 2000b) and is based on the incubation of cell extracts with ATP, GTP, an ATP-regenerating system and the subsequent isolation of newly formed vesicles by differential centrifugation. Newly synthesized, mature proteins were labeled and accumulated in the TGN according to Griffiths et al. (Griffiths et al., 1985) by labeling of HepG2 cells with [35S]methionine at 37°C and subsequent incubation at 20°C in the presence of excess unlabeled methionine. Transport vesicles formed were isolated by differential centrifugation and vesicle-bound radioactivity was determined. Under standard assay conditions, about 30% of labeled luminal proteins are packed into transport vesicles. To compare packaging ratios of different experiments, the corresponding standard values of each experiment were arbitrarily set to 100. In a first set of experiments, we addressed the potential role of syndapin-dynamin complexes by adding purified recombinant GST-syndapin SH3 domain to the cytosol, which is required for the reconstitution of vesicle formation. We observed that the addition of GST-syndapin II SH3 inhibited vesicle formation from Golgi membranes in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 7A, circles). The impact of another dynamin-binding SH3 domain, that of amphiphysin, was significantly weaker than that of the syndapin II SH3 domain (Fig. 7A, squares). However, both SH3 domains had clear and dose-dependent inhibitory effects on vesicle formation (Fig. 7A). Since the addition of GST alone was not inhibitory (data not shown), the inhibitory effect of the SH3 domains was specific.
|
To examine the functional importance of syndapin II for vesicle formation, we added an anti-syndapin II antiserum to the cytosol required for supporting the Golgi budding assays (Fig. 7B). The antiserum is highly specific for the syndapin II isoform and does not recognize syndapin I (Fig. 7C), and was found to inhibit vesicle formation (Fig. 7B, circles). This inhibition of vesicle formation was again strongly dose dependent (Fig. 7B, circles). As a control, we depleted the antiserum for anti-syndapin II antibodies by consecutive pre-incubations with two immobilized syndapin fusion proteins. After such pre-incubations, the serum no longer contained any anti-syndapin II antibodies (Fig. 7C) and was no longer able to interfere with vesicle formation (Fig. 7B; filled squares). Thus, the anti-syndapin II antibodies that were removed were responsible for the inhibition.
The interaction of the syndapin II SH3 domain with the dynamin II PRD is important for vesicle formation from the TGN in vivo
To prove that our detailed mechanistical analyses in vitro reflect the situation in vivo, we followed the trafficking of TGN-derived vesicles to the plasma membrane by labeling them with a temperature-sensitive vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSVG)-GFP, according to Cao et al. (Cao et al., 2000) and asked whether interfering with the interaction between syndapin II and dynamin II by different means would inhibit membrane trafficking from the TGN. In control cells transfected with VSVG-GFP alone, VSVG-GFP accumulated in the ER at 40°C, as previously described by Presley et al. (Presley et al., 1997). Upon shifting the cells to 32°C, VSVG underwent ER-to-Golgi transport within minutes. The time point of 15 minutes thus served as a start for our Golgi-to-PM chase. After this time, the ER staining was strongly reduced and VSVG-GFP was strongly accumulated in a perinuclear spot representing the Golgi (Fig. 8A). After 45 minutes at 32°C, the VSVG fluorescence was somewhat decreased in the Golgi area and started to appear within the periphery of cells transfected with VSVG-GFP (not shown). After 90 minutes, the cells showed a relatively continuous plasma membrane localization of VSVG-GFP and, correspondingly, fluorescence within the Golgi area was markedly reduced (Fig. 8B).

PRD; Fig. 2A), after 90 minutes the cells still largely displayed a situation very similar to the 15 minutes time point of the VSVG-GFP chase (Fig. 8C,D). VSVG-GFP was still strongly accumulated in the Golgi area and had not been transported effectively to the plasma membrane, suggesting an inhibition of TGN exit. Careful quantitative evaluations of the TGN-to-PM transport, which were essentially performed as described by Cao et al. (Cao et al., 2000), clearly showed that cells double transfected with dynamin IIPRD showed no reduction of averaged fluorescence signal within the region of interest during the 90 minutes chase (Fig. 8I). By contrast, examinations of VSVG-transfected control cells showed the expected significant reduction in fluorescence signal in the Golgi area after 90 minutes at 32°C (Fig. 8I).
