I-6: Role of Actin Cytoskeleton during Mouse Sperm Acrosomal Exocytosis
Background: Mammalian sperm must undergo a process termed capacitation to become competent to fertilize an egg. Capacitation renders the sperm competent by priming the cells to undergo a rapid exocytotic event called acrosomal exocytosis that is stimulated by the zona pellucida (ZP) of the egg or progesterone. Over the years, several biochemical events have been associated with the capacitation...
متن کاملA Complexin/Synaptotagmin 1 Switch Controls Fast Synaptic Vesicle Exocytosis
Ca(2+) binding to synaptotagmin 1 triggers fast exocytosis of synaptic vesicles that have been primed for release by SNARE-complex assembly. Besides synaptotagmin 1, fast Ca(2+)-triggered exocytosis requires complexins. Synaptotagmin 1 and complexins both bind to assembled SNARE complexes, but it is unclear how their functions are coupled. Here we propose that complexin binding activates SNARE ...
متن کاملSynaptic vesicle proteins and regulated exocytosis.
The recent identification of novel proteins associated with the membranes of synaptic vesicles has ignited the field of molecular neurobiology to probe the function of these molecules. Evidence is mounting that the vesicle proteins vamp (synaptobrevin), rab3A, synaptophysin, synaptotagmin (p65) and SV2 play an important role in regulated exocytosis, by regulating neurotransmitter uptake, vesicl...
متن کاملBotulinum Neurotoxin D Uses Synaptic Vesicle Protein SV2 and Gangliosides as Receptors
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) include seven bacterial toxins (BoNT/A-G) that target presynaptic terminals and act as proteases cleaving proteins required for synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Here we identified synaptic vesicle protein SV2 as the protein receptor for BoNT/D. BoNT/D enters cultured hippocampal neurons via synaptic vesicle recycling and can bind SV2 in brain detergent extracts. BoNT/D...
متن کاملVaricosities of single sympathetic nerve terminals possess syntaxin zones and different synaptotagmin N-terminus labelling following stimulation.
A study has been made of the probability of exocytosis of synaptic vesicles at different varicosities in single sympathetic terminal axons in the mouse was deferens. An antibody (SV2Ab) against SV2. a proteoglycan in synaptic vesicles, labelled an area of individual sympathetic varicosities that was slightly less than that occupied by dextran-rhodamine, previously orthogradely transported into ...
