Abstract excerpt
Endocytosis of synaptic vesicles follows exocytosis, and both processes require external Ca(2+). However, it is not known whether Ca(2+) influx through one route initiates both processes. At larval Drosophila neuromuscular junctions, we separately measured exocytosis and endocytosis using FM1-43. In a temperature-sensitive Ca(2+) channel mutant, cacophony(TS2), exocytosis induced by high K(+) decreased at...
