Abstract excerpt
Use-dependent activation of protein kinase A (PKA) modulates transmitter release, contributing to synaptic plasticity. Snapin, a PKA substrate in neurons, associates with the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex, and its phosphorylation leads to increased binding of synaptotagmin to the SNARE complex. We investigated the role of PKA-dependent phosphorylation of...