Similar to interfering with interactions between dynamin II and syndapin II by overexpressing dynamin IIPRD, co-expression of the syndapin II SH3 domain had a marked inhibitory effect on Golgi-to-PM transport as well. The VSVG-GFP signal remained strongly accumulated in the perinuclear area in cells overexpressing the isolated dynamin-binding SH3 domain of syndapin II (Fig. 8F). Quantitative measurements demonstrated that there was no reduction of VSVG-GFP signal intensity in the perinuclear area of interest after 90 minutes compared with the start value (Fig. 8I).
Overexpression of full-length syndapin II-l, by contrast, had no inhibitory effect. After 90 minutes, cells overexpressing syndapin II-l displayed VSVG-GFP at the plasma membrane (Fig. 8H). Our quantitative evaluations confirmed the effective transport from the TGN towards the plasma membrane, as the fluorescence intensities in the perinuclear area measured at 90 minutes at 32°C were even lower than those in VSVG-GFP control cells (Fig. 8I). Quantitative examinations of an intermediate time point (45 minutes at 32°C) also showed that cells overexpressing syndapin II-l tend to transport VSVG-GFP out of the Golgi more effectively than do control cells (63.2±24.3% compared with 89.0±0.6%).
In summary, our quantitative functional studies demonstrate that interfering with interactions between dynamin II and syndapin II in living cells causes an inhibition of TGN exit, whereas increased syndapin II levels do not inhibit but instead cause some increase in Golgi-to-PM transport.
Syndapin II is a crucial component in TGN exit
Our in vitro reconstitutions strongly suggested that syndapin II is a crucial component of vesicle formation from Golgi membranes (Fig. 7). Furthermore, both our in vitro and our in vivo examinations demonstrated that SH3 domain interactions are explicitly involved (Figs 7 and 8). To test a putative dependency of vesicle formation from the TGN on syndapin II in vivo, we acutely interfered with syndapin functions by introducing anti-syndapin antibodies into cells expressing VSVG-GFP using the BioPorter method (Fig. 9). Introduction of anti-syndapin antibodies led to a potent block in TGN exit, as cells still displayed a perinuclear accumulation of the VSVG-GFP signal after 90 minutes at 32°C (Fig. 9D) that was similar to the distribution at the start time point (Fig. 9C). This inhibition is specifically a result of the anti-syndapin reagent introduced, as demonstrated by examining cells that were only treated with BioPorter alone or with anti-syndapin preimmune. In both cases, normal VSVG-GFP transport to the plasma membrane was observed, i.e. the cells displayed VSVG-GFP at the plasma membrane after 90 minutes at 32°C (data not shown and Fig. 9B, respectively). Quantitative measurements of the VSVG-GFP fluorescence in the perinuclear region of interest clearly confirmed the undisturbed transport in cells treated either with BioPorter or BioPorter plus anti-syndapin preimmune. By contrast, the almost unchanged VSVG-GFP fluorescence intensity in the Golgi area demonstrates the prominent inhibition of TGN exit upon introduction of anti-syndapin antibodies (Fig. 9E). Similar to the effects observed upon overexpression of dynamin IIPRD and of the syndapin II SH3 domain, VSVG-GFP largely remained arrested in the Golgi in cells in which syndapin II functions were disturbed by anti-syndapin antibodies.

). Our observations are in line with the previously reported extensive characterization of the assay, which for example showed the absence of GM130, a resident Golgi protein, from the obtained vesicle fractions (Westermann et al., 2000).
|
Taken together, our examinations show that: (1) syndapin II forms functional complexes with the variants of the GTPase dynamin II in vitro and in vivo; (2) such complexes are capable and necessary to promote budding from TGN membranes; and (3) any interference with the assembly of syndapin-dynamin complexes consistently inhibits vesicle formation, as demonstarted by the inhibitory effects caused by an excess of the syndapin SH3 domain or of a dynamin II lacking the syndapin-binding interface, as well as by the block of vesicle formation caused by applying anti-syndapin antibodies.

