The E3 ligase Thin controls homeostatic plasticity through neurotransmitter release repression

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Synaptic proteins and synaptic transmission are under homeostatic control, but the relationship between these two processes remains enigmatic. Here, we systematically investigated the role of E3 ubiquitin ligases, key regulators of protein degradation ...

Time-coded neurotransmitter release at excitatory and inhibitory synapses. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Communication between neurons at chemical synapses is regulated by hundreds of different proteins that control the release of neurotransmitter that is packaged in vesicles, transported to an active zone, and released when an input spike occurs ...

ATP as a presynaptic modulator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
© 2000 Elsevier Science Inc.There is considerable evidence that ATP acts as a fast transmitter or co-transmitter in autonomic and sensory nerves mostly through activation of ionotropic P2X receptors but also through metabotropic P2Y receptors. By analogy,

Conserved arginine residues in synaptotagmin 1 regulate fusion pore expansion through membrane contact

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Synaptotagmin 1 (Syt1) is the calcium sensor for fast synchronous neurotransmitter release but the mechanism by which it functions is still under debate.

Long Term Potentiation (LTP) and Long Term Depression (LTD) Cause Differential Spatial Redistribution of the Synaptic Vesicle Protein Synaptophysin in the Middle Molecular Layer of the Dentate Gyrus in Rat Hippocampus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The presynaptic modifications that accompany long-term changes in synaptic plasticity are still not fully understood. Synaptophysin is a major synaptic vesicle protein involved in neurotransmitter release. We have used quantitative electron microscopy to

Synaptic proteins promote calcium-triggered fast transition from point contact to full fusion. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The molecular underpinnings of synaptic vesicle fusion for fast neurotransmitter release are still unclear. Here, we used a single vesicle-vesicle system with reconstituted SNARE and synaptotagmin-1 proteoliposomes to decipher the temporal sequence of ...

New Aspects of Neurotransmitter Releasee and Exocytosis: Regulation of Neurotransmitter Release by Phosphorylation

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003
: Synaptic transmission is conducted by neurotransmitters released from nerve terminals. Neurotransmitter release is regulated both positively and negatively by multiple mechanisms, and its regulation is believed to be one of the important mechanisms of ...

Neuronal activity regulates neurotransmitter switching in the adult brain following light-induced stress. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Neurotransmitter switching in the adult mammalian brain occurs following photoperiod-induced stress, but the mechanism of regulation is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that elevated activity of dopaminergic neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the ...

Long-term plasticity determines the postsynaptic response to correlated afferents with multivesicular short-term synaptic depression

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2014
Synchrony in a presynaptic population leads to correlations in vesicle occupancy at the active sites for neurotransmitter release. The number of independent release sites per presynaptic neuron, a synaptic parameter recently shown to be modifed during ...

Recent Progress in Quantitatively Monitoring Vesicular Neurotransmitter Release and Storage With Micro/Nanoelectrodes

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2021
Exocytosis is one of the essential steps for chemical signal transmission between neurons. In this process, vesicles dock and fuse with the plasma membrane and release the stored neurotransmitters through fusion pores into the extracellular space, and ...
