RAB3 AND SYNAPTOTAGMIN: The Yin and Yang of Synaptic Membrane Fusion

Geppert, Martin, Südhof, Thomas C.·1998·Annual Review of Neuroscience

Abstract

▪ Abstract Synaptic vesicle exocytosis occurs in consecutive steps: docking, which specifically attaches vesicles to the active zone; priming, which makes the vesicles competent for Ca 2+-triggered release and may involve a partial fusion reaction; and the final Ca 2+-regulated step that completes fusion. Recent evidence suggests that the critical regulation of the last step in the reaction is mediated by two proteins with opposite actions: synaptotagmin, a Ca 2+-binding protein that is essential for Ca 2+-triggered release and probably serves as the Ca 2+-sensor in fusion, and rab3, which limits the number of vesicles that can be fused as a function of Ca 2+ in order to allow a temporally limited, repeatable signal.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
