Abstract excerpt
In this study, we tested a hypothesis that activation of calcineurin, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase 2B, is an initiating signal for synaptic vesicle endocytosis. We examined effects of calcineurin inhibitors, cyclosporin A or FK506 and calmodulin inhibitors on stimulus-induced FM1-43 uptake into nerve terminals of Drosophila larvae. Fluorescent FM1-43 labels recycling synaptic vesicles in nerve...
