Background: Otoferlin deficiency impairs hair cell exocytosis and causes deafness. Results: Otoferlin binds Ca2+, regulating phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, t-SNARE, and intramolecular C2 interactions; otoferlin directly interacts with SNAP-25 and syntaxin-1B. Conclusion: Low Ca2+ promotes interactions among otoferlin C2C, C2D, C2E, and C2F; high Ca2+ drives t-SNARE and lipid interactions. Significance: Otoferlin may mediate novel modes of Ca2+-driven membrane fusion in hair cells.Mutations in otoferlin, a C2 domain-containing ferlin family protein, cause non-syndromic hearing loss in humans (DFNB9 deafness). Furthermore, transmitter secretion of cochlear inner hair cells is compromised in mice lacking otoferlin. In the present study, we show that the C2F domain of otoferlin directly binds calcium (K-D = 267 m) with diminished binding in a pachanga (D1767G) C2F mouse mutation. Calcium was found to differentially regulate binding of otoferlin C2 domains to target SNARE (t-SNARE) proteins and phospholipids. C2D-F domains interact with the syntaxin-1 t-SNARE motif with maximum binding within the range of 20-50 m Ca2+. At 20 m Ca2+, the dissociation rate was substantially lower, indicating increased binding (K-D = approximate to 10(-9)) compared with 0 m Ca2+ (K-D = approximate to 10(-8)), suggesting a calcium-mediated stabilization of the C2 domaint-SNARE complex. C2A and C2B interactions with t-SNAREs were insensitive to calcium. The C2F domain directly binds the t-SNARE SNAP-25 maximally at 100 m and with reduction at 0 m Ca2+, a pattern repeated for C2F domain interactions with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. In contrast, C2F did not bind the vesicle SNARE protein synaptobrevin-1 (VAMP-1). Moreover, an antibody targeting otoferlin immunoprecipitated syntaxin-1 and SNAP-25 but not synaptobrevin-1. As opposed to an increase in binding with increased calcium, interactions between otoferlin C2F domain and intramolecular C2 domains occurred in the absence of calcium, consistent with intra-C2 domain interactions forming a closed tertiary structure at low calcium that opens as calcium increases. These results suggest a direct role for otoferlin in exocytosis and modulation of calcium-dependent membrane fusion.
