Abstract
Curcumin is used for the development of new pharmaceutical and food products, but its application is generally hindered by the poor solubility of curcumin and thermal instability during storage and processing. In this study, the liposomes of curcumin (cur-liposomes) were prepared by a novel combination of ethanol injection and high-pressure processing (HPP) to enhance the stability and preservation of curcumin. The pasteurization, mean particle size, size distribution, and encapsulation efficiency of cur-liposomes and the kinetics of their thermal degradation were also investigated in this research. From the results, the kinetic rate constants of curcumin in samples of free curcumin and cur-liposome at 25 °C were found to be 1.6 × 10-3 and 0.8 × 10-3 min-1, respectively. The phospholipid bilayer structure could protect curcumin. The results propose that the HPP method for liposome preparation is superior to the probe-sonication method in terms of stability, encapsulation efficiency, and homogeneity. Furthermore, the preparation of cur-liposomes by HPP with a hydrostatic pressure of 200 MPa could maintain the optimal particle size (206.4 nm) and polydispersity index (0.19). Conclusively, the combination of ethanol injection and HPP can not only successfully inactivate the microorganisms during liposome preparation for microencapsulation of bioactive compounds but also effectively preventthe thermal degradation of heat-sensitive substances in non-thermal processing for practical applications.

Abstract
Membrane remodeling is required for dynamic cellular processes such as cell division, polarization, and motility. BAR domain proteins and dynamins are key molecules in membrane remodeling that work together for membrane deformation and fission. In striated muscles, sarcolemmal invaginations termed T-tubules are required for excitation-contraction coupling. BIN1 and DNM2, which encode a BAR domain protein BIN1 and dynamin 2, respectively, have been reported to be causative genes of centronuclear myopathy (CNM), a hereditary degenerative disease of skeletal muscle, and deformation of T-tubules is often observed in the CNM patients. However, it remains unclear how BIN1 and dynamin 2 are implicated in T-tubule biogenesis and how mutations in these molecules cause CNM to develop. Here, using an in cellulo reconstitution assay, we demonstrate that dynamin 2 is required for stabilization of membranous structures equivalent to T-tubules. GTPase activity of wild-type dynamin 2 is suppressed through interaction with BIN1, whereas that of the disease-associated mutant dynamin 2 remains active due to lack of the BIN1-mediated regulation, thus causing aberrant membrane remodeling. Finally, we show that in cellulo aberrant membrane remodeling by mutant dynamin 2 variants is correlated with their enhanced membrane fission activities, and the results can explain severity of the symptoms in patients. Thus, this study provides molecular insights into dysregulated membrane remodeling triggering the pathogenesis of DNM2-related CNM.

Dynamic clustering of dynamin-amphiphysin helices regulates membrane constriction and fission coupled with GTP hydrolysis. eLife 2018; 7:30246.

