Morphologic studies have demonstrated a process by which
-granule contents are released from platelets. Studies aimed at defining the molecular mechanisms of this release have
demonstrated that SNARE proteins are required for -granule
secretion. These observations raise the possibility that morphologic
features of -granule secretion may be influenced by the subcellular
distribution of SNARE proteins in the platelet. To evaluate this
possibility, we analyzed the subcellular distribution of 3 functional
platelet SNARE proteins human cellubrevin, SNAP-23, and syntaxin 2. Exposure of streptolysin O-permeabilized platelets to antihuman
cellubrevin antibody inhibited Ca++-induced -granule
secretion by approximately 50%. Inhibition of -granule secretion by
antihuman cellubrevin was reversed by a blocking peptide. Syntaxin 2 and SNAP-23 have previously been demonstrated to mediate platelet
granule secretion. The subcellular localization of the 3 SNARE proteins
was determined by ultrastructural studies, using a pre-embedding
immunonanogold method, and by immunoblot analysis of
subcellular fractions. Immunonanogold localization demonstrated that
approximately 80% of human cellubrevin in resting platelets
was localized to platelet granule membranes. In contrast, SNAP-23
localized predominantly to plasma membrane, whereas syntaxin 2 was more
evenly distributed among membranes of -granules, the open
canalicular system, and plasma membrane. Thus, each of these SNARE
proteins has a distinct subcellular distribution in platelets, and each
of these membrane compartments demonstrates a unique SNARE protein
composition. This distribution provides a basis for several
characteristics of -granule secretion that include homotypic
-granule fusion and the fusion of -granules with the open
canalicular system and plasma membrane.
