Synaptotagmin 1 directs repetitive release by coupling vesicle exocytosis to the Rab3 cycle.

Abstract excerpt

In response to Ca(2+) influx, a synapse needs to release neurotransmitters quickly while immediately preparing for repeat firing. How this harmonization is achieved is not known. In this study, we found that the Ca(2+) sensor synaptotagmin 1 orchestrates the membrane association/disassociation cycle of Rab3, which functions in activity-dependent recruitment of synaptic vesicles. In the absence of Ca(2+),...
