The Calcium‐Binding Protein S100A10 (p11) Is Required for Normal Motor Performance by Regulating Vesicle Dynamics at Excitatory Synapses

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Identifying interactors in sensorimotor processing and neurotransmission remains a current challenge for understanding neural information processing and brain function. Methods To evaluate the role of p11 in sensorimotor processing and excitatory synaptic neurotransmission, neuron‐specific lentivirus‐directed p11 silencing, small ...

Synaptotagmin 7 docks synaptic vesicles to support facilitation and Doc2α-triggered asynchronous release

open access: yeseLife
Despite decades of intense study, the molecular basis of asynchronous neurotransmitter release remains enigmatic. Synaptotagmin (syt) 7 and Doc2 have both been proposed as Ca2+ sensors that trigger this mode of exocytosis, but conflicting findings have ...

PIP4K2A regulates intracellular cholesterol transport through modulating PI(4,5)P2 homeostasis

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2018
The transport of LDL-derived cholesterol from lysosomes to peroxisomes is facilitated by membrane contacts formed between the lysosomal protein synaptotagmin VII and the peroxisomal lipid phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2].

Synaptotagmin 7 Mediates Both Facilitation and Asynchronous Release at Granule Cell Synapses

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2018
When an action potential invades a presynaptic terminal it evokes large, brief Ca2+ signals that trigger vesicle fusion within milliseconds that is followed by a small residual Ca2+ (Cares) signal.

Exosome Proteomics of SOD1D90A Mutation Suggest Early Disease Mechanisms, and FN1 as a Biomarker

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 1, Page 131-143, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neuromuscular disease. Super oxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene mutations cause ALS, and the D90A mutation is associated with primarily upper motor neuron (UMN) loss. Objective Our goal is to reveal the early cellular events in ALS pathology and identify potential pharmacokinetic biomarkers, using well ...

Distinct fusion properties of synaptotagmin-1 and synaptotagmin-7 bearing dense core granules

open access: yesMolecular Biology of the Cell, 2014
Adrenal chromaffin cells release hormones and neuropeptides that are essential for physiological homeostasis. During this process, secretory granules fuse with the plasma membrane and deliver their cargo to the extracellular space. It was once believed that fusion was the final regulated step in exocytosis, resulting in uniform and total release of ...

Synaptotagmin 17 controls neurite outgrowth and synaptic physiology via distinct cellular pathways

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The synaptotagmin (syt) proteins have been widely studied for their role in regulating fusion of intracellular vesicles with the plasma membrane. Here we report that syt-17, an unusual isoform of unknown function, plays no role in exocytosis, and instead

Mechanical Environment Afforded by Engineered Hydrogel Critically Regulates Survival of Neural Stem Cells Transplanted in the Injured Spinal Cord via Piezo1‐Mediated Mechanotransduction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, 14 January 2026.
Neural stem cell transplantation shows promise for spinal cord repair, but poor graft survival limits therapeutic efficacy. This study demonstrates that increasing hydrogel stiffness from 10% to 16% concentration significantly enhances transplanted neural stem cell survival through Piezo1‐mediated mechanotransduction, revealing mechanical properties as

RETRACTED: Protein kinase C is a calcium sensor for presynaptic short-term plasticity

open access: yeseLife, 2014
In presynaptic boutons, calcium (Ca2+) triggers both neurotransmitter release and short-term synaptic plasticity. Whereas synaptotagmins are known to mediate vesicle fusion through binding of high local Ca2+ to their C2 domains, the proteins that sense ...
