Synaptic Vesicles Dynamics in Neocortical Epilepsy

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
Neuronal hyperexcitability often results from an unbalance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission, but the synaptic alterations leading to enhanced seizure propensity are only partly understood.

Research progress on vesicle cycle and neurological disorders

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2021
Neurons are special polarized cells whose synaptic vesicles release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, acting on postsynaptic receptors and thus transmitting information from presynaptic to postsynaptic states.

The GTPase Rab26 links synaptic vesicles to the autophagy pathway

open access: yeseLife, 2015
Small GTPases of the Rab family not only regulate target recognition in membrane traffic but also control other cellular functions such as cytoskeletal transport and autophagy.

Use of fluorescent probes to follow membrane traffic in nerve terminals

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
Optical tracers in conjunction with fluorescence microscopy have become widely used to follow the movement of synaptic vesicles in nerve terminals. The present review discusses the use of these optical methods to understand the regulation of exocytosis ...

Involvement of ClC-3 chloride/proton exchangers in controlling glutamatergic synaptic strength in cultured hippocampal neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
ClC-3 is a member of the CLC family of anion channels and transporters that localizes to early and late endosomes as well as to synaptic vesicles. Its genetic disruption in mouse models results in pronounced hippocampal and retinal neurodegeneration ...

Research progress on the role of type I vesicular glutamate transporter (VGLUT1) in nervous system diseases

open access: yesCell & Bioscience, 2020
Glutamate (Glu) is the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). Glutamatergic transmission is critical for controlling neuronal activity.

VGLUT1 functions as a glutamate/proton exchanger with chloride channel activity in hippocampal glutamatergic synapses

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
During neurotransmission synaptic vesicles are filled with glutamate by vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUTs). Here, authors image intact neurons and show that in synaptic vesicles VGLUT functions as a glutamate/proton exchanger associated with a ...

Histamine synthesis and transport are coupled in axon terminals via a dual quality control system

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal
Monoamine neurotransmitters generated by de novo synthesis are rapidly transported and stored into synaptic vesicles at axon terminals. This transport is essential both for sustaining synaptic transmission and for limiting the toxic effects of monoamines.

LOVIT Is a Putative Vesicular Histamine Transporter Required in Drosophila for Vision

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Classical fast neurotransmitters are loaded into synaptic vesicles and concentrated by the action of a specific vesicular transporter before being released from the presynaptic neuron.

The readily-releasable pool dynamically regulates multivesicular release

open access: yeseLife, 2019
The number of neurotransmitter-filled vesicles released into the synaptic cleft with each action potential dictates the reliability of synaptic transmission.