; McNiven et al., 2000; Sever et al., 2000). An experimental route to clarify this and to gain knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of Golgi vesicle formation is to examine Golgi trafficking pathways for the functional involvement of dynamins and accessory proteins, which seem to work in close conjunction with dynamin in the better understood process of endocytic vesicle formation. Here, we show that syndapin II interacts with dynamin II, as demonstrated by co-precipitation experiments, by coimmunoprecipitations of the endogenous proteins from HepG2 cell extracts using either syndapin II- or dynamin II-specific antibodies and by in vivo reconstitutions. The latter analyses exclude the theoretical possibility of post-homogenization artifacts. The association of syndapin II and dynamin II depends on the SH3 domain of syndapin II and the PRD of dynamin II and is direct, as revealed by our in vitro binding studies. These data are strongly supported by the observations that a syndapin II with a mutated SH3 domain failed to recruit dynamin II in vivo and that the antibody C12, which interacts with the PRD of dynamin II, failed to co-immunopreciptate syndapin II.
Our further analyses strongly suggest that complexes of syndapin II with dynamin II are involved in vesicle formation from the Golgi complex. Syndapin II was localized to Golgi membranes in both biochemical analyses, as well as in immunofluorescence studies together with syntaxin 6. Also, the co-localization of epitope-tagged syndapin II-l with dynamin IIaa-GFP, which was demonstrated to accumulate at the Golgi complex (Cao et al., 1998), supports the Golgi localization of syndapin II. Consistently, the syndapin II localization was affected by BFA treatment. We therefore conclude that the perinuclear localization of syndapin II indeed represents the Golgi complex and, furthermore, that association of syndapin II with the Golgi depends on a functional Golgi complex.
Dynamin II was described as associating with both the plasma membrane and the Golgi complex and it was shown to promote the formation of Golgi-derived transport vesicles in in vitro assays (Jones et al., 1998; J. Dong, PhD thesis). Also, in vivo studies suggest that dynamin II is somehow involved in vesicle formation from the Golgi (Cao et al., 2000; Yang et al., 2001). Our studies clearly suggest that the role of dynamin II in vesicle formation at the Golgi relies on complex formation with syndapin II. A function for syndapin II in vesicle formation is in line with the observed syndapin II accumulation at Golgi membranes upon inhibition of vesicle formation by a 20°C block. In vitro reconstitutions of vesicle formation from Golgi membranes allowed us to prove the importance of syndapin II and dynamin II, and to reveal mechanistical details of the process. Vesicle formation was inhibited by anti-syndapin II antibodies added to the HepG2 cell extracts required for supporting the vesicle formation process. The pool of dynamin II not in complex with syndapin II, and thus not affected by anti-syndapin antibodies, was obviously not able to support vesicle formation. Similar results were obtained in vivo: introduction of anti-syndapin antibodies into living cells strongly impaired the TGN exit of VSVG-GFP, suggesting that syndapins are crucial components of Golgi vesicle formation. This conclusion is reminiscent of the importance of syndapins in the dynamin-dependent formation of endocytic vesicles (Braun et al., 2005).
