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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Synaptic vesicles in the fast lane [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
It is well established that a subset of synaptic vesicles seem to be preferentially recycled after neurotransmitter release. It has been assumed that these vesicles must cluster at the active zones of the presynaptic nerve terminal membrane so that they ...

Functional Analysis of Ligand‐Gated Chloride Channels in a Cnidarian Sheds Light on the Evolution of Inhibitory Signaling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We uncover a large variety of putative inhibitory ligand‐gated ion channels (LGICs) in the phylum Cnidaria, the sister group to all bilaterian animals. Phylogenetic analysis suggests a complex evolutionary history of inhibitory LGICs with diverse neurotransmitter ligands.

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.

Synaptic vesicle proteins

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 1999
Thomas Sudhof, Pietro De Camilli, Reinhard Jahn and Richard Scheller, to name but a few. Although the competitive, fast-paced nature of the field means you're unlikely to find them all in the same room at the same time.

Enhanced Glycolysis‐Driven Histone H3K18 Lactylation Regulates Epileptogenesis by Modulating the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase COP1

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Neuronal PKM2‐driven glycolysis generates excess lactate that triggers histone H3K18 lactylation (H3K18la), establishing a pathogenic metabolic‐epigenetic axis in epilepsy. Elevated H3K18la enriches the Cop1 promoter, transcriptionally upregulating the E3 ubiquitin ligase COP1, which subsequently drives proteasomal degradation of GABAARβ2 and impairs ...

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.
