Abstract

The endocytic adaptor protein 2 (AP-2) complex binds dynactin as part of its noncanonical function, which is necessary for dynein-driven autophagosome transport along microtubules in neuronal axons. The absence of this AP-2-dependent transport causes neuronal morphology simplification and neurodegeneration. The mechanisms that lead to formation of the AP-2-dynactin complex have not been studied to date. However, the inhibition of mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) enhances the transport of newly formed autophagosomes by influencing the biogenesis and protein interactions of Rab-interacting lysosomal protein (RILP), another dynein cargo adaptor. We tested effects of mTORC1 inhibition on interactions between the AP-2 and dynactin complexes, with a focus on their two essential subunits, AP-2β and p150Glued. We found that the mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin enhanced p150Glued-AP-2β complex formation in both neurons and non-neuronal cells. Additional analysis revealed that the p150Glued-AP-2β interaction was indirect and required integrity of the dynactin complex. In non-neuronal cells rapamycin-driven enhancement of the p150Glued-AP-2β interaction also required the presence of cytoplasmic linker protein 170 (CLIP-170), the activation of autophagy, and an undisturbed endolysosomal system. The rapamycin-dependent p150Glued-AP-2β interaction occurred on lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (Lamp-1)-positive organelles but without the need for autolysosome formation. Rapamycin treatment also increased the acidification and number of acidic organelles and increased speed of the long-distance retrograde movement of Lamp-1-positive organelles. Altogether, our results indicate that autophagy regulates the p150Glued-AP-2β interaction, possibly to coordinate sufficient motor-adaptor complex availability for effective lysosome transport.

The area inside the golden circle is considered the “center” compartment, and all movements outside this area are “peripheries.” The lower row shows trajectories (tracks) that were identified by the ImageJ “TrackMate” plugin that were longer than 6.8 mm (100 pixels). Trajectories were color-coded based on their directions, which were established using Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) calculated by change in the distance from the cell center in time. If the distance was increasing with consecutive frames (PCC: 0.5 to 1) tracks were considered to move to the cell membrane. If distance was decreasing (PCC: − 1 to − 0.5), direction was described as moving to the center. Values in between were marked as oscillating.

Postulated mechanism of autophagy initiation-induced recruitment of p150Glued and AP-2β to lysosomes. Administration of rapamycin or L-69030 initiates autophagosome formation (AP), which depends on the presence of CLIP-170. Simultaneously, autophagy inducers lead to a decrease in lysosomal pH (LY pH) and recruitment of the dynatin-AP2 complex to the lysosome (LY), presumably leading to intensification of LY retrograde transport to the perinuclear region and subsequent LY fusion with the mature AP. knd knockdown, SBI-0206965 - Ulk inhibitor
