developed that BNP1 might have alternative, or at least additional roles. First, mutations in a BNP1 homolog in C. elegans (eat-4) were noted to cause presynaptic An essential step in chemical synaptic transmission in-deficits in glutamatergic transmission (Berger et al., volves concentration of neurotransmitter into synaptic 1998). Second, immunocytochemical studies of BNP1 vesicles, allowing ...
متن کاملVesicular glutamate transporter-dependent glutamate release from astrocytes.
Astrocytes exhibit excitability based on variations of their intracellular Ca2+ concentrations, which leads to glutamate release, that in turn can signal to adjacent neurons. This glutamate-mediated astrocyte-neuron signaling occurs at physiological intracellular Ca2+ levels in astrocytes and includes modulation of synaptic transmission. The mechanism underlying Ca2+-dependent glutamate release...
متن کاملDistribution of vesicular glutamate transporters in the human brain
Glutamate is the major excitatory transmitter in the brain. Vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUT1-3) are responsible for uploading glutamate into synaptic vesicles. VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 are considered as specific markers of canonical glutamatergic neurons, while VGLUT3 is found in neurons previously shown to use other neurotransmitters than glutamate. Although there exists a rich literature on ...
متن کاملProtons Regulate Vesicular Glutamate Transporters through an Allosteric Mechanism
The quantal nature of synaptic transmission requires a mechanism to transport neurotransmitter into synaptic vesicles without promoting non-vesicular efflux across the plasma membrane. Indeed, the vesicular transport of most classical transmitters involves a mechanism of H(+) exchange, which restricts flux to acidic membranes such as synaptic vesicles. However, vesicular transport of the princi...
متن کاملDifferential control of synaptic and ectopic vesicular release of glutamate.
Exocytosis of synaptic vesicles occurs not only at synaptic active zones but also at ectopic sites. Ectopic exocytosis provides a direct and rapid mechanism for neurons to communicate with glia that does not rely on transmitter spillover from the synaptic cleft. In the cerebellar cortex the processes of Bergmann glia cells encase synapses between presynaptic climbing fiber varicosities and post...
