Small Synaptic Vesicle Cycle

Big Question

Endocytosis at Synaptic Terminals

Frog NMJ - 1 min stimulation at 10 Hz

Frog NMJ - 1 min stimulation at 10 Hz

Unstimulated Frog NMJ

Frog NMJ - 1 min stimulation at 10 Hz

Free coats and coated vesicles were only observed distant from Active zone

Synaptojanin Knockout Mice

Recapture by synaptic vesicle cluster

Vesicle mixing during recycling at NMJ

Dynamic and Transient Accessory Factors Eps15, Epsin, intersectin/DAP160, syndapin/pacsin

Calcium Regulation of Endocytosis

Role of Actin

Actin accumulates in vicinity of coated pits when endocytosis is inhibited (e.g. by anti-Endophillin)

"Kiss and Run"

When endocytosis is blocked, a small population of SVs remains

Kiss and Run at Synapses - Methods

Kiss and Run at Synapses - Stimulation Epochs

Same amount of glutamate released

Dye uptake differs depending on mode of stimulation even though same amount of glutamate released

Data - observation 1

Under AP's (red arrow) about 18% of vesicles are released without loss of dye, suggesting "Kiss and Run"
