Clathrin-mediated endocytosis of synaptic vesicle membranes involves the recruitment of clathrin and AP-2 adaptor complexes to the presynaptic plasma membrane. Phosphoinositides have been implicated in nucleating coat assembly by directly binding to several endocytotic proteins including AP-2 and AP180. Here, we show that the stimulatory effect of ATP and GTP{gamma}S on clathrin coat recruitment is mediated at least in part by increased levels of PIP2. We also provide evidence for a role of ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) via direct stimulation of a synaptically enriched phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase type I{gamma} (PIPKI{gamma}), in this effect. These data suggest a model according to which activation of PIPKI{gamma} by ARF6-GTP facilitates clathrin-coated pit assembly at the synapse.

Key Words: ARF; clathrin coat assembly; PIPK I{gamma}; PIP2 formation; endocytosis
