Synaptotagmin-7 outperforms synaptotagmin-1 to promote the formation of large, stable fusion pores via robust membrane penetration

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Synaptotagmin-1 and synaptotagmin-7 are two prominent calcium sensors that regulate exocytosis in neuronal and neuroendocrine cells. Upon binding calcium, both proteins partially penetrate lipid bilayers that bear anionic phospholipids, but the specific ...

Ca2+ regulates the Drosophila Stoned-A and Stoned-B proteins interaction with the C2B domain of Synaptotagmin-1. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The dicistronic Drosophila stoned gene is involved in exocytosis and/or endocytosis of synaptic vesicles. Mutations in either stonedA or stonedB cause a severe disruption of neurotransmission in fruit flies.

Synaptotagmin gene content of the sequenced genomes [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2004
Background Synaptotagmins exist as a large gene family in mammals. There is much interest in the function of certain family members which act crucially in the regulated synaptic vesicle exocytosis required for efficient neurotransmission.

Synaptotagmin 2 Is the Fast Ca2+ Sensor at a Central Inhibitory Synapse

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Summary GABAergic synapses in brain circuits generate inhibitory output signals with submillisecond latency and temporal precision. Whether the molecular identity of the release sensor contributes to these signaling properties remains unclear.

Triple Function of Synaptotagmin 7 Ensures Efficiency of High-Frequency Transmission at Central GABAergic Synapses

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Synaptotagmin 7 (Syt7) is thought to be a Ca2+ sensor that mediates asynchronous transmitter release and facilitation at synapses. However, Syt7 is strongly expressed in fast-spiking, parvalbumin-expressing GABAergic interneurons, and the output synapses