Our analyses also clearly demonstrate that, in particular, the interaction of syndapin II and dynamin II is of importance. Addition of the dynamin-binding syndapin II SH3 domain had a strong inhibitory and dose-dependent effect in the in vitro reconstitutions of vesicle formation. Consistently, overexpression of the syndapin II SH3 domain caused a strong arrest of vesicle formation from the TGN in vivo. These data are in line with the SH3 domain of syndapin II acting as a dominant-negative tool in dynamin-dependent vesicle formation from the plasma membrane (Qualmann and Kelly, 2000). Also consistent with the model that interactions of the dynamin PRD with syndapins are important for vesicle formation in Golgi-to-PM transport are the findings that: (1) an excess PRD of dynamin II inhibits vesicle formation in vitro (Dong et al., 2000b); and (2) overexpression of dynamin IIPRD, i.e. of a dynamin lacking the syndapin-binding interface, had a significant negative impact on Golgi vesicle formation in vivo, as shown by a failure of VSVG-GFP to traffic from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. A recently published study (Bonazzi et al., 2005) failed to find any inhibition of Golgi-to-PM transport of VSVG-GFP using a different dynamin-derived tool, dynamin II K44A, applying a different technique of analysis and only covering early time points. The apparent contradiction may thus merely reflect a lack of comparability. Other studies are very well in line with the kinetics of VSVG-GFP trafficking we observed (Presley et al., 1997; Cao et al., 2005), as well as with our observation that dynamin IIPRD causes a disruption of Golgi-to-PM transport (Cao et al., 2005). Cao et al. (Cao et al., 2005) suggested that the inhibition might be a result of the binding of cortactin to the PRD of dynamin II. It is known that several so-called accessory SH3-domain-containing proteins bind to different molecular interfaces within the extended PRD of dynamins (Grabs et al., 1997). The proline-rich sequence recognized by the syndapin SH3 domain seems to be very different from that bound by the cortactin SH3 domain (our unpublished results). This opens the exciting possibility that – very similar to the endocytic process – several of these factors bind simultaneously to dynamins. In addition, our fractionation and co-immunoprecipitation analyses clearly show that complexes of syndapin II with dynamin II represent a sub-pool of the dynamin present in the cell. Thus, a sequential and independent complex formation of cortactin and syndapin with dynamin II is also plausible and it will therefore be exciting to unravel the detailed molecular mechanisms that underlie the orchestrated action of the different dynamin-binding proteins in vesicle formation processes.
Our current study conclusively demonstrates that syndapin II, as well as syndapin-dynamin complex formation, are important for vesicle formation from the Golgi in vivo. Importantly, our in vitro reconstitutions also strongly suggest that complexes containing syndapin II and dynamin II are not only crucial but are also sufficient for vesicle formation from Golgi membranes and may thus represent a minimal machinery supporting vesicle formation.
The involvement of complexes of syndapin II with dynamin II in Golgi vesicle formation appears reminiscent of mechanisms of endocytic vesicle formation. Syndapin I was demonstrated to associate strongly with dynamin I both in vitro and in vivo, and disrupting syndapin interactions through an excess of the dynamin-binding SH3 domain inhibited vesicle formation both in vivo (Qualmann and Kelly, 2000) and in in vitro reconstitution experiments (Simpson et al., 1999). Consistently, impairing syndapin functions by the introduction of anti-syndapin antibodies disturbed the receptor-mediated endocytosis of transferrin (Braun et al., 2005). Since syndapins control the activity of the Arp2/3 actin polymerization machinery (Qualmann et al., 1999; Qualmann and Kelly, 2000), and since such cytoskeletal interactions appear to be of importance for endocytosis (Kessels and Qualmann, 2002), syndapins might act as molecular links between the cortical actin cytoskeleton and the endocytic machinery (Kessels and Qualmann, 2004) and might help to integrate cytoskeletal functions into the vesicle formation process (Qualmann et al., 2000; Kessels and Qualmann, 2002). It seems possible that syndapins might also link cytoskeletal functions to vesicle formation originating from the Golgi. Similar to the plasma membrane, Golgi membranes are also associated with a specialized cytoskeleton comprising actin and spectrin (reviewed by Beck and Nelson, 1998; De Matteis and Morrow, 2000; Stamnes, 2002) that seems to support membrane topology and organelle organization (di Campli et al., 1999; Valderrama et al., 1998). By analogy to the cortical cytoskeleton (Qualmann and Kessels, 2002), Golgi-associated cytoskeletal structures appear to be involved in supporting membrane trafficking processes (Fucini et al., 2002; Müsch et al., 2001; Valderrama et al., 2001; Cao et al., 2005).
