Abstract excerpt
Neurotransmitter secretion at synapses is controlled by several processes-morphological docking of vesicles at release sites, priming of docked vesicles to make them fusion competent, and calcium-dependent fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane . In worms, flies, and mice, mutants lacking UNC-13 have defects in vesicle priming . Current models propose that UNC-13 primes vesicles by stabilizing Syntaxin's...
