In nerve terminals, synaptic vesicles form large clusters anchored
to the presynaptic plasmalemma. Recently, FM1-43 photobleaching
experiments carried out at frog motor endplates demonstrated lack of
lateral intermixing of synaptic vesicles within clusters, even during
sustained nerve terminal stimulation (; ). We now have investigated the mobility of synaptic vesicle
membranes during the endocytic limb of their exo-endocytic cycle. To
this aim, we have carried out photobleaching experiments on nerve
terminals of hippocampal neurons prelabeled with CY3-conjugated
antibodies directed against lumenal epitopes of synaptotagmin I. This
conjugate is taken up specifically by synaptic vesicle membranes during
endocytosis and then is recovered in newly formed synaptic vesicles.
Using this method, we show that synaptic vesicle membranes intermix
after endocytosis. Staurosporine, which at hippocampal synapses
partially inhibits unloading of FM1-43, but does not block uptake of
antibody probes, prevents this intermixing. Our results indicate that
synaptic vesicle docking and/or fusion with the plasmalemma correlate
with the release of their membranes from a restraining matrix that
hinders their lateral mobility. They suggest that membrane
intermediates involved in synaptic vesicle reformation interact with a
distinct, highly dynamic cytoskeleton and that newly formed synaptic
vesicles are recaptured at random within vesicle clusters.
Staurosporine, by inhibiting mobility within the terminal, may favor
recapture of new vesicles near sites of endocytosis.
