    Figure 1. Schematics of the proteins involved in this study. (a) Molecular models of SNAP-25 (based on PDB: 1KIL, in red) and <t>Syntaxin</t> <t>1A</t> (based on PDBs: 1HVV & 1BR0, in green) residing in the plasma membrane (in yellow). On the right we show a nanobody (PDB: 1I3V, in purple) bearing a single Atto647N at the C-terminus, and a complex of a primary and a randomly-labeled secondary antibody with Atto647N on lysines (PDB: 1IGY in blue and light-blue). All molecular models are displayed in the same scale and the bar represents 2 nm. (b) Schematic view of antigens used for the immunization and their wild-type forms. Important functional domains are marked in gray (TM = trans-membrane domain) and the amino acids positions are denoted below. For immunization (injected), all four cysteine residues of SNAP-25 were mutated to serines. For injection of Syntaxin 1A, only the cytosolic portion of the molecule was used to facilitate it expression in E. coli.

    Figure 3. Specificity test for the selected nanobodies in immunofluorescence and Western Blots. (a & b) COS-7 cells transiently transfected with SNAP-25-EGFP or Syntaxin 1A-EGFP were stained with S25-Nb10 or Stx1A-Nb6 conjugated with a single Atto647N fluorophore. The nanobody signal correlates with the EGFP signal and shows no staining in untransfected cells (revealed by Hoechst-nuclear staining; white arrowheads). The scale bar represents 10 µm. Note that Syntaxin 1A accumulates in the ER-Golgi region due to an impaired export caused by the lack of neuronal cofactors, as it was found in the past30 (c & d) The following samples were loaded in a denaturating SDS-PAGE and were blotted on a nitrocellulose membrane (2 µg of each purified protein, and 20 µg of total protein for the cell or brain lysates): E. coli-purified full length SNAP-25 including a Twin-Strep-Tag (tst; 27.8 kDa), or Syntaxin 1A fused to a SUMO domain and a Twin-Strep-Tag (44.7 kDa); lysates from HEK293 cells transiently transfected with full length Syntaxin 1A-tst (HEK-Stx1A, 37.5 kDa) or SNAP-25-tst (HEK-SNAP-25, 27.8 kDa); whole rat brain and rat primary hippocampal neurons (15 days in vitro). Detection was performed using S25-Nb10 (c) or Stx1A-Nb6 (d) conjugated to a single Atto647N. Both candidates specifically detect the bands at the expected molecular weights (displayed in the protein schematics), while showing no cross-reactivity to the opposite antigen or to any other proteins present in the lysates.

    Figure 4. Both nanobodies reveled epitopes that are not reported by antibodies in highly crowded regions of endogenously-expressing PC12 cells or over-expressing COS-7 cells. (a) PC12 cells were co-stained with conventional monoclonal antibodies and with our fluorescently labeled nanobodies. Monoclonal anti SNAP-25 and Syntaxin 1A (clone 71.1 and HPC-1) were detected with a secondary antibody conjugated to Abberior-Star580 (in green). S25-Nb10 or Stx1A-Nb6 were conjugated to a single Atto647N fluorophore (in red). Laser scanning confocal images of the nanobody and the antibody signals colocalize relatively good at the plasma membrane, but the nanobodies also reveal stronger signals in the perinuclear areas (especially evident for SNAP-25). The scale bar represents 10 µm. (b) Laser scanning confocal images of COS-7 cells transiently transfected with SNAP-25 or Syntaxin 1A fused to EGFP (in green) and co-stained with monoclonal primary and Cy3-fluorescently labeled secondary antibody (clone 71.1 and clone 78.2, in magenta) and nanobodies directly conjugated to Atto647N (in red). Scale bar represents 10 µm. (c) Line profiles of the white lines displayed in (B) are shown for all three channels, each channel was normalized to its maximum signal intensity on the picture. (d) The average fluorescence of full cells, black bars or at the perinuclear regions, light-grey bars in respect to their EGFP signals were calculated. For every selected region of interest, the averaged fluorescence signal of antibodies or nanobodies was calculated and normalized to the average EGFP-fluorescence in the respective region. Statistical analysis was done using unpaired t-test, error bars represent SEM, from three independent experiments analyzing a total of 37 cells for SNAP-25-EGFP and 36 cells for Stx1A-EGFP. n.s. = not significant.

    Figure 6. Co-localization between SNAP-25 and Syntaxin 1A, detected by antibodies or nanobodies in STED microscopy. (a) Co-staining for SNAP-25 and Syntaxin 1A in primary hippocampal neurons. A polyclonal rabbit antibody against SNAP-25 and a mouse monoclonal against Syntaxin 1A were used. Rabbit anti SNAP-25 was further detected with a secondary antibody conjugated to Abberior-Star580; Syntaxin 1A primary antibody was detected with an Atto647N-conjugated secondary antibody. Nanobody co-staining was performed with S25-Nb10 conjugated to Abberior-Star580 and with Stx1A-Nb6 conjugated to Atto647N. The scale bars represent 2 µm and 500 nm in the low and high zoom, respectively. (b) Pearson´s correlation coefficients (expressed as coefficients of determination, R2) between the green and red signals within synapses were calculated from 17 independent experiments for the antibodies and from 9 independent experiments for the nanobodies (typically, 10 images per experiment were analyzed). The values are shown as box plots, with the median, 25th and 95th percentile shown in the graph, and with symbols showing outliers. The difference is significant (Wilcoxon rank sum test; p = 0.0311).

    Figure 8. Investigation of the extra-synaptic populations of SNAP-25 and Syntaxin 1A in hippocampal neurons upon electrical stimulation. Cultured neurons were co- stained with nanobodies directly coupled to Atto647N and with anti-Synaptophysin antibodies (detected with a secondary coupled to Alexa488) to identify synaptic regions. (a) STED images of the nanobody immunostainings were analyzed. The distribution of extra-synaptic SNAP-25 remains unchanged upon stimulation at 20 Hertz for 60 seconds, resembling the pattern previously observed in Figure 5. For control, stimulation and recovery conditions, 356, 388 and 424 synapse line profiles were analyzed from three independent experiments. (b) Upon stimulation, the population of Syntaxin 1A that is outside of synapses relocates into neighboring synapses. This population recovers if the neurons are further incubated for five minutes at 37 °C after stimulation. For control, stimulation and recovery conditions, 288, 144 and 280 synapses were analyzed from three independent experiments. The exemplary images show the nanobody signals in regions centered on synapses (determined by Synaptophysin staining). The scale bars represent 1 µm.

(B, C) Distances of the labeled sites of Syntaxin from the membrane before (solid bars) and after (open bars) incubation with 0.5 µM Munc18 in PM 1% PIP2 supported lipid bilayers with Syntaxin only (B) or Syntaxin co-reconstituted with SNAP25 (C) .

(G and H) Cumulative distribution function of the delay times (data points) and the fit with a parallel reaction model N ( t ) = (1 − exp − kt ) m , where k is the rate constant and m is the number of parallel reactions occurring (solid line) in PM 1% PIP2 (G) and bPC:Chol (H) membranes. (I and J) Half-times of the maximum fusion calculated from the fits of the cumulative distribution function of the delay times in PM 1% PIP2 (I) and bPC:Chol membranes (J) . For statistical analysis, Kruskal-Wallis test for non-Gaussian distribution was used in multiple comparison tests. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for cumulative distributions was used to compare docking to fusion delay times.
