In vertebrates, the physical coupling between presynaptic calcium channels and synaptic vesicle release proteins enhances the efficiency of neurotransmission. Recent evidence indicates that these synaptic proteins may feedback directly on synaptic release by negatively regulating calcium entry, and indirectly through pathways involving second messenger molecules. Studies of individual neurons from both vertebrates and invertebrates have provided novel insights into the roles of scaffolding proteins in calcium channel targeting and neurotransmitter release. These studies require us to expand current models of synaptic transmission.
