Actin/Myosin-V- and Activity-Dependent Inter-synaptic Vesicle Exchange in Central Neurons

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Summary: Vesicle sharing between synaptic boutons is an important component of the recycling process that synapses employ to maintain vesicle pools. However, the mechanisms supporting and regulating vesicle transport during the inter-synaptic exchange ...

Synaptic vesicle pools: an update

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2010
During the last few decades synaptic vesicles have been assigned to a variety of functional and morphological classes or pools. We have argued in the past (Rizzoli SO and Betz WJ, 2005, Synaptic vesicle pools, Nat. Rev. Neurosci.

Ultrafast Recycling of Synaptic Vesicles [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2015
Neurons can fire at extremely high rates. To sustain neurotransmission, synaptic vesicles must be recycled locally at synapses. Two models for synaptic vesicle endocytosis have been put forward based on the morphological studies in frog neuromuscular junctions.

Fluorescent Measurement of Synaptic Activity Using SynaptopHluorin in Isolated Hippocampal Neurons

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2014
This protocol comprises the entire process of fluorescent measurement of vesicle recycling using the probe SynaptopHluorin, a pH-dependent GFP variant whose fluorescence increases at the synapse upon vesicle release due to fluorescence quenching in ...

CtBP1-Mediated Membrane Fission Contributes to Effective Recycling of Synaptic Vesicles

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Compensatory endocytosis of released synaptic vesicles (SVs) relies on coordinated signaling at the lipid-protein interface. Here, we address the synaptic function of C-terminal binding protein 1 (CtBP1), a ubiquitous regulator of gene ...

LRRK2 phosphorylates pre-synaptic N-ethylmaleimide sensitive fusion (NSF) protein enhancing its ATPase activity and SNARE complex disassembling rate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background Lrrk2, a gene linked to Parkinson\u2019s disease, encodes a large scaffolding protein with kinase and GTPase activities implicated in vesicle and cytoskeletal-related processes.

Synaptic Vesicle Recycling: The Ferrari of endocytosis? [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 1995
After neurotransmission, neurons internalize and recycle the membrane components of synaptic vesicles remarkably quickly; they may have a 'rebuilt, turbo-charged' endocytic engine to achieve these speeds.

Differential expression of synaptophysin and synaptoporin during pre- and postnatal development of the hippocampal network [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
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

Mutations in Synaptojanin Disrupt Synaptic Vesicle Recycling [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2000
Synaptojanin is a polyphosphoinositide phosphatase that is found at synapses and binds to proteins implicated in endocytosis. For these reasons, it has been proposed that synaptojanin is involved in the recycling of synaptic vesicles. Here, we demonstrate that the unc-26 gene encodes the Caenorhabditis elegans ortholog of synaptojanin.

APache Is an AP2-Interacting Protein Involved in Synaptic Vesicle Trafficking and Neuronal Development

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Summary: Synaptic transmission is critically dependent on synaptic vesicle (SV) recycling. Although the precise mechanisms of SV retrieval are still debated, it is widely accepted that a fundamental role is played by clathrin-mediated endocytosis, a form
