Extracellular ionic composition alters kinetics of vesicular release of catecholamines and quantal size during exocytosis at adrenal medullary cells.
The temporal resolution of carbon-fiber microelectrodes has been exploited to examine the plasticity of quantal secretory events at individual adrenal medullary cells. The size of individual quantal events, monitored by amperometric oxidation of released catecholamines, was found to be dependent on the extracellular ionic composition, the secretagogue, and the order of depolarization delivery. ...
متن کاملNeural transmitter release: from quantal secretion to exocytosis and beyond..
First of all, let me thank you, Mr Chairman, and your Council for inviting me to give the Wallace Fenn Lecture on this great occasion. I have pleasant memories of my meetings with Wallace Fenn, whom I admired as a person and as a scientist. I had heard much about his achievements long before we met; I knew about him through our mutual friend and teacher, A.V. Hill, in whose laboratory we both h...
متن کاملVMAT-Mediated changes in quantal size and vesicular volume.
It has been well established that the volume of secretory vesicles can be modulated. However, we present the first data demonstrating that the amount of transmitter in a vesicle can regulate its volume. Amperometry and transmission electron microscopy have been used to determine that l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine and reserpine increase and decrease, respectively, the volume of single pheochromoc...
متن کاملPresynaptic regulation of quantal size by the vesicular glutamate transporter VGLUT1.
A fundamental question in synaptic physiology is whether the unitary strength of a synapse can be regulated by presynaptic characteristics and, if so, what those characteristics might be. Here, we characterize a newly proposed mechanism for altering the strength of glutamatergic synapses based on the recently identified vesicular glutamate transporter VGLUT1. We provide direct evidence that fil...
متن کاملPresynaptic regulation of quantal size: K+/H+ exchange stimulates vesicular glutamate transport
It is known that the response to release of neurotransmitter from a single synaptic vesicle (quantal size) can vary as a result of postsynaptic changes in receptors1, but considerably less is known about the presynaptic regulation of quantal size through changes in vesicle filling with transmitter. Glutamate receptors are not saturated at the calyx of Held2,3 and synapses in the hippocampus and...
