Abstract:
:Despite the importance of neuropeptide release, which is evoked by long bouts of action potential activity and which regulates behavior, peptidergic vesicle movement has not been examined in living nerve terminals. Previous in vitro studies have found that secretory vesicle motion at many sites of release is constitutive: Ca(2+) does not affect the movement of small synaptic vesicles in nerve terminals or the movement of large dense core vesicles in growth cones and endocrine cells. However, in vivo imaging of a neuropeptide, atrial natriuretic factor, tagged with green fluorescent protein in larval Drosophila melanogaster neuromuscular junctions shows that peptidergic vesicle behavior in nerve terminals is sensitive to activity-induced Ca(2+) influx. Specifically, peptidergic vesicles are immobile in resting synaptic boutons but become mobile after seconds of stimulation. Vesicle movement is undirected, occurs without the use of axonal transport motors or F-actin, and aids in the depletion of undocked neuropeptide vesicles. Peptidergic vesicle mobilization and post-tetanic potentiation of neuropeptide release are sustained for minutes.
