A READILY RETRIEVABLE POOL OF SYNAPTIC VESICLES
GIRARDEAU Paul
SILVESTRE DE FERRON Benoit
Synaptic transmission is limited by the recycling of synaptic vesicles for many rounds of use
Introduction Synaptic transmission
The main process of vesicle recycling is mediated by clathrin
The formation of clathrin-coated vesicles from the plasma membrane
BUT slow process (sec to mn)
Introduction Synaptic transmission
2 mechanisms identified
Continuous activity Necessity of rapid recycling
Clathrin mediated : Preassembled structures
Pool of preassembled vesicle proteins
At the pre-synaptic surface
Introduction Vesicle recycling
Clathrin-independent : Kiss and run
What are the temporal dynamics of such a « readily retrievable pool » ?
VARIOUS SYNAPTIC PROTEINS AT THE SYNAPTIC VESICULAR MEMBRANE
Synatptotagmin (Syt1) and Synaptobrevin (Syb2) : most numerous vesicular proteins VGAT (vesicular transporter of amino acids in inhibitory neurons)
Labeling:• of Syt1, Syb 2 and VGAT• to test the hypothesis of the pool of preassembled structures • in rat hippocampal neurons
Introduction Vesicle proteins
Methods Exo-endoxytosis of endogenous synaptic vesicle proteins
Synaptotagmin 1 antibody coupled with cypHer (pH sensitive fluorophore) anti-Syt1-cypHer
VGAT antibody coupled with cypHer (pH sensitive fluorophore)
anti-VGAT-cypHer
Normalized fluorescence of anti-Syt1-cypHer
The fluorescence is maximal at pH 5.5(pH of inside synaptic vesicle)
Cypher emits red fluorescence when excited at 640 nm