Abstract
Dynamin is a mechanochemical GTPase essential for membrane fission during clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Dynamin forms helical complexes at the neck of clathrin-coated pits and their structural changes coupled with GTP hydrolysis drive membrane fission. Dynamin and its binding protein amphiphysin cooperatively regulate membrane remodeling during the fission, but its precise mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we analyzed structural changes of dynamin-amphiphysin complexes during the membrane fission using electron microscopy (EM) and high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM). Interestingly, HS-AFM analyses show that the dynamin-amphiphysin helices are rearranged to form clusters upon GTP hydrolysis and membrane constriction occurs at protein-uncoated regions flanking the clusters. We also show a novel function of amphiphysin in size control of the clusters to enhance biogenesis of endocytic vesicles. Our approaches using combination of EM and HS-AFM clearly demonstrate new mechanistic insights into the dynamics of dynamin-amphiphysin complexes during membrane fission. The nerve cells that make up a nervous system connect at junctions known as synapses. When a nerve impulse reaches the end of the cell, membrane-bound packages called vesicles fuse with the surface membrane and release their contents to the outside. The contents, namely chemicals called neurotransmitters, then travels across the synapse, relaying the signal to the next cell. Nerve cells can fire many times per second. The membrane from fused vesicles must be retrieved from the surface membrane and recycled to make new vesicles, ready to transmit more signals across the synapse. Many proteins at these sites are involved in folding the fused membrane back into the cell, constricting the opening, and eventually pinching off the new vesicles – a process known as endocytosis. Two proteins named dynamin and amphiphysin cooperate in this process, but their precise mechanism remained elusive. Dynamin is a protein that acts like a motor; it breaks down a molecule called GTP to release energy. Previous studies have seen that dynamin-amphiphysin complexes join end to end to form long helical structures. Takeda et al. have now looked at how the structure of the helices changes during endocytosis. This revealed that the dynamin-amphiphysin helices rearrange to form clusters when the GTP is broken down. Further analysis showed that the folded membrane becomes constricted at regions that are not coated with the clusters of dynamin-amphiphysin helices. Takeda et al. also discovered that amphiphysin controls the size of the clusters to help make the new vesicles more uniform. The gene for dynamin is altered in a number of disorders affecting the nervous system and muscles, including epileptic encephalopathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and congenital myopathy. Moreover, a neurological disorder characterized by muscle stiffness (known as Stiff-person syndrome) occurs when an individual’s immune system mistakenly attacks the amphiphysin protein. As such, these new findings will not only help scientists to better understand the process of endocytosis, but they will also give new insight into a number of human diseases.

Abstract
Pex11p family proteins are key players in peroxisomal fission, but their molecular mechanisms remains mostly unknown. In the present study, overexpression of Pex11pβ caused substantial vesiculation of peroxisomes in mammalian cells. This vesicle formation was dependent on dynamin-like protein 1 (DLP1) and mitochondrial fission factor (Mff), as knockdown of these proteins diminished peroxisomal fission after Pex11pβ overexpression. The fission-deficient peroxisomes exhibited an elongated morphology, and peroxisomal marker proteins, such as Pex14p or matrix proteins harboring peroxisomal targeting signal 1, were discernible in a segmented staining pattern, like beads on a string. Endogenous Pex11pβ was also distributed a striped pattern, but which was not coincide with Pex14p and PTS1 matrix proteins. Altered morphology of the lipid membrane was observed when recombinant Pex11p proteins were introduced into proteo-liposomes. Constriction of proteo-liposomes was observed under confocal microscopy and electron microscopy, and the reconstituted Pex11pβ protein localized to the membrane constriction site. Introducing point mutations into the N-terminal amphiphathic helix of Pex11pβ strongly reduced peroxisomal fission, and decreased the oligomer formation. These results suggest that Pex11p contributes to the morphogenesis of the peroxisomal membrane, which is required for subsequent fission by DLP1.

Abstract
The cell membrane serves, at the same time, both as a barrier that segregates as well as a functional layer that facilitates selective communication. It is characterized as much by the complexity of its components as by the myriad of signaling process that it supports. And, herein lays the problems in its study and understanding of its behavior - it has a complex and dynamic nature that is further entangled by the fact that many events are both temporal and transient in their nature. Model membrane systems that bypass cellular complexity and compositional diversity have tremendously accelerated our understanding of the mechanisms and biological consequences of lipid-lipid and protein-lipid interactions. Concurrently, in some cases, the validity and applicability of model membrane systems are tarnished by inherent methodical limitations as well as undefined quality criteria. In this review we introduce membrane model systems widely used to study protein-lipid interactions in the context of key parameters of the membrane that govern lipid availability for peripheral membrane proteins. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Tools to study lipid functions.

Abstract
A complete understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing vesicle formation requires quantitative assays and vesicle reconstitution using purified components. We describe a simple model membrane template for studying protein-mediated membrane remodeling and vesicle formation or fission that is amenable to both quantitative biochemical analysis and real-time imaging by epifluorescence microscopy. Supported bilayers with excess membrane reservoir (SUPER) templates are compositionally well-defined unilamellar membrane systems prepared on 2-5-μm silica beads under conditions that enable incorporation of excess membrane to form a loosely fitting bilayer that can be used to study membrane remodeling and fission. This protocol describes methods for SUPER template formation and characterization, as well as for the qualitative observation and quantitative measurement of vesicle formation and fission via microscopy and a simple sedimentation assay. SUPER templates can be prepared within 60 min. Results from either sedimentation-based or microscopy-based assays can be obtained within an additional 60 min.

