Abstract
Classical dynamins are best understood for their ability to generate vesicles by membrane fission. During clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), dynamin is recruited to the membrane through multivalent protein and lipid interactions between its proline-rich domain (PRD) with SRC Homology 3 (SH3) domains in endocytic proteins and its pleckstrin-homology domain (PHD) with membrane lipids. Variable loops (VL) in the PHD bind lipids and partially insert into the membrane thereby anchoring the PHD to the membrane. Recent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal a novel VL4 that interacts with the membrane. Importantly, a missense mutation that reduces VL4 hydrophobicity is linked to an autosomal dominant form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) neuropathy. We analyzed the orientation and function of the VL4 to mechanistically link data from simulations with the CMT neuropathy. Structural modeling of PHDs in the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) cryoEM map of the membrane-bound dynamin polymer confirms VL4 as a membrane-interacting loop. In assays that rely solely on lipid-based membrane recruitment, VL4 mutants with reduced hydrophobicity showed an acute membrane curvature-dependent binding and a catalytic defect in fission. Remarkably, in assays that mimic a physiological multivalent lipid- and protein-based recruitment, VL4 mutants were completely defective in fission across a range of membrane curvatures. Importantly, expression of these mutants in cells inhibited CME, consistent with the autosomal dominant phenotype associated with the CMT neuropathy. Together, our results emphasize the significance of finely tuned lipid and protein interactions for efficient dynamin function.
