Melanotropic cells release predocked, large, dense-cored vesicles
containing -melanocyte stimulating hormone in response to calcium
entry through voltage-gated calcium channels. Our first objective was
to study the relationship between exocytosis, rapid endocytosis, and
calcium entry evoked by short step depolarizations in the order of
duration of single action potentials (APs). Exocytosis and rapid
endocytosis were monitored by capacitance measurements. We show that
short step depolarizations (40 msec) evoke the fast release of only
~3% of the predocked release-ready vesicle pool. Second, we asked
what the distance is between voltage-gated calcium channels and
predocked vesicles in these cells by modulating the intracellular
buffer capacity. Exocytosis and rapid endocytosis were differentially
affected by low concentrations of the calcium chelator EGTA. EGTA
slightly attenuated exocytosis at 100 µM relative to 50 µM, but exocytosis was strongly depressed at 400 µM, showing that calcium ions have to travel a large
distance to stimulate exocytosis. Nevertheless, the efficacy of calcium
ions to stimulate exocytosis was constant for pulse durations between 2 and 40 msec, indicating that in melanotropes, exocytosis is related
linearly to the amount and duration of calcium entry during a single
AP. Rapid endocytosis was already strongly depressed at 100 µM EGTA, which shows that the process of endocytosis
itself is calcium dependent in melanotropic cells. Furthermore, rapid
endocytosis proceeded with a time constant of ~116 msec at 33°C,
which is three times faster than at room temperature. There was a
strong correlation between the amplitude of endocytosis and the
amplitude of exocytosis immediately preceding endocytosis. Both this
correlation and the fast time constant of endocytosis suggest that the
exocytotic vesicle is retrieved rapidly.
