Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P₂) synthesis is required for calcium-dependent exocytosis in neurosecretory cells. We developed a PtdIns(4,5)P₂ bead pulldown strategy combined with subcellular fractionation to identify endogenous chromaffin granule proteins that interact with PtdIns(4,5)P₂. We identified two synaptotagmin isoforms, synaptotagmins 1 and 7; spectrin; -adaptin; and synaptotagmin-like protein 4 (granuphilin) by mass spectrometry and Western blotting. The interaction between synaptotagmin 7 and PtdIns(4,5)P₂ and its functional relevance was investigated. The 45-kDa isoform of synaptotagmin 7 was found to be highly expressed in adrenal chromaffin cells compared with PC12 cells and to mainly localize to secretory granules by subcellular fractionation, immunoisolation, and immunocytochemistry. We demonstrated that synaptotagmin 7 binds PtdIns(4,5)P₂ via the C2B domain in the absence of calcium and via both the C2A and C2B domains in the presence of calcium. We mutated the polylysine stretch in synaptotagmin 7 C2B and demonstrated that this mutant domain lacks the calcium-independent PtdIns(4,5)P₂ binding. Synaptotagmin 7 C2B domain inhibited catecholamine release from digitonin-permeabilized chromaffin cells, and this inhibition was abrogated with the C2B polylysine mutant. These data indicate that synaptotagmin 7 C2B-effector interactions, which occur via the polylysine stretch, including calcium-independent PtdIns(4,5)P₂ binding, are important for chromaffin granule exocytosis.
