Recent studies suggest that multiple copies of Munc13-1 form nanoassemblies in active zones of neurons. However, it is not known if such clustering of Munc13-1 is correlated with multivalent binding to synaptic vesicles or specific plasma membrane domains at docking sites in the active zone. The functional significance of putative Munc13-1 clustering is also unknown. Here we report that nano-clustering is an inherent property of Munc13-1, and is indeed required for vesicle binding to bilayers containing Munc13-1. Purified Munc13-1 protein reconstituted onto supported lipid bilayers assembled into clusters containing from 2 to ~20 copies as revealed by a combination of quantitative TIRF microscopy and step-wise photobleaching. Surprisingly, only clusters containing a minimum of 6 copies of Munc13-1 were capable of efficiently capturing and retaining small unilamellar vesicles. The C-terminal C 2 C domain of Munc13-1 is not required for Munc13-1 clustering, but is required for efficient vesicle capture. This capture is largely due to a combination of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between the C 2 C domain and the vesicle membrane. %G English %2 https://hal.sorbonne-universite.fr/hal-03297036/document %2 https://hal.sorbonne-universite.fr/hal-03297036/file/Li%20et%20al.%20-%20Vesicle%20capture%20by%20membrane-bound%20Munc13-1%20require.pdf %L hal-03297036 %U https://hal.sorbonne-universite.fr/hal-03297036 %~ UNICE %~ ENS-PARIS %~ CNRS %~ L2C %~ PSL %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UNIV-COTEDAZUR %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ SORBONNE-UNIV %~ LPENS %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ UNIVERSITE-PARIS %~ UP-SCIENCES %~ TEST-HALCNRS %~ ENS-PSL %~ SU-TI %~ ALLIANCE-SU %~ CRHEA %~ UM-2015-2021
