  • membrane of synaptic vesicle
  • chromaffin granules
  • basic FUNCTION
  • a calcium sensor on the synaptic vesicle surface
  • acting as a calcium regulator of neurotransmitter release at the central synapse to initiate signal transduction
  • Ca2+ sensor for fast synchronous neurotransmitter release in forebrain neurons and chromaffin cells
  • involved in exocytosis and endocytosis, selectively required for the fast synchronous component of exocytosis, but not for the delayed, asynchronous component
  • acting as a transcriptional coactivator with SNF/SWI complex characterized as a chromatin remodeling factor enhancing accessibility of the transcriptional machinery to DNA within a repressive chromatin structure
  • mediating FGF1 release
  • may have a regulatory role in the membrane interactions during trafficking of synaptic vesicles at the active zone of the synapse
  • Ca2+ sensor for fast neurotransmitter release, functioning by Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding and/or by Ca2+-dependent soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex binding
  • Ca(2+)-binding motif of the C(2)B domain of synaptotagmin 1 essential for synaptic transmission
  • is necessary for the endocytosis of synaptic vesicles
  • triggers the fusion of docked vesicles by local Ca2+-dependent buckling of the plasma membrane together with the zippering of SNAREs
  • involved in neurite outgrowth, early neuronal cell development, neuropeptide signaling/synthesis and neuronal receptor
  • Syt1 controls both evoked and spontaneous release of neurotransmitter quanta at a synapse as a simultaneous Ca2+-dependent activator and clamp of exocytosis
  • modulates lipid acyl chain order in lipid bilayers by demixing phosphatidylserine
  • functions as a dual Ca(2+) sensor for both endo- and exocytosis, potentially coupling these two components of the vesicle cycle
  • importance of an asymmetric distribution of acidic lipids for synaptotagmin 1 function as a Ca2+ sensor
  • may be a Ca2+ sensors for spontaneous release
  • is necessary for the Ca++ dependence of clathrin-mediated endocytosis
  • synaptic vesicle membrane protein that serves as a multifunctional regulator during the exocytosis of neurotransmitter release
  • with SYT1, CPLX1 synchronizes and stimulates rapid fusion of accumulated docked vesicles in response to physiological Ca(2+) concentrations
  • in neurotransmission SYT1 tethers synaptic vesicles to the presynaptic plasma membrane by binding to acidic membrane lipids and SNAREs and promotes rapid SNARE-mediated fusion upon Ca(2+) triggering
  • vesicular protein interacting with membranes upon low-affinity CaČ&
  • 8314;-binding, and playing a major role in excitation-release coupling, by synchronizing calcium entry with fast neurotransmitter release

  • SYT1 and SYT2 can redundantly control transmitter release at specific brain synapses
  • SYT1, a Ca2+ sensor, mediates ultrafast exocytosis in neurons and neuroendocrine cells
  • SYT1 mediates both phasic and tonic release at photoreceptor synapses, revealing unexpected flexibility in the ability of SYT1 to regulate Ca2+-dependent synaptic transmission
  • Ca2+-sensitive SYT1 oligomers, acting as an exocytosis clamp, are critical for maintaining the balance among the different modes of neurotransmitter release
  • role of the SYT1 protein involved in the secretory vesicle docking, priming, and fusion
  • juxtamembrane linker of SYT1 plays a crucial role in exocytosis by mediating multimerization
