Endophilin-A, a well-characterized endocytic adaptor essential for synaptic
vesicle recycling, has recently been linked to neurodegeneration. We report here
that endophilin-A deficiency results in impaired movement, age-dependent ataxia,
and neurodegeneration in mice. Transcriptional analysis of endophilin-A mutant
mice, complemented by proteomics, highlighted ataxia- and
protein-homeostasis-related genes and revealed upregulation of the E3-ubiquitin
ligase FBXO32/atrogin-1 and its transcription factor FOXO3A. FBXO32
overexpression triggers apoptosis in cultured cells and neurons but, remarkably,
coexpression of endophilin-A rescues it. FBXO32 interacts with all three
endophilin-A proteins. Similarly to endophilin-A, FBXO32 tubulates membranes and
localizes on clathrin-coated structures. Additionally, FBXO32 and endophilin-A
are necessary for autophagosome formation, and both colocalize transiently with
autophagosomes. Our results point to a role for endophilin-A proteins in
autophagy and protein degradation, processes that are impaired in their absence,
potentially contributing to neurodegeneration and ataxia.