In summary, our biochemical, immunocytochemical and cell biological examinations provide conclusive evidence for an association of syndapin II with dynamin II and with the TGN, and for a complex of syndapin II and dynamin II being an essential component of the budding machinery at Golgi membranes. Consistently, any interference with the interaction between syndapin II and dynamin II disrupts vesicle formation in vitro and in vivo. Considering the fact that syndapins and dynamins also have a role in endocytosis and that the molecular details resemble those revealed for syndapin-dynamin function in Golgi vesicle formation in this study, it seems likely that the similarity of the basic mechanisms of vesicle budding at the plasma membrane and at the Golgi complex extends to the roles of the so-called accessory dynamin-binding proteins.

). Antibody sc-6401, which is specific for the dynamin II N-terminus, was from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. The syndapin II-specific antibodies 3685 (rabbit), 2521 (rabbit) and P339 (guinea-pig), as well as rabbit anti-GST antibodies, were described previously (Qualmann and Kelly, 2000; Qualmann et al., 1999). Anti-syntaxin 6 antibodies were from Transduction Laboratories; monoclonal anti-Flag (M2) and anti-GFP antibodies (B34) were from Sigma and Babco, respectively. Serum 3685 was depleted for syndapin II-specific antibodies by double affinity purification using a fusion protein of maltose-binding protein (MBP) and syndapin II (aa 305-388) bound to nitrocellulose, and subsequently using a GST-syndapin II (aa 305-388) fusion protein bound to ACTIGEL (Sterogene Bioseparations).

Expression and purification of S-peptide-tagged dynamin II pleckstrin-homology domain (S-Dyn II PH domain) and PRD (S-Dyn II PRD) in Escherichia coli were described previously (Dong et al., 2000a). Dynamin IIaa-GFP and dynamin IIab-GFP plasmids were obtained from M. McNiven (Mayo Clinic and Foundation, Rochester, MN). Dynamin IIbb was generated by PCR and subcloned into pEGFP-N1. To generate dynamin IIaaPRD-GFP (aa 1-746), the cDNA of rat dynamin IIaa was cut at an internal ScaI site and fused to an appropriate PCR fragment. Dynamin IIaaPRD was subcloned into the HindIII and EcoRI sites of pcDNA3.1/Myc-His (Invitrogen) to generate dynamin IIaaPRD-Myc. Plasmids encoding Xpress-tagged syndapin II-l, Xpress-tagged syndapin II SH3 domain, mitochondria-targeted full-length syndapin II-l and syndapin II-l P480L were described previously (Qualmann and Kelly, 2000; Kessels and Qualmann, 2002). Flag-tagged syndapin II-l was generated by subcloning into pCMV-Tag2B (Stratagene). GST fusion proteins of syndapin II and of its SH3 domain, as well as MBP fusion proteins of syndapins and fragments thereof, were expressed in E. coli and purified as described (Qualmann and Kelly, 2000).
Co-precipitation assays
HEK293 cells were transfected with different GFP-tagged constructs using LipofectAMINE PLUS reagent (Invitrogen), harvested and lysed in IP buffer (10 mM HEPES, 1 mM EGTA, 0.1 mM MgCl2, 100 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, pH 7.4). High-speed supernatants prepared from the lysates were incubated with immobilized GST-syndapin II SH3 domain or GST alone at 4°C for 16 hours. Precipitated protein complexes were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted with anti-GFP antibodies.
For affinity purifications with S-Dyn II PRD or S-Dyn II PH domain, 10 µg protein were immobilized to S-protein agarose and incubated with HepG2 and HEK293 cell lysates, respectively, containing 1-2 mg protein in buffer B [20 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% Triton X-100, supplemented with protease inhibitor mixture (PI; Roche)] at 4°C for 2 hours. After washing with buffer B, bound proteins were extracted with SDS sample buffer and analyzed by immunoblotting with anti-syndapin II antibodies.
