Gene Description

Synaptotagmin-1 (p65) is a single-pass integral membrane protein of synaptic vesicles and neuroendocrine dense-core vesicles, with a short intravesicular N-terminus, one transmembrane helix, a juxtamembrane linker and two cytoplasmic C2 domains (C2A, C2B). The C2 domains bind Ca2+ (about five ions in total) and, in a Ca2+-dependent manner, insert into membranes containing anionic phospholipids (phosphatidylserine, PIP2) and bind the neuronal t-SNAREs and assembled SNARE complex. Through these interactions Syt1 tethers vesicles to the presynaptic plasma membrane, clamps premature fusion, and on Ca2+ influx triggers SNARE-mediated fusion, acting as the principal Ca2+ sensor for fast synchronous neurotransmitter release; it also contributes to dense-core vesicle exocytosis in neuroendocrine cells. Secondary roles include binding the AP-2 and stonin-2 endocytic adaptors for its own retrieval during synaptic vesicle endocytosis, Ca2+-promoted self-association, and serving as a host receptor for botulinum neurotoxins B and G.

IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Synaptotagmin-family IBA for SNARE binding; Syt1 binds t-SNAREs (syntaxin-1/SNAP-25) and assembled SNARE complexes.
Reason: Rat Syt1 binds membrane-embedded t-SNARE heterodimers weakly without Ca2+ and strongly with Ca2+, and SNARE binding by the C2B domain is required for fusion triggering. The PAINT node placement on the synaptotagmin family is consistent with this; Syt1 is a well-characterised descendant with its own experimental support.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:20688915
In contrast, rat SYT1, fly SYT1, and fly SYT4 all exhibited weak t-SNARE binding activity in the absence of Ca2+ and much stronger binding in the presence of Ca2+
PMID:27083046
we show that the C2B domain interacts simultaneously with acidic membranes and SNARE complexes via the top Ca(2+)-binding loops, the side polybasic patch, and the bottom face in response to Ca(2+)

Summary: Cracked PC12 assays: inhibition of secretion by syt C2 domains correlated with t-SNARE (syntaxin-SNAP-25) binding.
Reason: Direct biochemical evidence (full text read) that Syt1 C2 domains bind syntaxin-SNAP-25 t-SNARE heterodimers; SNARE binding is a core effector interaction of the Ca2+ sensor.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:12860971

Summary: Crystal structures of the C2B domain show two or three bound Ca2+ ions coordinated by conserved aspartates.
Reason: Syt1 binds Ca2+ (three ions per subunit across C2A and C2B) and the binding is the trigger for its function: Ca2+ binding converts the C2 domains into membrane- and SNARE-binding effectors.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: In vitro lipid-mixing and single-vesicle assays show Syt1 senses Ca2+ to enhance docking/fusion when PS is asymmetric.
Reason: Syt1 does receive a Ca2+ stimulus and convert it into a molecular signal; the process term restates the calcium ion sensor activity at the BP level. Kept as non-core because the core process is calcium-dependent activation of synaptic vesicle fusion.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:22229667
Thus for Syt1 to function as a Ca2+ sensor, a charge asymmetry appears to be important and this may play a role in steering Syt1 to productively trans bind to the plasma membrane

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Injected recombinant C2A fragments inhibit secretion via a polylysine motif.
Reason: The IMP is a dominant-negative fragment experiment, which by itself would not show a negative role. However, Syt1 genuinely clamps spontaneous and Ca2+-independent fusion (deletion massively increases spontaneous release), so a negative regulatory contribution to neurotransmitter secretion holds; non-core relative to its activator role.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:9570782
Our analyses reveal that a polylysine motif at residues 189-192 confers an inhibitory effect on secretion by recombinant synaptotagmin C2A fragments
PMID:19412166
Paradoxically, Syt1 deletions (as opposed to point mutations) massively increased spontaneous release

Calcium activated phospholipid scrambling is defined as movement of phospholipids from one leaflet of the plasma membrane to the other. 21610074 shows lateral demixing of PS within bilayers by Syt1 C2 domains, and 22229667 shows that an asymmetric distribution of PS between the two fusing membranes is required for Ca2+ stimulation; neither shows transbilayer movement, and Syt1 has no scramblase domain. The term is a mis-mapping of the finding.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Mutating the N-glycosylation site of Syt1 redirects it from vesicles to the plasma membrane.
Reason: Abstract-only. The finding is that Syt1 must itself be glycosylated for vesicular targeting; glycosylation-dependent protein binding means binding to a partner upon the partner being glycosylated. No glycan-dependent binding partner of Syt1 is identified in the abstract.

