Metabolic Control of Vesicular Glutamate Transport and Release
Fasting has been used to control epilepsy since antiquity, but the mechanism of coupling between metabolic state and excitatory neurotransmission remains unknown. Previous work has shown that the vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUTs) required for exocytotic release of glutamate undergo an unusual form of regulation by Cl(-). Using functional reconstitution of the purified VGLUTs into proteo...
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...
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 کاملPresynaptic HCN Channels Regulate Vesicular Glutamate Transport
The amount of neurotransmitter stored in synaptic vesicles determines postsynaptic quantal size and thus the strength of synaptic transmission. However, little is known about regulation of vesicular neurotransmitter uptake. In recordings from the calyx of Held, a giant mammalian glutamatergic synapse, we found that changes in presynaptic Na(+) concentration above and below a resting value of 13...
