The synaptic vesicle (SV) protein synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1) is the Ca2+ sensor for fast synchronous release. Biochemical and structural data suggest that Syt1 interacts with phospholipids and SNARE complex, but the manner in which these interactions ...

Synaptic Vesicle Exocytosis [PDF]
Presynaptic nerve terminals release neurotransmitters by synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Membrane fusion mediating synaptic exocytosis and other intracellular membrane traffic is affected by a universal machinery that includes SNARE (for "soluble NSF-attachment protein receptor") and SM (for "Sec1/Munc18-like") proteins.

TRPM7 is critical for short-term synaptic depression by regulating synaptic vesicle endocytosis
Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) contributes to a variety of physiological and pathological processes in many tissues and cells. With a widespread distribution in the nervous system, TRPM7 is involved in animal behaviors and neuronal ...

Synaptic Vesicle Endocytosis [PDF]
Neurons can sustain high rates of synaptic transmission without exhausting their supply of synaptic vesicles. This property relies on a highly efficient local endocytic recycling of synaptic vesicle membranes, which can be reused for hundreds, possibly thousands, of exo-endocytic cycles. Morphological, physiological, molecular, and genetic studies over

A delay in vesicle endocytosis by a C-terminal fragment of N-cadherin enhances Aβ synaptotoxicity
Synaptotoxic Aβ oligomers are thought to play a major role in the early pathology of Alzheimer´s disease (AD). However, the molecular mechanisms involved in Aβ-induced synaptic dysfunction and synapse damage remain largely unclear.

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

Astroglial Connexin 43 Regulates Synaptic Vesicle Release at Hippocampal Synapses
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 ...

Incomplete vesicular docking limits synaptic strength under high release probability conditions
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 ...

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

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.
