Activation of diacylglycerol (DAG) signaling pathways with phorbol esters dramatically enhances Ca2+-triggered exocytosis from both endocrine cells and neurons, however the relevant targets of DAG are controversial. A possible effector mechanism for this signaling pathway is phosphorylation of SNAP-25 (25 kDa synaptosome-associated protein) at Ser187 by PKC. Here, we investigated the role of Ser187 in the enhancement of exocytosis by the phorbol ester PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate). We used patch-clamp measurements of membrane capacitance together with photorelease of caged-Ca2+ and membrane depolarization to study exocytosis. Expression of the nonphosphorylatable S187C SNAP-25 mutant did not attenuate the enhancement of exocytosis by PMA in either bovine chromaffin cells or the INS-1 insulin-secreting cell line. To test the effects of Ser187 mutations under conditions in which the endogenous SNAP-25 is disabled, we expressed botulinum toxin serotype E to cleave SNAP-25 in INS-1 cells. Coexpression of a toxin-resistant mutant (TR), but not wild-type SNAP-25, was able to rescue PMA-modulated exocytosis. Coexpression of the toxin with the TR-S187C SNAP-25 mutant was able to completely block the enhancement of exocytosis by PMA in response to photoelevation of [Ca2+]i to low microM levels or to a depolarizing train. The phospho-mimetic S187E mutation enhanced the small, fast burst of exocytosis evoked by photelevation of Ca2+, but, like PMA, had smaller effects on exocytosis evoked by a depolarizing train. This work supports the hypothesis that phosphorylation of Ser187 of SNAP-25 by PKC is a key step in the enhancement of exocytosis by DAG.
