Abstract excerpt
The cysteine string proteins are integral synaptic vesicle proteins, critical for fast, Ca2+ -regulated exocytosis. Drosophila larvae with null mutations for the cysteine string protein (csp) gene have temperature-sensitive impairments of neurotransmission and presynaptic calcium removal at the neuromuscular junction. Using the larval Drosophila preparation to examine central pattern generation, we characterized...
