Synaptic vesicle endocytosis [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

Synaptic Vesicle Exocytosis [PDF]

open access: yesCold 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]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2012
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

Synaptic vesicle fusion [PDF]

open access: yesNature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2008
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.

The endosomal Q-SNARE, Syntaxin 7, defines a rapidly replenishing synaptic vesicle recycling pool in hippocampal neurons

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Yasunori Mori et al. find that a subset of neurotransmitter-bearing synaptic vesicles are marked for release by the endosomal Q-SNARE protein Stx7. They show that Stx7 function is necessary for the rapid replenishment of synaptic vesicles that is needed ...

Rabconnectin-3α/DMXL2 Is Locally Enriched at the Synaptic Ribbon of Rod Photoreceptor Synapses

open access: yesCells, 2023
Ribbon synapses reliably transmit synaptic signals over a broad signalling range. Rod photoreceptor ribbon synapses are capable of transmitting signals generated by the absorption of single photons.

Structural Properties of Synaptic Transmission and Temporal Dynamics at Excitatory Layer 5B Synapses in the Adult Rat Somatosensory Cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2018
Cortical computations rely on functionally diverse and highly dynamic synapses. How their structural composition affects synaptic transmission and plasticity and whether they support functional diversity remains rather unclear.

Analysis of shape and spatial interaction of synaptic vesicles using data from focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM)

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015
The spatial interactions of synaptic vesicles in synapses were assessed after a detailed characterization of size, shape, and orientation of the synaptic vesicles.

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

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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.
