A new method for isolation and purification of fusion-competent inhibitory synaptic vesicles [PDF]

Current Research in Physiology
Synaptic vesicles specific to inhibitory GABA-releasing neurons are critical for regulating neuronal excitability. To study the specific molecular composition, architecture, and function of inhibitory synaptic vesicles, we have developed a new method to ...

Recently recycled synaptic vesicles use multi-cytoskeletal transport and differential presynaptic capture probability to establish a retrograde net flux during ISVE in central neurons [PDF]

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Presynapses locally recycle synaptic vesicles to efficiently communicate information. During use and recycling, proteins on the surface of synaptic vesicles break down and become less efficient.

Altered exocytosis of inhibitory synaptic vesicles at single presynaptic terminals of cultured striatal neurons in a knock-in mouse model of Huntington’s disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a progressive dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by the expansion of a cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) trinucleotide repeat in the huntingtin gene, which encodes the mutant huntingtin protein containing an ...

Brain-derived synaptic vesicles have an intrinsic ability to sequester tubulin [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background The presence and function of microtubules within the synaptic bouton has long been under investigation. In recent years, evidence has accumulated that connects the synaptic vesicle cluster to the local dynamics of microtubule ends. Nonetheless,

Tau forms synaptic nano-biomolecular condensates controlling the dynamic clustering of recycling synaptic vesicles [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2023
Neuronal communication relies on the release of neurotransmitters from various populations of synaptic vesicles. Despite displaying vastly different release probabilities and mobilities, the reserve and recycling pool of vesicles co-exist within a single

Methods of measuring presynaptic function with fluorescence probes

Applied Microscopy, 2021
Synaptic vesicles, which are endogenous to neurotransmitters, are involved in exocytosis by active potentials and release neurotransmitters. Synaptic vesicles used in neurotransmitter release are reused via endocytosis to maintain a pool of synaptic ...

Real-time three-dimensional tracking of single vesicles reveals abnormal motion and pools of synaptic vesicles in neurons of Huntington's disease mice

iScience, 2021
Summary: Although defective synaptic transmission was suggested to play a role in neurodegenerative diseases, the dynamics and vesicle pools of synaptic vesicles during neurodegeneration remain elusive.

An analytical method to measure the contribution of clear synaptic and dense-core peri-synaptic vesicles to neurotransmitter release from synaptic terminals with two classes of secretory vesicles

MethodsX, 2021
Two types of secretory vesicles co-exist at some presynaptic terminals. Clear synaptic vesicles (CSV) release their contents at the synaptic active zone, upon single impulses, while dense-core vesicles (DCV) usually release their contents in the ...

Reduced expression of the vesicular acetylcholine transporter and neurotransmitter content affects synaptic vesicle distribution and shape in mouse neuromuscular junction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
In vertebrates, nerve muscle communication is mediated by the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine packed inside synaptic vesicles by a specific vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT).

How do you recognize and reconstitute a synaptic vesicle after fusion? [version 1; referees: 3 approved]

F1000Research, 2017
Synaptic vesicle recycling is essential for sustained and reliable neurotransmission. A key component of synaptic vesicle recycling is the synaptic vesicle biogenesis process that is observed in synapses and that maintains the molecular identity of ...
