Small molecules demonstrate the role of dynamin as a bi-directional regulator of the exocytosis fusion pore and vesicle release.
    Molecular psychiatry, 2015, Volume: 20, Issue:7

    Hormones and neurotransmitters are stored in specialised vesicles and released from excitable cells through exocytosis. During vesicle fusion with the plasma membrane, a transient fusion pore is created that enables transmitter release. The protein dynamin is known to regulate fusion pore expansion (FPE). The mechanism is unknown, but requires its oligomerisation-stimulated GTPase activity. We used a palette of small molecule dynamin modulators to reveal bi-directional regulation of FPE by dynamin and vesicle release in chromaffin cells. The dynamin inhibitors Dynole 34-2 and Dyngo 4a and the dynamin activator Ryngo 1-23 reduced or increased catecholamine released from single vesicles, respectively. Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy demonstrated that dynamin stimulation with Ryngo 1-23 reduced the number of neuropeptide Y (NPY) kiss-and-run events, but not full fusion events, and slowed full fusion release kinetics. Amperometric stand-alone foot signals, representing transient kiss-and-run events, were less frequent but were of longer duration, similarly to full amperometric spikes and pre-spike foot signals. These effects are not due to alterations in vesicle size. Ryngo 1-23 action was blocked by inhibitors of actin polymerisation or myosin II. Therefore, we demonstrate using a novel pharmacological approach that dynamin not only controls FPE during exocytosis, but is a bi-directional modulator of the fusion pore that increases or decreases the amount released from a vesicle during exocytosis if it is activated or inhibited, respectively. As such, dynamin has the ability to exquisitely fine-tune transmitter release.

Synthesis of Dynole 34-2, Dynole 2-24 and Dyngo 4a for investigating dynamin GTPase.
    Nature protocols, 2014, Volume: 9, Issue:4

    Dynamin is a large GTPase with roles in membrane fission during clathrin-mediated endocytosis, in actin dynamics and in cytokinesis. Defects in dynamin have been linked to human diseases. The synthesis of a dynamin modulator toolkit comprising two different inhibitor classes is described. The first series comprises Dynole 34-2, Dynole 2-24 and the inactive control Dynole 31-2. The Dynole compounds act on the dynamin G domain, are not GTP competitive and can be synthesized in 2-3 d. Knoevenagel condensation of 1-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (1) with cyanoamides (2 and 3) affords Dynole 31-2 and Dynole 34-2, respectively. Reductive amination of 1 with decylamine gives Dynole 2-24. The second series acts at an allosteric site in the G domain of dynamin and comprises Dyngo 4a and Dyngo Ø (inactive control). Both are synthesized in an overnight reaction via condensation of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic hydrazide with 2,4,5-trihydroxybenzaldehyde to afford Dyngo 4a, or with benzaldehyde to afford Dyngo Ø.
