Inhibition of Neurotransmission by Peptides Containing the Synaptic Protein Interaction Site of N-Type Ca2+ Channels

TL;DR: Results are consistent with the hypothesis that binding of the synaptic core complex to presynaptic N-type Ca2+ channels is required forCa2+ influx to elicit rapid, synchronous neurotransmitter release.
Journal ArticleDOI

Snapin: a SNARE–associated protein implicated in synaptic transmission

TL;DR: The results suggest that Snapin is an important component of the neurotransmitter release process through its modulation of the sequential interactions between the SNAREs and synaptotagmin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical and functional interaction of the active zone proteins, CAST, RIM1, and Bassoon, in neurotransmitter release

TL;DR: It is shown that all the CAZ proteins thus far known form a large molecular complex in the brain, including CAST, RIM1, Munc13-1, Bassoon, and Piccolo, and that CAST serves as a key component of theCAZ structure and is involved in neurotransmitter release by binding these CAZprotein.
Journal ArticleDOI

The TRPM7 ion channel functions in cholinergic synaptic vesicles and affects transmitter release.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TRPM7, a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel family, resides in the membrane of synaptic vesicles of sympathetic neurons, forms molecular complexes with the synaptic vESicle proteins synapsin I and synaptotagmin I, and directly interacts with synapticvesicular snapin.
