Localization and mobility of synaptic vesicles in Myosin VI mutants of Drosophila. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND: At the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ), synaptic vesicles are mobile; however, the mechanisms that regulate vesicle traffic at the nerve terminal are not fully understood.

Incomplete vesicular docking limits synaptic strength under high release probability conditions

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Central mammalian synapses release synaptic vesicles in dedicated structures called docking/release sites. It has been assumed that when voltage-dependent calcium entry is sufficiently large, synaptic output attains a maximum value of one synaptic ...

Cross-linking mass spectrometry uncovers protein interactions and functional assemblies in synaptic vesicle membranes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters and fuse with the pre-synaptic membrane when an action potential arrives at the nerve terminal. Here authors apply cross-linking mass spectrometry to study interactions of synaptic vesicle proteins and describe a

Astroglial Connexin 43 Regulates Synaptic Vesicle Release at Hippocampal Synapses

open access: yesCells, 2023
Connexin 43, an astroglial gap junction protein, is enriched in perisynaptic astroglial processes and plays major roles in synaptic transmission. We have previously found that astroglial Cx43 controls synaptic glutamate levels and allows for activity ...

Synaptic vesicle fusion [PDF]

open access: yesNature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2008
The core of the neurotransmitter release machinery is formed by SNARE complexes, which bring the vesicle and plasma membranes together and are key for fusion, and by Munc18-1, which controls SNARE-complex formation and may also have a direct role in fusion.

The CD63 homologs, Tsp42Ee and Tsp42Eg, restrict endocytosis and promote neurotransmission through differential regulation of synaptic vesicle pools

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022
The Tetraspanin (Tsp), CD63, is a transmembrane component of late endosomes and facilitates vesicular trafficking through endosomal pathways. Despite being widely expressed in the human brain and localized to late endosomes, CD63's role in regulating ...

Calcium dependence of neurotransmitter release at a high fidelity synapse

open access: yeseLife, 2021
The Ca2+-dependence of the priming, fusion, and replenishment of synaptic vesicles are fundamental parameters controlling neurotransmitter release and synaptic plasticity.

Activity-dependence of synaptic vesicle dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The proper function of synapses relies on efficient recycling of synaptic vesicles. The small size of synaptic boutons has hampered efforts to define the dynamical states of vesicles during recycling.

Clathrin coat controls synaptic vesicle acidification by blocking vacuolar ATPase activity

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Newly-formed synaptic vesicles (SVs) are rapidly acidified by vacuolar adenosine triphosphatases (vATPases), generating a proton electrochemical gradient that drives neurotransmitter loading.