Summary: Syt1 stimulates Munc18-1/Munc13-1-dependent liposome fusion in a Ca2+-binding-dependent manner.

Supporting Evidence:
PMID:33468652
synaptotagmin-1 strongly stimulates fusion under these conditions. Such stimulation depends on Ca2+ binding to the two C2 domains of synaptotagmin-1

Core Functions

Ca2+ sensor for fast synchronous neurotransmitter release: Ca2+ binding to the C2A/C2B domains triggers SNARE-mediated fusion of docked synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:12526776
    We now show that in synaptotagmin 1 knockout mice, the fast component of both Ca(2+)- and Sr(2+)-induced release is selectively impaired
  • PMID:18508778
    Syts I-III, V-VII, IX, and X stimulated fusion in response to Ca2+
  • PMID:33468652
    synaptotagmin-1 strongly stimulates fusion under these conditions. Such stimulation depends on Ca2+ binding to the two C2 domains of synaptotagmin-1

Ca2+-dependent binding of anionic phospholipids (phosphatidylserine and PIP2) of the target membrane by the C2 domains, coupling Ca2+ binding to membrane penetration.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:8253763
    Our results show that this C2 domain by itself binds Ca2+ and phospholipids with high affinity (half-maximal binding at 4-6 microM free Ca2+) and exhibits strong positive cooperativity
  • PMID:20688915
    Rat SYT4 failed to bind PS-harboring liposomes; in contrast, fly SYT4, rat SYT1, and fly SYT1 all bound to PS-harboring vesicles in a Ca2+-dependent manner
  • PMID:22447935
    We found that PIP(2) bound to the well conserved polybasic patch of the C2B domain with an apparent dissociation constant of ∼20 μM

Binding of the neuronal t-SNAREs and assembled SNARE complex (primary C2B interface), coupling Ca2+ sensing to SNARE-driven fusion and clamping fusion before Ca2+ entry.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:20688915
    In contrast, rat SYT1, fly SYT1, and fly SYT4 all exhibited weak t-SNARE binding activity in the absence of Ca2+ and much stronger binding in the presence of Ca2+
  • PMID:26280336
    The structures reveal several interfaces, including a large, specific, Ca(2+)-independent and conserved interface
  • PMID:27083046
    we show that the C2B domain interacts simultaneously with acidic membranes and SNARE complexes via the top Ca(2+)-binding loops, the side polybasic patch, and the bottom face in response to Ca(2+)

Tethering/docking of vesicles to the target membrane by bridging the vesicle and acidic-lipid/SNARE-containing plasma membrane, a prerequisite for Munc18-1-driven SNAREpin assembly.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:22810233

Ca2+ sensor for dense-core vesicle exocytosis in neuroendocrine cells, acting redundantly with Syt9.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:17686463
    We conclude that Syt I and Syt IX function redundantly in Ca(2+)-sensing and fusion pore dilation on LDCVs in PC12 cells
  • PMID:11751925
    Antibodies directed against the C2A domain of either Syt IX or Syt I inhibited Ca(2+)-dependent NE release in permeable PC12 cells indicating that both Syt proteins function in dense-core vesicle exocytosis

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should the RGD calcium activated phospholipid scrambling (GO:0061588) rows be retired, given that the cited papers report lateral PS demixing and dependence on inter-membrane PS asymmetry rather than transbilayer movement?

Q: What is the evidence behind the human SYT1 low-density lipoprotein particle receptor binding annotation propagated to rat Syt1?

Q: Is the Ca2+-triggered oligomerisation / juxtamembrane-linker phase separation of Syt1 required for its Ca2+-sensor function in vivo, or a regulatory modulation of it?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Test whether linker-LLPS-deficient Syt1 mutants that preserve membrane and SNARE binding rescue synchronous release and spontaneous-release clamping in Syt1-knockout neurons.
