Membrane dynamics within the chick ciliary neuronal growth cone
were investigated by using the membrane-impermeant dye FM1-43. A
depolarization-evoked endocytosis was observed that shared many properties with the synaptic vesicle recycling previously described at
the presynaptic terminal. In addition, in the absence of depolarization a basal level of constitutive endocytotic activity was observed at
~30% of the rate of evoked endocytosis. This constitutive
endocytosis accounted for large amounts of membrane retrieval: the
equivalent of the entire growth cone surface area could be internalized
within a 30 min period. Endosomes generated via constitutive and evoked processes were highly mobile and could move considerable distances both
within the growth cone and out to the neurite. In addition to their
different requirements for formation, evoked and constitutive endosomes
displayed a significant difference in release properties. After a
subsequent depolarization of labeled growth cones, evoked endosomes
were released although constitutive endosomes were not released.
Furthermore, treatment with latrotoxin released evoked endosomes, but
not constitutive endosomes. Although the properties of evoked endosomes
are highly reminiscent of synaptic vesicles, constitutive endosomes
appear to be a separate pool resulting from a distinct and highly
active process within the neuronal growth cone.
