Minimal presynaptic protein machinery governing diverse kinetics of calcium-evoked neurotransmitter release
Bose D, Bera M, Norman C, Timofeeva Y, Volynski K, Krishnakumar S. Minimal presynaptic protein machinery governing diverse kinetics of calcium-evoked neurotransmitter release. Nature Communications 2024, 15: 10741. PMID: 39738049, PMCID: PMC11685451, DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-54960-1.Peer-Reviewed Original ResearchThis study investigates how specific proteins govern the timing of neurotransmitter release, showing that Synaptotagmin-1 and -7 enable precise synaptic communication by regulating calcium-triggered vesicle fusion dynamics.Investigating Presynaptic Activity using the SF-iGluSnFR Sensor: Measuring Kinetics and Plasticity of Glutamate Release Across Heterogeneous Population of Synapses
