Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 1. VAMP2 and VAMP4 are markers of recycling endosome exocytosis in the soma and dendrites of hippocampal neurons (A–C) Images (top) and kymographs (bottom) of neurons (14 DIV) transfected with TfR-SEP (A), VAMP2-SEP (B), or VAMP4-SEP (C). Exocytosis events (sudden appearance of a bright cluster) are marked with green arrowheads. In (A), dim stable spots represent clathrin coated endocytic zones. Scale bar, 2 mm. (legend continued on next page)
Techniques Used: Transfection
Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 2. Downregulation of VAMP4, but not VAMP2, impairs RE exocytosis and recycling to the plasma membrane (A) Frequency of exocytosis events in neurons transfected with TfR-SEP and TeNT-LC E234Q (n = 6) or TeNT-LC (n = 10). (B) Images of neurons co-transfected with VAMP2-SEP and TeNT-LC E234Q or TeNT-LC. VAMP2-SEP is enriched in the axon (cyan arrows) in the first case but not the second case. Scale bar, 10 mm. (C) Immunofluorescence images of endogenous VAMP4 in cells expressing GFP and a combination of shRNA targeted against VAMP4 for four days. In cells expressing GFP and the shRNA (cyan arrows), the labeling is strongly decreased compared to untransfected cells or cells expressing scramble (scr) shRNA. In cells co-expressing TfR, VAMP4-HA, and KD1, the VAMP4 staining is strong. Scale bar, 10 mm. Bottom, quantification of VAMP4 staining in the area delimited by the GFP mask (soma and dendrites). The staining is decreased by 50% in all KD conditions. The number of cells is indicated above the bars for all conditions. Comparison with scr with one-way ANOVA; *p < 0.05 and ***p < 0.001. (D) Frequency of exocytosis events recorded in cells expressing TfR-SEP and shRNAs targeted to VAMP4: scr (33 cells; 3 cells have frequencies of 0.132, 0.157, and 0.119 events.mm2.min1 and are represented above the axis limit), KD1 (23 cells), KD2 (10 cells), KD1+2 (18 cells), cells expressing VAMP4-HA (8 cells), and KD1+VAMP4-HA (12 cells). *p < 0.05 one-way ANOVA. (E) Images of neurons expressing scr or KD1 shRNAs in GFP vectors, labeled with A568-Tf (50 mg/ml) for 5 min and chased with unlabeled transferrin (2 mg/ml) at 37C for the indicated times. Scale bar, 10 mm. (F) Quantification of the Alexa568 fluorescence in the GFP mask from the pulse-chase experiments described in (E). 70 to 88 cells per condition from 4 inde- pendent experiments. Error bars represent SEM; **p < 0.01. (G) Estimation of TfR-SEP surface fraction. Top, cartoons showing the fraction of fluorescent TfR-SEP. At pH 7.4, surface receptors are fluorescent, but not at pH 5.5. Receptors in acidic intracellular organelles are not fluorescent, but become fluorescent with NH4Cl. Bottom left, images of a dendrite bathed successively in solutions at pH 7.4 (images 1, 3, and 5), pH 5.5 (image 2), and pH 7.4 containing NH4Cl (image 4). For image 4, the contrast is 23 lower than in the other images. Bottom right, quantification of the TfR-SEP surface fraction for neurons transfected with scr (n = 27) and KD1 (n = 26). See STAR Methods for calculation. ***p < 0.001.

Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 3. TfR-SEP and VAMP4-SEP exocytosis increase after chemical LTP (A) Images of a neuron transfected with TfR-SEP before and 15 min after induction of cLTP. Cyan crosses show the location of detected exocytosis events. Scale bar, 5 mm. (B) Normalized exocytosis frequency of neurons transfected with TfR-SEP at times relative to cLTP induction (n = 16, control [ctrl]). The light blue area denotes the time of incubation with cLTP inducing medium. The increase in frequency is significant 15 min after induction (Dunnett’s multiple comparison test, p = 0.003). In the presence of APV (100 mM), the frequency does not increase (n = 12). (C) Exocytosis frequencies before and 15 min after LTP induction. Paired t test p = 0.0008 (ctrl) and p = 0.14 (APV). (D) Normalized change in fluorescence intensity of TfR-SEP before and after cLTP induction. The increase is significant after 10 min or more (Dunnett’s multiple comparison). (E) Changes in TfR-SEP fluorescence 20 min after cLTP induction, in ctrl (carmin dots) or with APV (gray dots). Paired t test p = 0.0002 (ctrl) and p = 0.89 (APV). (F–J) Same as (A)–(E) for neurons transfected with VAMP2-SEP (n = 9) and with APV (n = 7). The increase in frequency is significant 10 min or more after induction (p = 0.002). (K–O) Same as (A)–(E) for neurons transfected with VAMP4-SEP (n = 15) and with APV (n = 15). The increase in frequency is significant 15 min or more after induction (p = 0.0082).

Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 6. Effect of post-synaptic VAMP4 KD and TeNT on glutamatergic synaptic transmission (A) Confocal image of an organotypic hippocampal slice culture infected with scr-mScarlet lentivirus at 1 DIV and fixed at 9 DIV. Many pyramidal neurons in CA1 are brightly fluorescent. (B) DIC image of two pyramidal neurons recorded simultaneously with patch pipettes (asterisks). Epifluorescent illumination shows that the neuron on the left is brightly fluorescent (infected) while the one on the right is not (uninfected control). (C) Averages of 30 EPSCs evoked by the same stimulation in pairs of neurons, uninfected and infected with scr-mScarlet (top), shRNA KD1-mScarlet (middle), or shRNA KD2-mScarlet (botttom). Both neurons were held at 70 mV then at +40 mV. Right, plots of peak EPSC amplitude at 70 mV for each pair of neurons. In the scr condition, dots are spread around the diagonal, while in the KD1 and KD2 conditions the amplitudes are systematically higher for infected neurons. (D) Same as (C) for neurons co-electroporated with TeNT-LC and GFP. In the neurons expressing TeNT-LC, the amplitude is sytematically smaller than in control neurons.
