Abstract excerpt
Visual, vestibular, and auditory neurons rely on ribbon synapses for rapid continuous release and recycling of synaptic vesicles. Molecular mechanisms responsible for the properties of ribbon synapses are mostly unknown. The zebrafish vision mutant nrc has unanchored ribbons and abnormal synaptic transmission at cone photoreceptor synapses. We used positional cloning to identify the nrc mutation as a premature...
