A new method for isolation and purification of fusion-competent inhibitory synaptic vesicles [PDF]
Current Research in PhysiologySynaptic 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.

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

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 ...

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

Biogenesis and reformation of synaptic vesicles. [PDF]
J PhysiolAbstract Communication within the nervous system relies on the calcium‐triggered release of neurotransmitter molecules by exocytosis of synaptic vesicles (SVs) at defined active zone release sites. While decades of research have provided detailed insight into the molecular machinery for SV fusion, much less is ...

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 ...

Synaptic Vesicle Exocytosis [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2011 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.

Synaptic vesicle endocytosis [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1997 Exocytosis of synaptic vesicles is followed rapidly by reinternalization and recycling of their membranes. Recent studies have confirmed the key role of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in synaptic vesicle reformation and have identified new proteins that participate in this process.
