Abstract excerpt
Previous work indicated that the temperature-dependent block of synaptic transmission in cysteine string protein (csp) mutants of Drosophila was attributable to a failure of nerve impulses to trigger transmitter release. The current investigations were undertaken to resolve in more detail the mechanism of this transmission deficit. Our studies reveal that the spider venom toxin alpha-latrotoxin can trigger a...
