Annotated paper:Ryan TA, et al. "Synaptic vesicle recycling in synapsin I knock-out mice" J Cell Biol. 1996 Sep;134(5):1219-27 PMID:8794863
Figure(s):Fig. 2
Annotation description:In this paper, the authors used the fluorescence imaging of FM1-43 dye to investigate the neurotransmitter release in wild type and Synapsin I KO mice. They showed that the number of vesicles that release their content and the total recycling vesicle pool is reduced by 60-70%.

Additional literature:In this paper, the interaction of synapsin 1 with F-actin and its role in the polymerization of actin filaments were investigated in vitro. The authors demonstrated that synapsin I binds to actin in vitro, which supports the idea that synapsin 1 is involved in clustering of synaptic vesicles at the presynaptic terminal. Also, phosphorylation of synapsin I may be involved in regulating the translocation of synaptic vesicles to their sites of release. @ PMID:3104800

In this paper, using a synapsin 1 null mouse model, it was shown that the density of synaptic vesicles in the nerve terminal, as well as the size of them, is reduced. @ PMID:8557745
