| Research Abstract |
The present study revealed that (1) there were multiple Ca^<2+> channels at motor nerve terminals of Drosophila larvae. (2) After exocytosis of synaptic vesicles at nerve terminals, endocytosis, the first step of vesicle recycling, occurred at active zone and non-active zone linked to each specific CaCa^<2+> channels. (3) Both endocytosis contribute coordinately to maintain synaptic transmission, depending on degree of motor nerve activity. (4) In addition, changes in tubulin states, monomer or dimmer and their distribution, were associated with dynamics of synaptic vesicles. These results suggest that changes in synaptic vesicle traffic underlines plastic changes in synaptic transmission after strong activity of motor nerve.
