Abstract excerpt
Ca²+-evoked transmitter release shows a high dynamic range over spontaneous release. We investigated the role of the Ca²+ sensor protein, Synaptotagmin2 (Syt2), in both spontaneous and Ca²+-evoked release under direct control of presynaptic [Ca²+](i), using an in vivo rescue approach at the calyx of Held. Re-expression of Syt2 rescued the highly Ca²+ cooperative release and suppressed the elevated spontaneous...
