From the Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 monomeric GTPases are well
known regulators of the actin cytoskeleton and phosphoinositide
metabolism and have been implicated in hormone secretion in endocrine
cells. Here, we examine their possible implication in
Ca2+-dependent exocytosis of
neurotransmitters. Using subcellular fractionation procedures, we found
that RhoA, RhoB, Rac1, and Cdc42 are present in rat brain synaptosomes;
however, only Rac1 was associated with highly purified synaptic
vesicles. To determine the synaptic function of these
GTPases, toxins that impair Rho-related proteins were
microinjected into Aplysia neurons. We used lethal toxin
from Clostridium sordellii, which inactivates Rac; toxin B
from Clostridium difficile, which inactivates Rho, Rac, and Cdc42; and C3 exoenzyme from Clostridium botulinum and
cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 from Escherichia coli, which
mainly affect Rho. Analysis of the toxin effects on evoked
acetylcholine release revealed that a member of the Rho family, most
likely Rac1, was implicated in the control of neurotransmitter release.
Strikingly, blockage of acetylcholine release by lethal toxin and toxin
B could be completely removed in <1 s by high frequency stimulation of
nerve terminals. Further characterization of the inhibitory action
produced by lethal toxin suggests that Rac1 protein regulates a late
step in Ca2+-dependent neuroexocytosis.
