Expression and distribution of synaptotagmin family members in the zebrafish retina

Abstract: Synaptotagmins belong to a large family of proteins. Although various synaptotagmins have been implicated as Ca2+ sensors for vesicle replenishment and release at conventional synapses, their roles at retinal ribbon synapses remain incompletely understood. Zebrafish is a widely used experimental model for retinal research. We therefore investigated the homology between human, rat, mouse, and zebrafish synaptotagmins 1–10 using a bioinformatics approach. We also characterized the expression and distribution of … Show more

“…Nothing is known about possible roles of Syt9 in retina. Consistent with evidence for Syt9 genes in zebrafish retina (Henry et al, 2022), we show evidence for Syt9 in multiple retinal neurons. Selective elimination of Syt9 from rods caused a reduction in scotopic b-waves and oscillatory potentials, while global elimination of Syt9 increased b-waves, suggesting actions at multiple sites in the retina.…”

“…Structurally, synaptotagmin proteins are composed of a transmembrane region, a linker region, and two calcium domains (C2A and C2B). In zebrafish, exon 2 of syt7a encodes a transmembrane domain and the last four exons encode two calcium binding domains, C2A and C2B ( Fig 2A ) [ 28 ]. In other vertebrates, the synaptotagmin 7 genes encodes multiple splicing isoforms, with at least three isoforms present in mouse and in humans [ 29 ].…”

“…In other vertebrates, the synaptotagmin 7 genes encodes multiple splicing isoforms, with at least three isoforms present in mouse and in humans [ 29 ]. Two alternatively spliced syt7a isoforms are predicted in zebrafish and expression of both has been confirmed within the zebrafish retina [ 28 ]. We named the isoforms syt7aα and syt7aβ , consistent with the nomenclature of syt7a isoforms present in mice ( Fig 2B ).…”
