Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors regulate clustering, fusion and acidification of the rat brain synaptic vesicles

Abstract: The brain nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) expressed in pre-synaptic nerve terminals regulate neurotransmitter release. However, there is no evidence for the expression of nAChRs in synaptic vesicles, which deliver neurotransmitter to synaptic cleft. The aim of this paper was to investigate the presence of nAChRs in synaptic vesicles purified from the rat brain and to study their possible involvement in vesicles life cycle. According to dynamic light scattering analysis, the antibody against extracel… Show more

“…ACh receptors are mainly divided into muscarinic receptors (M receptor‐G protein coupled receptor) and nicotine receptors (N receptor‐ion channel receptor). Its main structural feature is the pentamer 33,34 composed of 17 subunits, namely, α1‐10, β1‐4, δ, ε, and γ. Among them, the most common pentamer combinations are α4α5β2, α3α5β4 and homologous α7 pentamers.…”

“…Amph is involved in the invagination and fission steps of clathrin-mediated synaptic vesicle endocytosis [68] and, in the interactome map, it was directly linked to Syp, a protein localized in the membrane of synaptic vesicles implicated in the vesicular targeting of the plasma membrane and known to have reduced expression in several brain areas in SCHZ patients [69]. The altered expressions of Amph and Syp are consonant with the known disbalance of presynaptic neurotransmitter release mechanisms in SCHZ [69] and nicotine misuse [70,71]. However, other components of the synapse are also affected.…”
