PG - 10164-9 AB - Interaction of syntaxin 1 with the alpha(1D) subunit of the voltage-gated L type Ca(2+) channel was investigated in the pancreatic beta cell. Coexpression of the enhanced green fluorescent protein-linked alpha(1D) subunit with the enhanced blue fluorescent protein-linked syntaxin 1 and Western blot analysis together with subcellular fractionation demonstrated that the alpha(1D) subunit and syntaxin 1 were colocalized in the plasma membrane. Furthermore, the alpha(1D) subunit was coimmunoprecipitated efficiently by a polyclonal antibody against syntaxin 1. Syntaxin 1 also played a central role in the modulation of L type Ca(2+) channel activity because there was a faster Ca(2+) current run-down in cells incubated with antisyntaxin 1 compared with controls. In parallel, antisyntaxin 1 markedly reduced insulin release in both intact and permeabilized cells, subsequent to depolarization with K(+) or exposure to high Ca(2+). Exchanging Ca(2+) for Ba(2+) abolished the effect of antisyntaxin 1 on both Ca(2+) channel activity and insulin exocytosis. Moreover, antisyntaxin 1 had no significant effects on Ca(2+)-independent insulin release trigged by hypertonic stimulation. This suggests that there is a structure-function relationship between the alpha(1D) subunit of the L type Ca(2+) channel and the exocytotic machinery in the pancreatic beta cell.
