Abstract excerpt

Previous work has shown that cysteine-string proteins (csps) are synaptic vesicle proteins that are important for evoked neurotransmitter release at Drosophila neuromuscular junctions. Indirect evidence has implicated csps in a regulatory link between synaptic vesicles and presynaptic calcium (Ca...