Abstract
ACTH is the most important stimulus of the adrenal cortex. The precise molecular mechanisms underlying the ACTH response are not yet clarified. The functional ACTH receptor includes melanocortin-2 receptor (MC2R) and MC2R accessory proteins (MRAP). In human embryonic kidney 293/Flp recombinase target cells expressing MC2R, MRAP1 isoforms, and MRAP2, we found that ACTH induced a concentration-dependent and arrestin-, clathrin-, and dynamin-dependent MC2R/MRAP1 internalization, followed by intracellular colocalization with Rab (Ras-like small guanosine triphosphate enzyme)4-, Rab5-, and Rab11-positive recycling endosomes. Preincubation of cells with monensin and brefeldin A revealed that 28% of the internalized receptors were recycled back to the plasma membrane and participated in total accumulation of cAMP. Moreover, certain intracellular Ser and Thr (S/T) residues of MC2R were found to play important roles not only in plasma membrane targeting and function but also in promoting receptor internalization. The S/T residues T131, S140, T204, and S280 were involved in MRAP1-independent cell-surface MC2R expression. Other mutants (S140A, S208A, and S202D) had lower cell-surface expressions in absence of MRAPβ. In addition, T143A and T147D drastically impaired cell-surface expression and function, whereas T131A, T131D, and S280D abrogated MC2R internalization. Thus, the modification of MC2R intracellular S/T residues may positively or negatively regulate its plasma membrane expression and the capacity of ACTH to induce cAMP accumulation. Mutations of T131, T143, T147, and S280 into either A or D had major repercussions on cell-surface expression, cAMP accumulation, and/or internalization parameters, pointing mostly to the second intracellular loop as being crucial for MC2R expression and functional regulation.

Abstract
RME-1/EHD1 family proteins are key residents of the recycling endosome required for endosome to plasma membrane transport in C. elegans and mammals. Recent studies suggest parallels of the RME-1/EHD proteins to the Dynamin GTPase superfamily of mechanochemical pinchases that promote membrane fission. Here we show that that endogenous C. elegans AMPH-1, the only C. elegans member of Amphiphysin/BIN1 family of BAR-domain proteins, colocalizes with RME-1 on recycling endosomes in vivo, that amph-1 deletion mutants are defective in recycling endosome morphology and function, and that binding of AMPH-1 NPF (D/E) sequences to the RME-1 EH-domain promotes the recycling of transmembrane cargo. We also show a requirement for human BIN1/Amphyphysin 2 in EHD1-regulated endocytic recycling. In vitro we find that the purified recombinant AMPH-1/RME-1 complexes produce short, coated, membrane tubules that are qualitatively distinct from those produced by either protein alone. Our results indicate that AMPH-1 and RME-1 cooperatively regulate endocytic recycling, likely through functions required for the production of cargo carriers exiting the recycling endosome for the cell surface.

Abstract
Amphiphysin 1 (amph 1) is an endocytic protein enriched in the nerve terminals that functions in the clathrin-mediated endocytosis. It acts as membrane curvature sensor, a linker of clathrin coat proteins, and an enhancer of dynamin Guanosine Triphosphatase (GTPase) activity. Amph 1 undergoes phosphorylation by cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5), at five phosphorylation sites, serine 262, 272, 276, 285, and threonine 310, as determined by mass spectrometry (MS). We show here that Cdk5-dependent phosphorylation of amph 1 is enhanced in the presence of lipid membranes. Analysis by tandem liquid chromatograph MS revealed that the phosphorylation occurs at two phosphorylation sites. The phosphorylation was markedly decreased by mutation either Ser276 or Ser285 of amph 1 to alanine (S276A and S285A). Furthermore, mutation of both sites (S276, 285A) completely eliminated the phosphorylation. Functional studies indicated that binding of amph 1 to lipid membrane was attenuated by Cdk5-dependent phosphorylation of wild type amph 1, but not of the S276, 285A form. Interestingly, endocytosis was increased in rat pheochromocytoma cells expressing amph 1 S276, 285A in comparison with wild type. These results suggest that Ser276 and Ser285 are regulatory Cdk5 phosphorylation sites of amph 1 in the lipid-bound state. Phosphorylation at these sites alters binding of amph 1 to lipid membranes, and may be an important regulatory aspect in the regulation of synaptic vesicle endocytosis.

