Synaptotagmin I is a 65 kDa type 1 membrane glycoprotein found in secretory organelles that plays a key role in regulated exocytosis. We have characterised two forms (long and short) of synaptotagmin I that are present in the bovine adrenal medulla. The long form is a type I integral membrane protein which has two cytoplasmic C2 domains and corresponds to the previously characterised full-length synaptotagmin I isoform. The short-form synaptotagmin I-ΔC2B has the same structure in the lumenal and transmembrane sequences, but synaptotagmin I-ΔC2B is truncated such that it only has a single cytoplasmic C2 domain. Analysis of synaptotagmin I-ΔC2B expression indicates that synaptotagmin I-ΔC2B is preferentially expressed in the bovine adrenal medulla. However, it is absent from the dense core chromaffin granules. Furthermore, when expressed in the rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC12 bovine synaptotagmin I-ΔC2B is largely absent from dense core granules and synaptic-like microvesicles. Instead, indirect immunofluorescence microscopy reveals the intracellular location of synaptotagmin I-ΔC2B to be the plasma membrane.
