Presynaptic CaV2.2 (N-type) calcium channels are subject to modulation by interaction with syntaxin 1 and by a syntaxin 1-sensitive G O G-protein pathway. We used biochemical analysis of neuronal tissue lysates and a new quantitative test of colocalization by intensity correlation analysis at the giant calyx-type presynaptic terminal of the chick ciliary ganglion to explore the association of CaV2.2 with syntaxin 1 and GO. CaV2.2 could be localized by immunocytochemistry (antibody Ab571) in puncta on the release site aspect of the presynaptic terminal and close to synaptic vesicle clouds. Syntaxin 1 coimmunoprecipitated with CaV2.2 from chick brain and chick ciliary ganglia and was widely distributed on the presynaptic terminal membrane. A fraction of the total syntaxin 1 colocalized with the CaV2.2 puncta, whereas the bulk colocalized with MUNC18-1. GO, whether in its trimeric or monomeric state, did not coimmunoprecipitate with CaV2.2, MUNC18-1, or syntaxin 1. However, the G-protein exhibited a punctate staining on the calyx membrane with an intensity that varied in synchrony with that for both Ca channels and syntaxin 1 but only weakly with MUNC18-1. Thus, syntaxin 1 appears to be a component of two separate complexes at the presynaptic terminal, a minor one at the transmitter release site with CaV2.2 and GO, as well as in large clusters remote from the release site with MUNC18-1. These syntaxin 1 protein complexes may play distinct roles in presynaptic biology.
Key words: calcium channel; presynaptic; N-type; CaV2.2; 1B subunit; syntaxin; G-protein; GO; transmitter release site; n-sec-1; MUNC18-1; intensity correlation analysis; intensity correlation quotient; colocalization; immunocytochemistry
