Three small vesicular pools in sequence govern synaptic response dynamics during action potential trains

Van Tran et al.

Summary: During the transmission of presynaptic action potentials, there is a small vesicular pool that replenishes the readily releasable pool of synapses. This vesicular pool is significantly depleted by short bursts of action potentials and reaches a steady state when stimulated by more than 10 action potentials. The control of this vesicular pool plays a crucial role in synaptic strength.

Dynamics of Neuromuscular Transmission Reproduced by Calcium-Dependent and Reversible Serial Transitions in the Vesicle Fusion Complex

Alejandro Martinez-Valencia et al.

Summary: This text discusses a mechanistic model of neuromuscular transmission, which accurately reproduces the process from spontaneous release to facilitation and depression. The model predicts the calcium-dependent forward transitions in vesicle maturation and fusion, as well as reversible prepriming and priming states. It suggests that fusion is produced by one calcium sensor and that the modulation of vesicle fusion depends on calcium sensors promoting early transition states.

Non-negative Matrix Factorization as a Tool to Distinguish Between Synaptic Vesicles in Different Functional States

Erwin Neher et al.

Summary: The study introduces an analysis technique to decompose quantal release during repetitive stimulation, revealing contributions from functionally distinct synaptic vesicle subpools in rat calyx of Held synapses. The high variability in synaptic strength and short-term plasticity of these synapses is successfully described by the method.

Quantal analysis estimates docking site occupancy determining short-term depression at hippocampal glutamatergic synapses

Mamoru Tanaka et al.

Summary: The study revealed that at the hippocampal mossy fibre-CA3 interneuron synapse, there is a high occupancy probability and release probability, which are crucial determinants of short-term synaptic depression.

Munc13-1 is a Ca2+-phospholipid-dependent vesicle priming hub that shapes synaptic short-term plasticity and enables sustained neurotransmission

Noa Lipstein et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that Munc13-1 regulates the recruitment rate of release-ready synaptic vesicles through a calcium-phospholipid-dependent mechanism, impacting the endurance and temporal accuracy of synaptic transmission.

Shortened tethering filaments stabilize presynaptic vesicles in support of elevated release probability during LTP in rat hippocampus

Jae Hoon Jung et al.

Summary: Long-term potentiation is a cellular mechanism of learning and memory characterized by changes in vesicle density and structure of vesicle tethering filaments, resulting in an increase in release probability following LTP.

Variability in the Munc13-1 content of excitatory release sites

Maria Rita Karlocai et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated molecular heterogeneity in the number and content of release sites at cortical glutamatergic synapses, supporting a model in which the presynaptic active zone is built up from variable numbers of molecularly heterogeneous, but independent release sites.

Postnatal maturation of glutamate clearance and release kinetics at the rat and mouse calyx of Held synapses

Che Ho Yang et al.

Summary: The study found that certain parameters of calyx synapses in rats and mice gradually approached mature levels at P14, and further matured at P16 or P18, indicating that the maturation process of calyx synapses continues at these stages.

Calcium-dependent docking of synaptic vesicles

Melissa Silva et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shed new light on the mechanisms by which calcium ions regulate neurotransmitter release at presynaptic terminals, including calcium-dependent vesicle movements, exocytosis, and the rapid vesicle maturation step before release. Molecular studies have identified calcium-sensitive domains on Munc13 and synaptotagmin-1 involved in bringing vesicular and plasma membranes closer together in response to elevated calcium levels.