Glycerol gradient centrifugation of HepG2 cytosolic proteins
HepG2 cells were collected and disrupted in 100 mM NaCl, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 2 mM MgCl2, supplemented with PI mixture using a ball-bearing homogenizer. After centrifugation for 10 minutes at 1000 g, the post-nuclear supernatant was centrifuged for 30 minutes at 100,000 g. Cytosolic proteins were concentrated fivefold in a dialysis bag coated with dry Sephadex G200 and dialyzed against 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 50 mM potassium acetate. Protein samples (0.5 ml) were run on a 10-30% glycerol gradient for 17 hours at 190,000 g (43,000 rpm Beckman) using a SW60 rotor. Gradients were divided into 11 fractions. Proteins within the individual fractions were analyzed by immunoblotting.
In vitro reconstitution of the interaction between syndapin SH3 domain and dynamin PRD
For reconstitution of interactions between the syndapin SH3 domain and the dynamin II PRD domain, 5 µg S-Dyn II PRD was bound to 50 µl S-protein agarose. 5 µg S-Dyn II PH domain was used as control. After washing, 10 µg GST-syndapin II SH3 domain was added in buffer A (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 50 mM NaCl, 0.1% Triton X-100, PI) and incubated for 1 hour at 4°C. After washing with buffer A, bound proteins were extracted with SDS sample buffer and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining.
Immunoprecipitations
Lysates of HepG2 cells grown on dishes coated with S-collagen or of transfected HEK293 cells were incubated in buffer C (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, PI) for 30 minutes on ice. After centrifugation for 10 minutes at 100,000 g, the supernatant (500 µl) was incubated with 3 µg antibody at 4°C for 1-2 hours. 50 µl of protein A-agarose and protein G-agarose was added to rabbit or mouse IgGs and goat IgGs, respectively. After a further 2 hours of incubation and extensive washing with 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, bound proteins were eluted with SDS sample buffer and immunoblotted using anti-syndapin II and anti-dynamin II antibodies.
The HepG2 cell cytosol fraction and glycerol gradient fraction 6 depleted for syndapin II used in in vitro budding assays were obtained by immunoprecipitations with the anti-syndapin II antibody 3685, as described above.
Immunofluorescence microscopy
COS-7 cells were maintained, transfected and processed for immunofluorescence analyses as described previously (Kessels et al., 2001; Kessels and Qualmann, 2002) or incubated for 15 minutes at 37°C with a final concentration of 1 µg brefeldin A (BFA)/ml medium prior to fixation. Incubations with primary antibodies [anti-syndapin II guinea-pig antibody P339, anti-syndapin rabbit antibody 2521 (Qualmann and Kelly, 2000), anti-syntaxin 6 monoclonal antibody, anti-Xpress monoclonal antibody (Invitrogen), anti-Myc monoclonal antibody 9E10 (Babco) and anti-Flag monoclonal antibody M2 (Sigma)], secondary antibodies [Alexa Fluor 488-stained goat anti-guinea-pig antibody (Molecular Probes), Texas Red-conjugated donkey anti-guinea-pig antibody (Dianova), Alexa Fluor 350-stained goat anti-mouse (Molecular Probes), Alexa Fluor 350-stained goat anti-rabbit (Molecular Probes) and Alexa Fluor 568-stained goat anti-mouse antibody (Molecular Probes)] and with MitoTracker® Red CMXRos (Molecular Probes) were performed as described previously (Kessels et al., 2001; Kessels and Qualmann, 2002; Qualmann et al., 2004). The incubations were viewed using a DMR fluorescence microscope (Leica) or an Zeiss Axioplan 2 and 3 microscope, respectively (Zeiss). Images were recorded digitally and processed using Adobe Photoshop software.
