Abstract excerpt
At the presynaptic active zone, action-potential-triggered neurotransmitter release requires that fusion-competent synaptic vesicles are placed next to Ca2+ channels. The active zone resident proteins RIM, RBP, and Munc13 are essential contributors for vesicle priming and Ca2+-channel recruitment. Although the individual contributions of these scaffolds have been extensively studied, their respective functions in...