Abstract
Amphiphysins interact directly with clathrin and have a function in clathrin-mediated synaptic vesicle recycling and clathrin-mediated endocytosis. The neuronal isoform amphiphysin-1 is a serine/threonine phosphoprotein that is dephosphorylated upon stimulation of synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Rephosphorylation was stimulated by nerve growth factor. We analysed the regulation of amphiphysin-clathrin interactions by phosphorylation. The N-terminal domain of clathrin bound to unphosphorylated amphiphysin-1, but not to the phosphorylated protein. A search for possible phosphorylation sites revealed two casein kinase 2 consensus motifs in close proximity to the clathrin binding sites in amphiphysin-1 and -2. We mutagenized these residues (T350 and T387) to glutamate, mimicking a constitutive phosphorylation. The double mutant showed a strong reduction in clathrin binding. The assumption that casein kinase 2 phosphorylates amphiphysin-1 at T350 and T387 was corroborated by experiments showing that: (i) casein kinase 2 phosphorylated these residues directly in vitro, (ii) when expressed in HeLa cells, the glutamate mutant showed reduced phosphorylation, and (iii) casein kinase 2 inhibitors blocked nerve growth factor-induced phosphorylation of endogenous amphiphysin-1 in PC12 cells. These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that, upon activation by nerve growth factor, casein kinase 2 phosphorylates amphiphysin-1 and thereby regulates the endocytosis of clathrin-coated vesicles via the interaction between clathrin and amphiphysin.

Abstract
The development of the nervous system (NS) requires the coordinated migration of multiple waves of neurons and subsequent processes of neurite maturation, both involving selective guidance mechanisms. In Caenorhabditis elegans, unc-53 codes for a new multidomain protein involved in the directional migration of a subset of cells. We describe here the first functional characterization of the mouse homologue, mouse Neuron navigator 1 (mNAV1), whose expression is largely restricted to the NS during development. EGFP-mNAV1 associates with microtubules (MTs) plus ends present in the growth cone through a new microtubule-binding (MTB) domain. Moreover, its overexpression in transfected cells leads to MT bundling. The abolition of mNAV1 causes loss of directionality in the leading processes of pontine-migrating cells, providing evidence for a role of mNAV1 in mediating Netrin-1-induced directional migration.

Abstract
Dynamin, unlike many GTPase superfamily members, exhibits a relatively rapid basal rate of GTP hydrolysis that is not rate-limited by GTP binding or GDP dissociation. Also unique to dynamin GTPase family members is their ability to self-assemble into rings and helical stacks of rings either in solution or onto lipid templates. Self-assembly stimulates dynamin's GTPase activity by >100-fold. Given these robust rates of GTP hydrolysis compared to most GTPases, GTP hydrolysis by dynamin can be easily measured using a simple colorimetic assay to detect released phosphate. We describe this assay and report variations in assay conditions that have contributed to the wide range of reported values for dynamin's basal and assembly-stimulated rates of GTP hydrolysis.

Abstract
Amphiphysin is a major dynamin-binding partner at the synapse; however, its function in fission is unclear. Incubation of large unilamellar liposomes with mice brain cytosol led to massive formation of small vesicles, whereas cytosol of amphiphysin 1 knockout mice was much less efficient in this reaction. Vesicle formation from large liposomes by purified dynamin was also strongly enhanced by amphiphysin. In the presence of liposomes, amphiphysin strongly affected dynamin GTPase activity and the recruitment of dynamin to the liposomes, but this activity was highly dependent on liposome size. Deletion from amphiphysin of its central proline-rich stretch dramatically potentiated its effect on dynamin, possibly by relieving an inhibitory intramolecular interaction. These results suggest a model in which maturation of endocytic pits correlates with the oligomerization of dynamin with either amphiphysin or other proteins with similar domain structure. Formation of these complexes is coupled to the activation of dynamin GTPase activity, thus explaining how deep invagination of the pit leads to fission.

