Since the fusion pore of the secretory vesicle is resealed before complete dilation during 'kiss-and-run' exocytosis, their cargoes are not completely released. Although the transient fusion pore is kept open for several seconds, the precise mechanisms that control fusion pore maintenance, and their physiological significance, are not well understood. Using dual-colour TIRF (total internal reflection fluorescence) microscopy in neuroendocrine PC12 cells, we show that myosin II regulates the…

A New Role for Myosin II in Vesicle Fission

The results indicate that loss of the ATPase activity of myosin II drastically reduces the efficiency of membrane scission by making vesicles closure incomplete and suggest that NM-2 might be especially relevant in vesicle fission during compound endocytosis.

Fusion pore regulation by Epac2/cAMP controls cargo release during insulin exocytosis

It is concluded that Epac2/cAMP controls fusion pore expansion and thus the balance of hormone and transmitter release during insulin granule exocytosis during type-2 diabetes and neurodegenerative disease.

Fusion pore regulation by cAMP/Epac2 controls cargo release during insulin exocytosis

It is concluded that Epac2/cAMP controls fusion pore expansion and thus the balance of hormone and transmitter release during insulin granule exocytosis during diabetes and neurodegenerative disease.

Multiple Mechanisms Driving F-actin-Dependent Transport of Organelles to and From Secretory Sites in Bovine Chromaffin Cells

Upon cell stimulation F-actin structures use diverse mechanisms to transport organelles to and from the membrane during the exo-endocytotic cycle taking place in specific areas of cell periphery.

Activity-driven relaxation of the cortical actomyosin II network synchronizes Munc18-1-dependent neurosecretory vesicle docking

It is revealed that the cortical actin network acts as a ‘casting net’ that undergoes activity-dependent relaxation, thereby driving tethered SVs towards the plasma membrane where they undergo Munc18-1-dependent docking.

The Cortical Acto-Myosin Network: From Diffusion Barrier to Functional Gateway in the Transport of Neurosecretory Vesicles to the Plasma Membrane

The functions of the cortical actin network, myosins, and their effectors in controlling the processes that lead to tethering, directed transport, docking, and fusion of exocytotic vesicles in regulatedExocytosis are discussed.

The role of F-actin in the transport and secretion of chromaffin granules: an historic perspective

More work is now needed on adrenomedullary cells kept in a more “native” configuration to fully understand the role of F-actin in regulating chromaffin granule transport and secretion under physiological conditions.

Myosin II Contributes to Fusion Pore Expansion during Exocytosis*

It is demonstrated that the fusion pore is of critical importance to control the release of catecholamines during single vesicle secretion in chromaffin cells and it is proved that myosin II acts as a molecular motor on the fuse pore expansion by hindering its dilation when it lacks the phosphorylation sites.

Mechanisms of Dense Core Vesicle Recapture following “Kiss and Run” (“Cavicapture”) Exocytosis in Insulin-secreting Cells*

It is concluded that re-uptake of vesicles after peptide release by cavicapture corresponds to a novel form of endocytosis in which dynamin-1 stabilizes and eventually closes the fusion pore, with no requirement for “classical” endocyTosis for retreat from the plasma membrane.

Synaptotagmin-1 utilizes membrane bending and SNARE binding to drive fusion pore expansion.

The results indicate that Syt-1 uses both Ca(2+)-dependent membrane insertion and SNARE binding to drive fusion pore expansion, which is consistent with regulated vesicle exocytosis.

Myosin Va Transports Dense Core Secretory Vesicles in Pancreatic MIN6 β-Cells

It is concluded that MyoVa-driven movements of vesicles along the cortical actin network are essential for the terminal stages of regulated exocytosis in -cells.

Subnanometer Fusion Pores in Spontaneous Exocytosis of Peptidergic Vesicles

Analysis of the permeation of FM 4-64 dye and HEPES molecules through spontaneously forming fusion pores in lactotroph vesicles expressing synaptopHluorin, a pH-dependent fluorescent fusion marker, indicates an open fusion pore diameter much smaller than the neuropeptides.

Myosin Va Mediates Docking of Secretory Granules at the Plasma Membrane

It is proposed that, despite its known motor activity, MyoVa directly mediates stable attachment of SGs at the plasma membrane in secretory granules, leading to reduced secretory responses.

Matrix-Dependent Local Retention of Secretory Vesicle Cargo in Cortical Neurons

The data argue against cargo diffusion after exocytosis as a general principle, and suggest that the vesicle matrix retains secreted signals, probably for focal signaling at the cell surface.

Myosin II Activation and Actin Reorganization Regulate the Mode of Quantal Exocytosis in Mouse Adrenal Chromaffin Cells

An essential role for activity-evoked cytoskeletal rearrangement and the action of myosin II in the regulation of catecholamine and neuropeptide exocytosis is demonstrated and represents an essential element of the sympathetic stress response.
