We have used the activity-dependent probe FM1-43 with electron
microscopy (EM) to examine endocytosis at the vertebrate nerve-muscle synapse. Preparations were fixed after very brief neural stimulation at
reduced temperature, and internalized FM1-43 was photoconverted into an
electron-dense reaction product. To locate the reaction product, we
reconstructed computer renderings of individual terminal boutons
from serial EM sections. Most of the reaction product was seen in
40-60 nm vesicles. All of the labeled vesicles were clathrin-coated,
and 92% of them were located within 300 nm of the plasma membrane,
suggesting that they had undergone little processing after retrieval
from their endocytic sites. The vesicles (and by inference the sites)
were not dispersed randomly near the plane of the membrane but
instead were clustered significantly near active zones.
Additional reaction product was found within putative macropinosomes;
these appeared to form from deep membrane invaginations near active
zones. Thus two mechanisms of endocytosis were evident after brief
stimulation. Endocytosis near active zones is consistent with the
existence of local exo/endocytic cycling pools. This mechanism also
might serve to maintain alignment of active zones with postsynaptic
folds during periods of activity when vesicular and plasma membranes
are interchanged.
