Abstract excerpt
Synaptotagmin I, a synaptic vesicle protein required for efficient synaptic transmission, contains a highly conserved polylysine motif necessary for function. Using Drosophila, we examined in which step of the synaptic vesicle cycle this motif functions. Polylysine motif mutants exhibited an apparent decreased Ca2+ affinity of release, and, at low Ca2+, an increased failure rate, increased facilitation, and...
