Electrical Synapse Summary
1. direct coupling of cytoplasm (electrically-coupled, dye-coupled) 2. attenuates signal (100 mV action potential can be reduced to 1 mV current) 3. often short duration, (~width AP; linked to memb potential timecourse) 4. mimic the ionic conditions of the cell (excitatory or inhibitory) 5. bidirectional information flow (but some are rectifiyng), 6. some gated (for example, by changes in calcium, pH, lipid composition) 7. generally not plastic or modifiable
31
quantal content equation
evoked responses / mini size = #SV/AP = quantal content
32
NSF
N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor. Named because the activity is blocked by the drug. eventually separates the SNARES
33
SNAPs (a,b)
soluble NSF attachment proteins. Named based on discovery method (binds to NSF)
34
SNARE
SNAP receptor. Named based on discovery of binding NSF via a/b SNAP
35
V-SNARE
vesicle SNARE (R-SNARE). Transmembrane protein in the vesicle which confers specificity. Called ‘synaptobrevin’ or ‘VAMP’ at the synapse.
36
T-SNARE
target membrane SNARE (Q-SNARE). Transmembrane protein in the target membrane which confers specificity. Called ‘syntaxin’ and ‘SNAP-25) at the synapse
37
SNARE complex
ultra-stable trimeric complex composed of V-SNARE (synaptobrevin), T-SNAREs (syntaxin and SNAP-25)
38
about how long does it take calcium channels to open in the presynaptic neuron?
300 us
39
Kd for calcium
0.1 uM
40
Calcium channels model
41
Ca response to different APs
42
calcium influx (and hence neurotransmitter release) is determined by:
(1) calcium channel kinetics Kinetics of open state Ca channels i. slow activation kinetics ii. high temperature sensitivity (Q10 = 6 to 12) (2) by driving force for calcium predicted reversal potential (2mM external 50 nM internal) = +130 mV reported reversal potential for calcium = +40-7 mV (not +130 mV) i. low driving force at peak Vm of action potential ii. high driving force as Vm repolarizes
43
calcium sensor
synaptotagmin also required for fast vessicle fusion (accelerates but not essential)
