Ca(2+)-dependent secretory granule fusion with the plasma membrane is the final
step for the exocytic release of inflammatory mediators, neuropeptides, and
peptide hormones. Secretory cells use a similar protein machinery at late steps
in the regulated secretory pathway, employing protein isoforms from the Rab,
Sec1/Munc18, Munc13/CAPS, SNARE, and synaptotagmin protein families. However, no
small-molecule inhibitors of secretory granule exocytosis that target these
proteins are currently available but could have clinical utility. Here we
utilized a high-throughput screen of a 25,000-compound library that identified
129 small-molecule inhibitors of Ca(2+)-triggered secretory granule exocytosis in
RBL-2H3 mast cells. These inhibitors broadly fell into six different chemical
classes, and follow-up permeable cell and liposome fusion assays identified the
target for one class of these inhibitors. A family of 2-aminobenzothiazoles
(termed benzothiazole exocytosis inhibitors or bexins) was found to inhibit mast
cell secretory granule fusion by acting on a Ca(2+)-dependent, C2
domain-containing priming factor, Munc13-4. Our findings further indicated that
bexins interfere with Munc13-4-membrane interactions and thereby inhibit
Munc13-4-dependent membrane fusion. We conclude that bexins represent a class of
specific secretory pathway inhibitors with potential as therapeutic agents.