Golgi preparation and in vitro formation of transport vesicles
HepG2 cells were metabolically labeled with 0.2 mCi [35S]methionine (Amersham) for 10 minutes at 37°C. After addition of 1 volume DMEM with 0.2 mM methionine, cells were incubated for 1 hour at 20°C to accumulate newly synthesized, labeled proteins in the Golgi. Golgi-enriched membranes were prepared as described and characterized previously (Westermann et al., 1996). They showed, in comparison with total cell membranes, a 150-fold increase in specific activity of galactosyltransferase, a Golgi marker enzyme, determined according to Bretz and Staubli (Bretz and Staubli, 1977). The absence of contaminating ER and plasma membrane was checked, as described previously (Westermann et al., 1996). The absence of endosomes was deduced from a lack of EEA1 immunoblotting signal (anti-EEA1 antibody; Transduction Laboratories). The formation of constitutive transport vesicles was studied in accordance with Tooze and Huttner (Tooze and Huttner, 1992) using Golgi-enriched membranes and cytosolic proteins, as described previously (Dong et al., 2000b). In brief, vesicle formation depends on the addition of cytosol, ATP and GTP. Assays contained Golgi preparations (2 µg protein) that were resuspended in 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA and 0.25 M sucrose. In some experiments, GST fusion proteins were added at this step and pre-incubated with the Golgi preparations for 15 minutes at 18°C. Thereafter, cytosol (40 µg protein), an ATP-regenerating system and final concentrations of 0.1 mM ATP, 0.1 mM GTP were added. Antisera were dialyzed before addition. Gradient fractions containing the complex of dynamin II with syndapin II were tested in the absence of other cytosolic proteins added. Assays were incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. Golgi membranes were pelleted (15 minutes at 14,000 g) and thereafter newly formed vesicles were pelleted (20 minutes at 100,000 g). Vesicle preparations have been characterized by isopycnic gradient centrifugation and electron microscopy, as described previously (Westermann et al., 2000). Clathrin, 
-adaptin, rab 6, rab 8 and transferrin receptor were detected as components of constitutive transport vesicles. The absence of GM130 (Westermann et al., 2000), a resident Golgi protein, from vesicle fractions proved that artificial Golgi fragmentation does not occur under our assay conditions.
Golgi membranes and vesicles were solubilized in 1% Triton X-100 and radioactivity was determined. By comparing vesicle labeling with total labeling, the ratios of packaging of labeled proteins into vesicles were calculated. After subtracting background values observed in assays incubated at 0°C, packaging ratios in standard assays were 25-30%. To compare inhibitory effects, packaging ratios under standard conditions were set to 100. The values of at least three independent experiments were used to calculate mean values and standard deviations.
VSVG-GFP trafficking assay
COS-7 cells transfected with VSVG-GFP and VSVG-GFP plus different dynamin and syndapin constructs, respectively, were shifted to 40°C for accumulation of VSVG-GFP in the ER (Presley et al., 1997). BioPorter incubations for antibody introductions were performed as described previously (Kessels and Qualmann, 2002; Braun et al., 2005) directly before the VSVG-GFP transport assay. The VSVG transport assay was essentially performed as described by Cao et al. (Cao et al., 2000). In brief, cells were first incubated with 100 µg/ml cycloheximide for 30 minutes at 40°C. In BioPorter experiments, this time period served as recovery time in serum-containing medium. Thereafter, the VSVG-GFP was released from the ER by shifting the cells to 32°C and cells were subsequently fixed and processed for immunofluorescence microscopy after 0, 15, 45 and 90 minutes. The quantitative evaluation of the transport events towards the plasma membrane was essentially performed as described by Cao et al. (Cao et al., 2000). Images were taken with a CCD camera 2.1.1. from Diagnostic instruments in systematic searches across the coverslips using a 63x Plan Apochromat objective (Zeiss) and constant data acquisition settings. Images were encoded by numbers and transferred to NIH Image software. A perinuclear region of interest with a diameter of 50 pixels (area, 1976 pixels) was positioned and measured by an unbiased experimenter. An average background signal measured on empty areas of the coverslips was subtracted. The samples were then decoded and the measured mean intensity values (given as 255 different gray values) of cells from several independent coverslips were averaged and depicted in an inverted fashion (255-x) so that 255 now represents white and 0 black. The changes of the VSVG-GFP signal in the region of interest over time were depicted as percentage of the values that correspond to the start of the Golgi-to-plasma-membrane chase (i.e. of the time point 15 minutes at 32°C).
