Imaging Exocytosis of Single Synaptic Vesicles at a Fast CNS Presynaptic Terminal
Synaptic vesicles are tethered to the active zone where they are docked/primed so that they can fuse rapidly upon Ca(2+) influx. To directly study these steps at a CNS presynaptic terminal, we used total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy at the live isolated calyx of Held terminal and measured the movements of single synaptic vesicle just beneath the plasma membrane. Only a sub...
متن کاملCholesterol reduction impairs exocytosis of synaptic vesicles.
Cholesterol and sphingolipids are abundant in neuronal membranes, where they help the organisation of the membrane microdomains involved in major roles such as axonal and dendritic growth, and synapse and spine stability. The aim of this study was to analyse their roles in presynaptic physiology. We first confirmed the presence of proteins of the exocytic machinery (SNARES and Ca(v)2.1 channels...
متن کاملCounting the number of releasable synaptic vesicles in a presynaptic terminal.
Synaptic transmission depends on the continued availability of neurotransmitter-filled synaptic vesicles (SVs) for triggered release from presynaptic boutons. Surprisingly, small boutons in the brain, that already contain comparatively few SVs, are thought to retain the majority of these SVs in a "reserve" pool that is not mobilized under physiological conditions. Why such a scarce synaptic res...
متن کاملTetanus toxin blocks the exocytosis of synaptic vesicles clustered at synapses but not of synaptic vesicles in isolated axons.
Recycling synaptic vesicles are already present in isolated axons of developing neurons (Matteoli et al., Zakharenko et al., 1999). This vesicle recycling is distinct from the vesicular traffic implicated in axon outgrowth. Formation of synaptic contacts coincides with a clustering of synaptic vesicles at the contact site and with a downregulation of their basal rate of exo-endocytosis (Kraszew...
متن کاملImaging presynaptic exocytosis in corticostriatal slices.
Optical imaging is a valuable tool for investigating alterations in membrane turnover and vesicle trafficking. Established techniques can easily be adapted to study the mechanisms of synaptic dysfunction in models of neuropsychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, such as drug addiction, Parkinsonism, and Huntington's disease. Fluorescent endocytic tracers, including FM1-43, have bee...
