Vesicle associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP2/synaptobrevin2), a core SNARE protein residing on synaptic vesicles (SVs), forms helix bundles with syntaxin-1 and SNAP25 for the SNARE assembly. Prior to the SNARE assembly, the structure of VAMP2 is unclear. Here, by using in-cell NMR spectroscopy, we d...

Synaptic vesicles are storage organelles for neurotransmitters in the pre-synaptic cytosol. When an action potential arrives at the pre-synaptic terminal, they fuse with the pre-synaptic membrane and neurotransmitters are released. In this project, we set out to study the protein interactions formed...

Schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders are postulated to be developmental disorders resulting from synapse dysfunction. How susceptibility genes for major mental disorders could lead to synaptic deficits in humans is not well-understood. Here we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs...

Neurotransmitter release occurs through exocytosis of synaptic vesicles. α-Synuclein’s function and dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease and other synucleinopathies is tightly linked to synaptic vesicle binding. Age is the biggest risk factor for synucleinopathy, and ~15% of synaptic vesicle proteins ...

Previous studies have demonstrated an importance of alpha-synuclein as a modulator of various mechanisms implicated in chemical neurotransmission but information about other two synuclein family members’ involvement in molecular processes taking place in presynaptic terminals is limited. Here we dem...

The probability of synaptic vesicle (SV) fusion in response to an action potential, termed vesicular release probability (Pr), is a stochastic but tightly regulated process. SNARE proteins are the molecular executors of SV fusion and therefore, key modulators of Pr. The non-canonical SNARE VAMP4 is ...

Lipids and their metabolic enzymes are a critical point of regulation for the membrane curvature required to induce membrane fusion during synaptic vesicle recycling. One such enzyme is diacylglycerol kinase theta (DGKq), which produces phosphatidic acid (PtdOH) that generates negative membrane curv...
