Calcium-Dependent Synaptic Vesicle Trafficking Underlies Indefatigable Release at the Hair Cell Afferent Fiber Synapse
Sensory hair cell ribbon synapses respond to graded stimulation in a linear, indefatigable manner, requiring that vesicle trafficking to synapses be rapid and nonrate-limiting. Real-time monitoring of vesicle fusion identified two release components. The first was saturable with both release rate and magnitude varying linearly with Ca(2+), however the magnitude was too small to account for sust...
متن کاملVesicle depletion and synaptic depression at a mammalian ribbon synapse.
We estimated the size of the readily releasable pool (RRP) of vesicles at a ribbon synapse in the rat retina by making paired voltage-clamp recordings from presynaptic rod bipolar cells (RBCs) and postsynaptic AII amacrine cells in an in vitro retinal slice preparation. The RRP at each active zone was estimated to constitute seven vesicles, in the range of estimated RRP sizes at conventional sy...
متن کاملRole of Rab3 GDP/GTP exchange protein in synaptic vesicle trafficking at the mouse neuromuscular junction.
The Rab3 small G protein family consists of four members, Rab3A, -3B, -3C, and -3D. Of these members, Rab3A regulates Ca(2+)-dependent neurotransmitter release. These small G proteins are activated by Rab3 GDP/GTP exchange protein (Rab3 GEP). To determine the function of Rab3 GEP during neurotransmitter release, we have knocked out Rab3 GEP in mice. Rab3 GEP-/- mice developed normally but died ...
متن کاملVesicle fiesta at the synapse.
erve cells need to transfer information to each other, and researchers have been unravelling the secrets of how they do this for decades. Technical advances and human ingenuity have now combined to take us several steps further in this intellectual challenge. With the publication of two reports in this issue 1,2 (pages 849 and 889) and a third in Science 3 , we can actually watch the intricate ...
متن کاملCeramidase regulates synaptic vesicle exocytosis and trafficking.
A screen for Drosophila synaptic dysfunction mutants identified slug-a-bed (slab). The slab gene encodes ceramidase, a central enzyme in sphingolipid metabolism and regulation. Sphingolipids are major constituents of lipid rafts, membrane domains with roles in vesicle trafficking, and signaling pathways. Null slab mutants arrest as fully developed embryos with severely reduced movement. The SLA...
