Differential expression of synaptophysin and synaptoporin during pre- and postnatal development of the hippocampal network [PDF]
The closely related synaptic vesicle membrane proteins synaptophysin and synaptoporin are abundant in the hippocampal formation of the adult rat. But the prenatal hippocampal formation contains only synaptophysin, which is first detected at embryonic day

Optical detection of three modes of endocytosis at hippocampal synapses
Coupling of synaptic vesicle fusion and retrieval constitutes a core mechanism ensuring maintenance of presynaptic function. Recent studies using fast-freeze electron microscopy and capacitance measurements reported an ultrafast mode of endocytosis ...

Summary: Clearance of fused synaptic vesicle components and availability of release sites are important determinants of recovery from short-term synaptic depression. However, the dynamics of release site clearance are not well established.

Neuronal SNARE complex assembly guided by Munc18‐1 and Munc13‐1
Neurotransmitter release by Ca2+‐triggered synaptic vesicle exocytosis is essential for information transmission in the nervous system. The soluble N‐ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) syntaxin‐1, SNAP‐25, and ...

Synaptic communication relies on the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane, which leads to neurotransmitter release. This exocytosis is triggered by brief and local elevations of intracellular Ca2+ with remarkably high sensitivity.

Identification of a synaptic vesicle-specific membrane protein with a wide distribution in neuronal and neurosecretory tissue. [PDF]
Two different monoclonal antibodies, characterized initially as binding synaptic terminal regions of rat brain, bind a 65,000-dalton protein, which is exposed on the outer surface of brain synaptic vesicles. Immunocytochemical experiments at the electron

Molecular correlates of synaptic vesicle docking and fusion
The mechanisms responsible for neurotransmitter release at the synapse have been extensively studied using biochemical, genetic, and cell biological approaches. Several significant advances have recently contributed towards an improved understanding of the molecular details of both synaptic vesicle docking and fusion, and of the general process of ...

The synaptic vesicle Ca2+ sensor Synaptotagmin binds Ca2+ through its two C2 domains to trigger membrane interactions. Beyond membrane insertion by the C2 domains, other requirements for Synaptotagmin activity are still being elucidated.

Beyond the MUN domain, Munc13 controls priming and depriming of synaptic vesicles
Summary: Synaptic vesicle docking and priming are dynamic processes. At the molecular level, SNAREs (soluble NSF attachment protein receptors), synaptotagmins, and other factors are critical for Ca2+-triggered vesicle exocytosis, while disassembly ...
