A postsynaptic PI3K-cII dependent signaling controller for presynaptic homeostatic plasticity
Figures

Screen of Drosophila kinome and phosphatome in presynaptic homeostatic plasticity.
(A) Schematic highlighting the trans-synaptic nature of presynaptic homeostatic plasticity. The 'synaptic set point’ is operationally defined as the combined action of all pre- and postsynaptic parameters that reliably specify the transfer of information at the synapse. The synaptic set point is stably maintained by a trans-synaptic, homeostatic signaling circuit (red arrow) that includes postsynaptic sensors, retrograde feedback signaling, and presynaptic effectors that drive changes in presynaptic vesicle release. At right, the forward genetic screen of the Drosophila kinome and phosphatome is outlined. (B–C) Each point represents average data from a single NMJ. Purple points are in the presence of PhTX. Black points are in the absence of PhTX (baseline). The black hash marks on X and Y axes designate average mEPSP and EPSP amplitudes, respectively, without PhTX. The purple hash marks are averages in the presence of PhTX. The black line in (C) is a power curve fit, equation indicated on graph. The dotted blue lines encompass 95% of all wild-type data points. Recordings made at 0.35 mM [Ca2+]e. (D–E) Screen data of kinase and phosphatase UAS-RNAi driven by muscle and neuron GAL4 plotted as in (B–C) except that each point represent genotypic averages, yellow points (+PhTX) and black circles (-PhTX, baseline). The black line in (D) denotes two standard deviations below the population mean EPSP amplitude of control genotypes from (B). In (D) and (E) the red dot represents GAL4, UAS-RNAi for Pi3K68D.The black line in (E) is the same curve fit to the control data set in C, layered onto the experimental screen data for comparison. Blue dotted lines as in (C). Recordings made at 0.35 mM [Ca2+]e.

(B) Representative EPSP and spontaneous mEPSP in wild-type (black) and mutant Pi3K68D (red), in the absence or presence of PhTX as indicated. Recordings made at 0.3 mM [Ca2+]e. (C) Average mEPSP amplitude, EPSP amplitude, and presynaptic release (quantal content) in WT, Pi3K68DGS, Pi3K68DMB, and Pi3K68DAH1. Unfilled bars are in the absence of PhTX. Filled bars are in the presence of PhTX. Mean ± SEM; ns not significant, *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, and ****p<0.0001; Student’s t-test. (D) Each point represents average data from an individual NMJ recording. For WT, recordings in absence of PhTX are filled black circles while those with PhTX are unfilled black circles. For Pi3K68D, recordings in absence of PhTX are grey circles while those with PhTX are red circles. The black or grey filled hash marks on the X and Y axes represent the average mEPSP amplitude and QC, respectively, without PhTX. The white and red hash marks on the X and Y axes represent average mEPSP amplitude and QC, respectively, with PhTX. The black line in the WT graph is a curve fit to this control data. The same wild-type curve-fit is overlaid on the Pi3K68D data for purposes of comparison. Dotted blue lies encompass 95% of wild-type data points. These same lines from wild-type are superimposed on the Pi3K68D graph, at right.

Model for the control of PHP and PHD from an endosomal ‘controller’.
(A) A model of homeostatic feedback control inclusive of feedback for both PHP and PHD. The sign for modulation of presynaptic release is indicated. We speculate that signaling pathway cross-inhibition allows for either PHP (red) or PHD (blue) to be selectively induced. When mEPSP amplitudes are decreased (PhTX), this is detected by the sensor and differs from the synaptic set point, causing an error signal to be generated. The error is then relayed to a homeostatic ‘controller’ where the error is integrated and signaling is induced corresponding to the specific induction of either PHP (red) or PHD (blue). We propose that cross pathway inhibition at the level of the controller allows for the specific induction of either PHP or PHD. We propose that the ‘controller’ is organized within the PI3K and Rab11-depedent recycling endosomal signaling platform and that loss of this signaling platform leads to inappropriate induction of PHD in the presence of PhTX, causing a mechanistic clash at the level of the presynaptic terminal. (B) A model of the neuromuscular junction, highlighting mechanisms of PHP in red (increased calcium influx, increased RRP, and increased vesicle coupling) and PHD in blue, for which very little is understood mechanistically.