Abstract
It has been thought that clathrin-mediated endocytosis is regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of many endocytic proteins, including amphiphysin I and dynamin I. Here, we show that Cdk5/p35-dependent cophosphorylation of amphiphysin I and dynamin I plays a critical role in such processes. Cdk5 inhibitors enhanced the electric stimulation-induced endocytosis in hippocampal neurons, and the endocytosis was also enhanced in the neurons of p35-deficient mice. Cdk5 phosphorylated the proline-rich domain of both amphiphysin I and dynamin I in vitro and in vivo. Cdk5-dependent phosphorylation of amphiphysin I inhibited the association with beta-adaptin. Furthermore, the phosphorylation of dynamin I blocked its binding to amphiphysin I. The phosphorylation of each protein reduced the copolymerization into a ring formation in a cell-free system. Moreover, the phosphorylation of both proteins completely disrupted the copolymerization into a ring formation. Finally, phosphorylation of both proteins was undetectable in p35-deficient mice.

Abstract
The chemical synapse is a specialized intercellular junction that operates nearly autonomously to allow rapid, specific, and local communication between neurons. Focusing our attention on the presynaptic terminal, we review the current understanding of how synaptic morphology is maintained and then the mechanisms in synaptic vesicle exocytosis and recycling.

Abstract
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is one of the major entry routes into a eukaryotic cell. It is driven by protein components that aid the selection of cargo and provide the mechanical force needed to both deform the plasma membrane and detach a vesicle. Clathrin-coated vesicles were first observed by electron microscopy in the early 1960s. In subsequent years, many of the characteristic intermediates generated during vesicle formation have been trapped and observed. A variety of electron microscopy techniques, from the analysis of sections through cells to the study of endocytic intermediates formed in vitro, have led to the proposition of a sequence of events and of roles for different proteins during vesicle formation. In this article, these techniques and the insights gained are reviewed, and their role in providing snap-shots of the stages of endocytosis in atomic detail is discussed.

Abstract
Various coated vesicles are implicated in the intracellular transport between different compartments. In vitro reconstitution is a powerful experimental system to study molecular mechanisms involved in assembly of coat proteins from cytosol onto membranes as well as formation of coated vesicles. Liposomes have been recently utilized in the cell-free systems. In this review, we summarize studies on reconstitutions of coated vesicles or coated structures on liposomes. A novel method using dynamic light scattering (DLS) to quantify vesicle formation from liposomes also is described. Our recent study on the role of phospholipids in vesicle formation, where the DSL assay is used in combination with lipid analysis, also is introduced.

Abstract
As a step toward the elucidation of mechanisms in vesicle budding, a cell-free assay that measures cytosol-induced vesicle generation from liposomes was established. This assay then was used to explore the role of phosphoinositides in vesicle formation. Liposomes incubated with brain cytosol in the presence of ATP and GTP massively generated small vesicles, as assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively by a dynamic light-scattering assay. Both ATP and GTP were required. Vesicle formation was inhibited greatly by the immunodepletion of dynamin 1 from the cytosol, indicating a major contribution of this GTPase in this reaction and suggesting that it mimics endocytic vesicle fission. Increasing the concentration of l-alpha-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] but not of l-alpha-phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate or l-alpha-phosphatidylinositol in the lipid membranes enhanced vesicle formation. Lipid analysis revealed rapid degradation of PtdIns(4,5)P2 to l-alpha-phosphatidylinositol during the incubation with the reaction reaching a maximum within 5 sec, whereas vesicle formation proceeded with a longer time course. PtdIns(4,5)P2 degradation was independent of vesicle formation and occurred also in the presence of guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate), where few vesicle formations occurred. These results suggest that PtdIns(4,5)P2 plays a critical role in the early step of vesicle formation, possibly in the recruitment of coats and fission factors to membranes.
