Parkinson's disease gene, Synaptojanin1, dysregulates the surface maintenance of the dopamine transporter.


ABSTRACT: Missense mutations of PARK20/SYNJ1 (synaptojanin1/Synj1) were found in complex forms of familial Parkinsonism. However, the Synj1-regulated molecular and cellular changes associated with dopaminergic dysfunction remain unknown. We now report a fast depletion of evoked dopamine and impaired maintenance of the axonal dopamine transporter (DAT) in the Synj1 haploinsufficient (Synj1+/-) neurons. While Synj1 has been traditionally known to facilitate the endocytosis of synaptic vesicles, we provide in vitro and in vivo evidence demonstrating that Synj1 haploinsufficiency results in an increase of total DAT but a reduction of the surface DAT. Synj1+/- neurons exhibit maladaptive DAT trafficking, which could contribute to the altered DA release. We showed that the loss of surface DAT is associated with the impaired 5'-phosphatase activity and the hyperactive PI(4,5)P2-PKCβ pathway downstream of Synj1 deficiency. Thus, our findings provided important mechanistic insight for Synj1-regulated DAT trafficking integral to dysfunctional DA signaling, which might be relevant to early Parkinsonism.
