Molecular correlates of synaptic vesicle docking and fusion.
The mechanisms responsible for neurotransmitter release at the synapse have been extensively studied using biochemical, genetic, and cell biological approaches. Several significant advances have recently contributed towards an improved understanding of the molecular details of both synaptic vesicle docking and fusion, and of the general process of vesicle-mediated membrane trafficking.
